Finally, the first volume of Kyle's Bed & Breakfast is
available in print again, thanks to Sugar Maple Press. For those
unfamiliar with the addictively fun-filled series, Kyle's B&B
is a syndicated comic strip focused on the lives of a group of
quirky, (and often hunky ), gay men living in a harbor town B&B
in the northeastern USA. Closeted minor-league baseball player
Brad, corporate shark Lance, gossip-loving fashionista Richard,
troubled high-school senior Eduardo, and Kyle, the 30-something
inn-keeper with a heart of gold who keeps all of these hot-shots in
line. Romance... drama... topical issues... laugh-out-loud humor...
sexiness...hot apple pie and some hot guys raiding the fridge in
their briefs... this comic strip covers all the bases And
underlying it all is a warm message of hope. Included in this
volume are the first 5 years of the comic strip, along with a
previously-unpublished 2 episode story, and a detailed
floor-by-floor "blueprint" layout of the B&B. When this book
was originally published in 2004, it went on to become a Lambda
Literary Award Finalist for "Best Humor Book" of the year. This new
Sugar Maple Press edition features sharply improved graphics; the
comic strip images are larger, with crisper & clearer
delineation. Also restored are the individual episode numbers,
something curiously lacking in the original edition. These days,
Kyle's Bed & Breakfast has a vastly larger, worldwide
readership, with an enormous online presence. The strip also went
full-color a few years ago, unlike the early black & white
episodes featured in this volume, (and those in the follow-up
volume, "Kyle's Bed & Breakfast: A Second Bowl of Serial," also
available from Sugar Maple Press). What fun it is to travel back
and see how it all began, before the strip was in color, before the
characters all knew each other. This is one B&B vacation you do
NOT want to miss
