Chelsea Boys is the first collection of Glen Hanson and Allan Neuwirth’s popular syndicated comic strip that appears in magazines, newspapers, and websites throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The strip follows the often outrageous antics, wild sexcapades, and everyday heartbreaks of three gay roommates, as different as can be from one another, living together in a three bedroom apartment in the heart of New York’s trendy Chelsea neighborhood: cuddly Nathan, a short, neurotic forty-something native New Yorker; gorgeous, buff Sky, a naive yet deeply spiritual art student raised on a farming commune in Canada; and the fabulous black club diva Soirée, who masks his inner pain with a rapier wit and outrageous style. Filled with humor, humanity, and wry observations on life in a modern setting, Chelsea Boys presents a family you’ve never seen before, and storytelling that speaks the truth rather than playing to stereotypes.
Glen Hanson, a native of Toronto, is an internationally acclaimed designer, illustrator, writer, and art director. His award-winning work has appeared in Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, MTV, Comedy Central, VH-1, Vogue, The New York Times, and Maxim. His character designs have been seen on animated shows such as Beetlejuice and Daria, and he designed the album cover for Blink 182’s The Enema Strikes Back.
Allan Neuwirth, a native New Yorker, writes, produces, directs, and designs for a wide variety of media, with a strong emphasis on comedy and animation. His host of writing credits includes Courage, the Cowardly Dog, Gadget and the Gadgetinis, Toonsylvania, and Dragon Tales. Together, the men have written stories for DC Comic’s Cartoon Network comic books, designed characters for Hoppin’ Jon, an independent animated short, and collaborated on Wonder Woman vs. The Red Menace for DC Comics.

In the 1950s, Lucille Ball couldn't even say the word pregnant” on TV. But by the 1990s, Carrie Bradshaw and her posse could say everything there is to say about sexand demonstrate most of it. How have broadcast standards changed from the dawn of television till today? Through interviews with the creators of landmark shows, author Allan Neuwirth traces that history, revealing how the upheaval of the 1960s led to edgier fare such as The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour; how counterculture baby boomers made Saturday Night Live-style satire possible; how stand-up comedians changed the sitcom landscape; how UPN and the WB raised eyebrows with comedies aimed at minorities; and much more.
