The drawings are impossible to look at, and impossible to look away from! The coloring, however, is without peer.

Interesting history on handling AIDS when it wasn't a very well known healthcare issue, thanks for posting.

I like how with the gay man, getting tested was potentionally just an excuse to find out he is HIV+ and party in self-destructive manner. That's complicated for a straight up facts AIDS comic. It made my stomache sink a little.

GOD this art is terrible. (Then again, I'm not very good at drawing people, but still.)  
But I'm digging the skeleton(s).  
I like how Ray, when Juanita is leaving, thinks "Hmm...I'm clean and she still looks hot!"  
Did she not look hot at another viewing angle?

I guess I answered my own question.  
 
But remember Ray, use a rubber when you plan to "get it on"!
