As the old saying would be paraphrased for drum, “home is where the Daddy is.”

The last strips Bill made of drum on the road were of the mysterious bear figure he meets, and moves in with. This time, forced sex isn’t fun and playful, and our hero is the most defenseless he’s been, and relying on his partner to rescue him, instead of the other way around.

If there are two things which tie every theme in Bill’s work together in the drum series, one is “roadtrip” and the other is “daddy”. This entire book is, in its way, a roadtrip.

Not daydreaming anymore Bill’s drum in his later work initiates sex everywhere he can, but with Bill himself drawn in to comment on what’s happening directly, or through the character to the reader, punctuating the story.

Masculine male bar and club culture went through a revolution over the two decade span of these stories, from the indignities of police raids and harassment which dropped off somewhat after Stonewall, to being somewhat embraced, or perhaps respected by popular culture in establishments such as The Mineshaft in New York, and the various Eagle…

The two best plausible ways to deny a sexual experience is either “I wasn’t awake” or “I was drunk” (same thing). Our drum has a wide range of tastes in dream fantasies, if by wide range we mean aggressively masculine men forcing grotesquely huge and distended cocks into him in singles, doubles, and groups everywhere…
