Leonard and Larry: How Real Men Do It

A single-issue comic from Palliard Press, Leonard and Larry: How Real Men Do It (2003) offers a concise, character-driven snapshot of a long-running series. The book is most associated with writer and artist Tim Barela, whose warmly naturalistic style chronicled the domestic lives of a gay couple, Leonard and Larry, with humor and heart. This issue distills the series' appeal: a matter-of-fact, slice-of-life portrayal of a loving relationship, notable for its pioneering and unpretentious representation in independent comics.
