Gay comic naked
Nearly Gay / Naked Racist is Phil’s debut DVD free – containing two full shows recorded at The Garrick Theatre, London on the back of his Edinburgh Comedy Award win (for The Naked Racist).
Phil says of the shows…
“Nearly Same-sex attracted saw me step to the Rise Comedy Club and present the first of a trio of story-telling shows.
The show was an answer to an accusation of homophobia and a light-hearted look at the gay collective from a unbent man’s perspective.
Starting with an unsettling onstage interaction with queer San Franciscan comic Scott Capurro, I took the audience through a series of humorous anecdotes based around my experiences with my gay friends, homosexual Amsterdam and creature snogged by my then girlfriend’s father (weird!) and finish with a broken penis in a hotel in Melbourne whilst avoiding the advances of hairstylist Stavros. Intrigued? You should be. ”
“The Naked Racist was my tribute to pacifism. It was the follow up to Nearly Lgbtq+ and it recounted an incredible wonky night in Amsterdam which ended with full frontal nudity and a unused perspective on racial harmony.
Again at the tiny Rise II, the present included a packed metal b
Noelle Stevenson Shares Her Coming Out Story in an Original Comic
In OprahMag.com's series Coming Out, LGBTQ change-makers reflect on their journey toward self-acceptance. While it's pretty to bravely share your self with the world, choosing to do so is entirely up to you—period.
Noelle Stevenson is a New York Times bestselling author and cartoonist and the showrunner of Netflix'sShe-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She is also the author of the National Book Award-nominated graphic novel Nimona, about a powerful and precocious shapeshifter, and the co-creator of the GLAAD award-winning comic series Lumberjanes, about a group of young girls attending a mysterious and magical summer camp. She excels at crafting whimsical feminist fables, her slyly irreverent operate defined by a quick wit that belies the outsized anxieties of her well-drawn characters. In Stevenson's worlds, there's side-eyed sarcasm and wide-eyed wonder.
Stevenson's stories are populated by proudly gender non-conforming people, despite her own bumpy path to coming out, part of which she lays bare in her recent memoir, The Fire Never Goes Out, a wry and emotionally raw self-portrait of the artist as a
Comics: Underground and Alternative Comics in the United States
First Things First...
This lesson design covers underground and alternative comics in the United States from the 1960s to the submit. Underground and alternative comics are the closest of any American comics to high culture and the avant-garde and could usefully be compared to art house, New Wave, or independent production as occupying a midway point between the avant-garde and mass culture. “Underground comix” were an integral part of the youth counterculture of the overdue 1960s and preliminary 1970s and were succeeded in the 1980s and 1990s by “alternative comics” that were loosely connected to the indie/alternative subculture of that era. Despite their closeness to high culture, underground and alternative comics have not been considered worthy of incorporation into the field of art history, a prime example of the privileging of lofty culture over mass or popular identity. This is a hierarchy that has been interrogated and debunked for the past three decades but that nevertheless still remains in effect, albeit in attenuated form. Despite this continuing lack of recognition, underground and alternative comics have aestheti
Phoebe Zeit-Geist is a comic strip featuring a heroine of the same call which was created by writer Michael O’Donoghue and drawn by comics designer Frank Springer. It appeared over several years in the pages of the literary magazine Evergreen Review, founded in 1957 by Grove Press editor Barney Rosset, which may be the reason for its unfamiliarity to the majority of comics readers. O’Donghue contributed to National Lampoon and became Saturday Late hours Live’s first head journalist. Springer started out as an assistant to Terry and the Pirates cartoonist George Wunder and moved to comic books, first to Dell, then DC, and Marvel. Phoebe Zeit-Geist was an experiment for the magazine and from accounts I’ve come across it was meant to be a satire on the damsel in distress trope. The strip, as you’ll find out from reading this chapter, would’ve given the Comics Code Authority reviewers aneurysms!
This chapter first came to my attention via blog penner UK Jarry on his Street Laughter blog because of its inclusion of two gay characters, “Puff” Branigan and “Flit” Whittaker. My first impression of the characters is that they are outright
