<DIV><BR> <I>Roy & Al</I> is the first English-language book by Europe's most popular gay cartoonist, Germany's Ralf König, whose collections have sold over 250,000 copies and have been translated into five languages. <I>Roy & Al</I> is a hilarious, erotically charged series of gay comics starring two dogs whose owners are dating. Al, a purebred, is rather fey, and treats the unsophisticated with disdain, while Roy, a mongrel, is coarser and more down-to-earth (and a tad overweight). Any similarities between masters and dogs are strictly intentional. <I>Roy & Al</I> is an uproarious vision of contemporary gay life through the eyes of man's best friend.</DIV>
