Rio Safari

Homobody is a zine series by Rio Safari published in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.

Homobody is not quite a comic but not quite a literary zine - instead it is a series of captioned drawings, dedicated to exploring the world of queers who don't take drugs and go out to clubs every night but would rather stay home and read a good book. Over time, recurring characters have developed and many formats have been experimented with.

The first issue of Homobody appeared in December 2007. The next issue was released in April of 2008, the third in June of 2008, and the fourth in November of the same year. The fifth issue appeared in October of 2009. The sixth issue was published in June 2010 and featured interviews with comics creator Robert Triptow, and the zine archive project QZAP, as well as contributions by Robert Kirby .

It is a black and white photocopied 1/2 size zine.

"Rio is boy-crazy! And this is his comic zine celebrating his love for homo-bodies. Drawings of dork boys, crust boys, and most importantly, cute boys! Rio claims some of these stories are "vintage" Homobodies, which means there are some cheeky references to trolleys and mustache wax. Lil' Homos is about a group of gender-bending kids, and Wish Come True is a one-pager about a handsome magic fairy. There are a couple other one page comics, but mostly, this issue is drawings of hot dudes."
