This week’s issue of The Stranger is about the size of a pamphlet, so my cartoon is on a one-week hiatus. Instead, dear blog-reader, here is the back cover art for the book collection, featuring full-color versions of a few non-nudity ads. (In my original design, one of the ads showed a woman in a strap-on, to which my publisher said “Mm, nah.”)

“Lustlab Ad of the Week” is a comic adaptation of one of the week’s kinky personal ads in Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger, and I post them here every Wednesday. See it on their site here. And watch for LUST, the “Lustlab Ad of the Week” book collection (Fantagraphics Books) in January 2008!

Last week, I talked about matters of LUST in a radio interview with the brainy, adorable Jeannie Yandel (10 mins.). I call Lustlab “my dream assignment” (true enough).

Did I have too much coffee that day, or not enough? I really need to work on finishing my own sentences. And will any of the interviews I’ve done include my comment about how repressed sexual desires can be dangerous, viz. Republicans and priests in the news? Is that inflammatory? Seems pretty obvious to me.

I’ve had the theme song to “Three’s Company” going through my head for days. Serves me right, I guess.

White dots everywhere = shimmery!

Michael Lorah from Newsarama, a comics site, interviewed me about the sexy, sexy world of LUST, and you can find the interview here.

Two common references in the Lustlab ads are: actress Angelina Jolie, and movie “Secretary.” Almost everyone wants to be one of the two main characters in Secretary.
