KLYE : "..It's a whole new era...." ...and, I wouldn't have it any other way.....
....When this strip debuted Fall, of 1998, I started reading it religiously in "Genre" Magazine, along with Glen Hanson's "Chelsea Boys" (in Next Magazine), & "The Social Life Of Ethan Green" (in HX Magazine); ...ALL of them, are now defunct, and "K'sB&B" STILL stands, because, WE caught up to it.....
..Gay rights, Gay Marriage, the right to transition, Air B&B's, stiffer penalties for Gay assault, & MANY other advances for Gay people have happened since, and "Kyle", has been there, telling it within story arcs, or, being a fun 'escape', or....for dirty Ol' Men who like teeny short-shorts on hairy Man Legs (...helllloooooo, MANNIS!) ...ha-HAAA!!
....BUT! ,,,the characters have evolved, as well; some are NOW openly 'out', some are Married, some SHOULD be,some are single (again), & some, FINALLY put away the poppers, Raymond Dragon swimwear, & Deborah Cox Dance remixes; these MEN (& Lady), are in a transitional state(s) now, and, are now, A FAMILY.....
...It's an HONOR to be reading the 600th strip of something I've been with, since it's start; It's made me look back at me OWN Life, & realize...I'M STILL HERE, to create 'my own era', and, I'm lucky to have "K'sB&B" be a part of it...
...THANKS, Sir GREG FOX, for the Pancakes, laughs, Loves, story-lines, MAN-LEGS, short-shprts, tighty-whiteys,TITS, & Kilts....you've come way LONG way, Baby.....and, after 34 years....you're still HERE.
...y'know, I came back, HOPING I didn't make spelling errors...TOO LATE! ...ha-HAA!! ...BUT, since I'm here, I started thinking about the 'evolution' of the characters....let's point 'em out....
DREW & LANCE : ...Smmmmokin' HOT, established in their relationship / careers, and now has become the most 'Adult' couple, in the B&B..THEY should make it official, & be the 1st couple to christen the new 'wing' of the Farmhouse.....
DELIA - ..the dreads are gone, but the Beyonce (circa 2003) Farrah-flip should be clipped back a bit....maybe Lisa (Darren's lesbian cop Buddy), has some...ummmm....'scissors'.....
NICK & DAVE: ...a noticeably slimmer Nick, and a more established Dave need to show the B&B'ers TRUE Married life, and should be more present to give Worldly advice, more....
RUDY: ....along, with RUDY! ...Let's see the Sexy Senior have some 'flashbacks' to his 70's / 80's heyday, and some young paramours, in 2022, onward...
SERGEI: ....Thanks GOD he's away from wishy-washy Jake!! ...We NEED more 'Bear-skin' from this HOT White Russian; NO MORE paid Lumberjack shirts, MORE Speedos, tiny shorts, Hockey tights, boxer-briefs...maybe, another 'Bear'!?
MANNIS & JEREMY: ...their union seems a bit shaky, but Mannis seems to have taken over Drew's "Person Of The Year" crown, in terms of popularity; a breakup, maybe?, with some drama -filled jealousy, on both parts!?
BRAD & PRICE: they look verrry chummy in Panel 2...they BOTH have flaws, but balance each other out...they can be the, "why can't we make this work" Couple, with Sexy hi-jinks & evolving maturation, for both characters...It worked for Drew & Lance.....
RICHARD: ...HERE'S the character that needed...and GOT, a 'physical' makeover, now, the career; a REAL JOB (online gossip website researcher?), and a sexy (Ebony) paramour, would bring Rich into the NOW...He LOOKS great, why not have the B&B'ers be nosy about HIM, for a change!??
KYLE: ....his breakup with Breyer took up much of 2021, let's give him some DRAMA; B&B finance woes, the return of a regretful Breyer, a sexy B&B guest that shows some interest in him.... Who knows, the plate's WIDE open...
DARREN & ED: ....The "New" couple, with the most PROMISE; new careers, Hot, Sexy Bods, and, with them being Ebony / Latino, are setting a NEW precedent in Gay Comic Art, being THE 1st featured 'Out' GAY Black / Latino Male couple, can REALLY bring us into a "New Era"...it'll be interesting, to see.....
...AND, there more 'Room' at the B&B, will we see more "Bottle Booty Guy"!? ...new Lovers? ...maybe Delia & Lisa being, 'on premises'!? ...to be CONTINUED... ; ) .....
I remember chasing upon the strip in the now defunct Blade magazine and I remember thinking that this strip would be cool. I saw the classic Chelsea Boys strip but I knew that this one would last longer because of the audience. Now, 600 issues later and this strip is still thriving. Some of the characters are still in development but it's still going strong. Congratulations to Greg and the followers of this strip for staying this long. There are many many many schisms within the so-called gay subculture that needs to be addressed more head on but at least the strip makes an attempt.
Congratulations, Mr. Fox for your 600th episode milestone! I infrequently post comments/feedbacks here, but I deemed this one of those necessary times. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations on 600 episodes! That's an amazing accomplishment.
I still hope Brad and Price get together for real. Think of the endless drama!
