Press Release Body: Y2CHRIST-LITE INVADES COFFEE TABLES AND BATHROOMS EVERYWHERE
Web comic anthology now offered on Amazon


According to half-Hawaiian, half-robot Kepa, "This book contains 52 comics that are
all unsolicited homosexual love letters to the author\'s friends and acquaintances.
Truly a chilling look into the author\'s sexual obsessions. Also contains a bonus
half-sized comic that is instead about how horses are neat. Stay off my property."

But Y2Christ-lite (y2cl) offers much more than a terrifying view of homo-eroticism
and a love of the equine. This comic, originally created as a Web comic by
Bremerton, Washington-based artist J Horsley III, takes a not-so-subtle look at the
nuances of daily living, the friendship between like minds and the topics which most
people so often contemplate but never have the confidence to reveal in public.

Horsley\'s strips about touch-and-go topics have been combined into an anthology now
available on Amazon and through the artist\'s personal Web sites. The release of the
comic comes as Horsley\'s work has been gaining attention on the West Coast. Even
Parry Gripp, lead singer for Santa Barbara-based pop-punk band Nerf Herder, whose
music was featured as the theme to Joss Whedon cult phenomenon "Buffy the Vampire
Slayer," noticed the in-your-face humor of the Web strips. "I love those pieces you
did!" he said. Chances are, other readers will, too.

Y2Christ-lite Vol. 1 & 2 is a collection of painstakingly crafted comics. The
anthology contains the first 52 ½ comic strips by Horsley as well as more than 40
pages of bonus material and never-before- seen sketches, drawings and text.

Influenced in style and humor by comics such as Calvin and Hobbes, Wizard of Id and
Boondocks, y2cl is a tumultuous, laugh-out-loud romp through the psyche of its
creator. With wit, energy and insight, y2cl is certain to give any reader several
eye-rolling moments - if they can stop laughing long enough to produce the movement.
