Cruising the New York City subway, the Transfer Queen is on the prowl! These voyeuristic figure drawings—both poetic and visual—sketch the men of Gotham’s transportation system. A.W. Strouse and Patty Barth spy on strangers with a special kind of anonymous intimacy. Transfer Queen is ideal reading material for kinky commuters. But remember: “A crowded subway car is no excuse for unlawful sexual conduct!”
From Transfer Queen:
awakening from
an 8-stop nap
he immediately fellates
a NUTRAGRAIN bar
***
chubby buddha
he is at one
but falls asleep
and cracks his phone
***
leans into his iPhone
with head in hands:
she aint texting back
