Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blur the Lines was a webcomic written by Bob Kusiak which uses the escapades of its two gay male protagonists, Rick and Drew (who are partners), to comment on popular culture, contemporary politics, and the dynamics of gay sexuality. According to the author, many of the situations in the comic are inspired by actual conversations he has with his real-life partner. Each comic was accompanied with a blog entry by the author about the train of thought that led to the comic's creation, his thoughts on recent events, messages to his readership, stories about his life, and other such things. The comic started in October 2009 and has grown in popularity thanks to links from other like-minded sites.The element of gay chubby chasing is a big theme of Blur the Lines. Rick is a Chubby Chaser, Drew is a chub, and Kusiak is an unabashed chubby chaser himself, making Blur the Lines a clear case of Author Appeal. Even when the "more to love" demographic is not the subject of a strip, there is almost always a chubby character included. If you don't share Kusiak's taste in men, expect quite a few Squick moments from this comic strip. Even if you do share Kusiak's taste in men, the comic is decidedly Not Safe for Work and may evoke a Squick reaction in you, anyways.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Angrish: [2] No Bisexuals: Not in the comic itself (which is more about the creepiness of Yaoi Fangirls), but the accompanying blog entry makes it pretty clear that the author (and the commenters) thinks bisexual men don't exist, and therefore all "straight" men who ask gay guys for a hook-up despite having a girlfriend must really be gay and deep in the closet and/or just be in their hetero relationships to have babies. | |

All Gays Are Promiscuous: Though Rick and Drew are partners, they frequently seek out sex with other men. They are also both ok with the other's promiscuity, leading to a My Girl Is a Slut scenario. Subverted when Rick refuses to feel up a guy because he thinks the man's bitter ex-boyfriend may be watching them. | |
