Description

“Same Sex Only” (June, 1984)
By Charles Phillip Bissell (1926 - )
8.5 x 12, ink and wash on board

In 1960, Boston Globe cartoonist Phil Bissell, working for $25 a day, was handed an assignment that would change his life—and the lives of fans of the brand-new AFL football team coming to Boston. “Sports editor Jerry Nason came to me and he said, ‘They’ve decided to call the team the Boston Patriots. You better have a cartoon ready for tomorrow’s edition.’” Bissel’s “Pat Patriot” cartoon was the Patriot’s logo from 1961-1992.

Crack-downs in northern Massachusetts on massage parlors in the early 1980s resulted in laws that only allowed a same-sex masseur or masseuse for clients.

Clearly, these boys are upset. No more happy endings.
