Tyler Dorchester and the Brotherhood

Vancouver's Xtra West profiles local cartoonist Tyler Dorchester and his comic strip chronicle of queer life, The Brotherhood:

"In fact, he reserves his sharpest criticism for the body conformity and materialism pressures of the queer party scene.

'I think our culture has been hijacked by circuit boys,' he says. 'The ante just seems to go up and up. Now you need to be uncut, have a big dick, and have plastic surgery. But, I like an unshaved boy in a vintage tee.'

The Brotherhood, which premiered in Xtra West in October of 2005, is the story of a tight clique of five very different gay Vancouver guys as they navigate through some very bizarre adventures. As well as the mundane, these boys occasionally bump into Martians, religious zealots, Jesus Christ and even the Grim Reaper. They've toured Vancouver's West End, deepest darkest Alberta, and the 10th circle of hell--the one for damned homophobes."
