Chelsea Boys #79: "Makin' Love." Original 10-panel comic strip, 2002. Pen and ink with some graphite on paper. 305x324 mm; 12x12½ inches, on 14x14½-inch sheet, lightly taped to backing board. Signed and dated "Chelseaboys.com / ©2002 Hanson & Neuwirth" along right margin. The seventy-ninth strip of the wildly popular syndicated comic that followed the adventures of three gay roommates in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood in the late 1990s-mid 2000s. In this vignette, Sky and his boyfriend Chris express their love for each other after an intimate moment before Sky leaves for a weekend yoga retreat, only to be distracted by the handsome Ché (who was playfully modeled on Ethan Zohn, that year's winner of the TV show "Survivor: Africa").
