Also, you may notice something different about this episode: it's in color! I know, I said the strip is not officially going color until sometime in 2008, but... it just so happens that I did a color version of this new episode, so.... I figured, why not share it with you? (And yes, that means the next few episodes will be back to the standard black & white... but look for the color thing to happen on a regular basis sometime in the first half of 2008).
And, for everyone who prefers the black & white version of the strip, I haven't forgotten about you! Here it is, in the "vintage"black & white style.

By the way, to head off any angry comments I may get in regards to Jeff's use of "y'all" in this episode, I want to let you know up front that...yes, I know that southerners only use "y'all" when referring to a group, not a singular person. In this case, Jeff is referring to "all of you northerners" having such cold winters, (a group), not Eduardo individually. Just thought I'd clear that up in advance!
As a lifelong Southerner, I can assure y'all that Jeff's use of "ya'll" is perfectly correct.
I don't hate the color version, but I'm glad you offer the B&W for us Luddites.
Great episode! Things have come a long way since the early '80s, but still HIV's defintely a big deal and it's important not to ever forget that.
Bringing back the hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, Jeff Olson is FAB-U-LOUS - enuff said...Luv the men who show those tufts of hair and speak those words that Greg truly needs to say...Luv you Greg!!!
Love the color treatment.
Digesting the episode this week. It's kewl to see a different side of a character. We can appreciate the serious emotional turn.

I am SO SO glad to see this episode. There was a huge discussion on another message board regarding the blasé attitude people have about HIV nowadays. The younger generation, especially, thinks that the new meds are cure all and barebacking is up as well as new HIV infections. Just because people seem healthy, like that guy in the latest Project Runway, does not mean that all is "cool."

I'm 20 and I'm well aware of the dangers of AIDS/HIV and the rising levels of STDs within our community. I'm kind of tired of older people saying all this negative stuff about younger gay people. I think Jeff's reaction was way over the top. His aggression didn't lead to a discussion, it lead to a lecture. Overall I enjoy the comic strip, this episode was not my fav.
Hey Greg: I've been a fan of the B&B for a couple of years now. I really like the color in some of the newer strips.
Happy Holidays.
LOVE this episode, Greg...great that you've brought up an issue that sometimes seems so "light-hearted" these days. HIV/AIDS is still a very BIG DEAL.
Bravo to you, my friend.
As for the switch to color?
LOVE. IT.
;)
