| Gay & Lesbian Cartoons: A Couple of Guys
A Couple of Guys follows the adventures of actor Eric and cop Joey
and the colorful characters who inhabit their lives - from Marty,
Eric's shock-jock brother-in-law to Matisse, the gay dog. Lesbian
neighbors Sue and Simone are an active part of the strip, as is
successful hairdresser David and his boyfriend Miguel.
Creator Dave Brousseau, a native of Louisville, Ky., attended
Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he earned a BA in
Fine Arts. While there, he drew a weekly comic strip called "Guy
Average, Average Guy," which featured a campus radio deejay named
Marty Dinkleman and his girlfriend, Mary Ann Parker. They were
reincarnated in 1996, when Dave created "A Couple of Guys." While
the characters in "A Couple of Guys" aren't based on real people,
many of the situations are reflections of the experiences of Dave
and his friends.
