Matt Fagan is the author of the Zine Meniscus. His first comic book, Domestic Partner Of Frankenstein, was self-published in 2002, the same year that the LOVE series began. Matt also paints pictures, writes zine reviews, and makes giant masks out of papier-mache. He lives in Chicago, where he co-owns a comic book shop called Brainstorm.
Meet Jack and Pokie. They live in Chicago, on the wrong side of the tracks and well below the poverty line. They make music and art, attempt to keep their utilities turned on, and fight a largely ineffectual battle to rise above their own humble means.
Jack and Pokie are here representin' for the less popular (but hopefully not less entertaining) aspects of gay culture. They speak for the overeducated but under-qualified, the subnormally beautiful, and the nonspecifically ambitious. Because if they don't...who will?
