Binkley's Anxiety Closet

Title: Bloom County: Toons for Our Times
Creator: Berkeley Breathed
Availability: Out of Print, but IDW's working on it

I was flipping through some of my old Bloom County collections tonight, and thought I'd upload one of my favorite running gags: Micheal Binkley's Anxiety Closet.

I mean sex itself. I don't think they ever showed the character kissing a boyfriend in FBOW, did they?

I don't think so, it was considering daring enough in the US for a comic strip character to actually say he was gay in the first place.

Lynne Johnson discusses the storyline here (http://www.fborfw.com/features/lawrence/). Some interesting comments, if (as in much of FBoFW) it comes across in a slightly... cloying earnest manner.
