Andrew Georgiou is Australia's most established queer comic artist. Formally trained at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, Georgiou worked in film production for some years, before leaping back into illustration. After headlining all illustrated work for Australia's biggest gay magazine, Georgiou embarked on creating his own queer comic strip based on gay animals and inspired by his lesbian dogs Chelsea and Hua-Hua. When not at his drawing board, Andrew enjoys heckling game show contestants from the privacy of his own home.
ON COMICS
I dont get those comics like STARIA, that are a continuing saga, but only last two frames. Its slower than Days of Our Lives.
ON GARFIELD
I wish he'd come out.
ON HIS DOGS
They are the world's biggest lesbians and Im a proud PFLAG daddy. They adore eachother. It's true, gay, love.

THE STRIP
Mr Gisby’s Totally Gay Pet Shop is the biggest gay comic strip in print. Randall Gisby and his shop full of totally gay pets appear in print in over 100 cities in the world’s most widely read gay publications.
From it’s origins as gawky sketches and bent gag lines, these queer little creatures have made their way through the doggy door to become a cult hit comic strip and now a range of very bent merchandise.
Cross dressing gerbils, leather fetish gorillas, dominatrix chickens and poodles in drag, are just a few of the ingredients that have made Mr Gsiby’s Totally Gay Pet Shop what it is today. Disturbingly wonderful.
They’re Here ! They’re Queer ! They’re House Trained !
