Dear Reader,
Welcome to the world of QUEER TAILS! You are about to experience a single-panel cartoon series with adult humor and themes designed around the L.G.B.T.Q. community! A cast of adorable animal characters fill this colorful world where sexual innuendos abound, cocktails are easily found and laughter is just a page turn away. These emotionally expressive characters will crack you up as they bring to life all of the hilarious woes and wonders of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, a drag queen, a bear or just a big ole queer!
QUEER TAILS was originally published in 1995 and 1996 in a Chicago gay publication. Sadly, shortly thereafter, QUEER TAILS was packed up and tucked away. Years have passed, but this hysterical world was not forgotten and the time has arrived, yet again, to yank open the closet doors and let QUEER TAILS roam the wilds of all of the naughty minds out there! (If you've read this far, yeah, that's probably you!)
A swirling mixture of 50 cartoons have been pulled from the QUEER TAILS series and assembled into this incredible book. Some panels have been selected from the original, weekly printed QUEER TAILS cartoon series from the past and others are new panels, yet unseen, waiting to make you laugh! Finally, we can all use a bright, new frock so QUEER TAILS has been taken out of black and white print and brought to life using the bold colors of the L.G.B.T.Q. flag as it's palette.
If you are a member of the L.G.B.T.Q. community, or you know and love any of us wonderful people, please know that QUEER TAILS has been designed to be a journey of pride and finding the humor within ourselves. Most importantly, it was designed to give the gifts of smiles and laughter. There are some days, for all of us, when those can be the best gifts of all to receive. Thank you for reading.
