Boy Meets Boy (comic) - Definition and Overview

Boy Meets Boy is a yaoi web comic by K. Sandra Fuhr. It is a humorous strip based on characters from the artist's earlier, darker strip This Is Home.

Some of the principal characters include:

• Mikhael (Mik) Rasputin, a 25-year-old millionaire artist;
• Harlequinn (Harley) Goldman, his 19-year-old boyfriend, a punk musician in a group named "Boy Band";
• Skids DiAngelo, Harley's friend and bandmate, a happy-go-lucky bisexual 19-year-old college student;
• Cyanide Torres, Harley and Skids' friend and bandmate, a 19-year-old drummer and chemistry major, ostensibly heterosexual but with unresolved feelings for Skids;
• Rasheequa Jackson, law student and feminist activist, and bassist for the therefore somewhat inaccurately named Boy Band;
• Tabitha Sinclair, Mik and Harley's landlady and daughter of Satan;
• Tybalt O'Donnell, Mik's lascivious ex-boyfriend with designs on Harley and Skids;
• Collin Sri'Vastra, cynical self-proclaimed asexual (though in a relationship with Fox) and enemy of Skids;
• Fox Maharassa, wild and mischievous bisexual, best friend and lover of Collin.

Boy Meets Boy ran on KeenSpace and KeenSpot starting on September 22, 2000, and daily from December of that year to January 10, 2004. It was one of the most popular Queer-themed comics on the web during its run. Its archive remains available on the web.

It was succeeded by Friendly Hostility (http://www.friendlyhostility.com/), a strip focusing on Collin and Fox.
