Minneapolitan Robert Kirby has been drawing and publishing comics since 1991. His self-syndicated comic strip "Curbside" (1991-2008) was collected in two books: Curbside, published with the Xeric Grant in 1998, and Curbside Boys (2002, Cleis Press). His queerboy comics zine anthology Boy Trouble debuted in 1994 and there were two book collections from Green Candy Press: The Book of Boy Trouble (2006) and The Book of Boy Trouble Volume 2: Born to Trouble (2008). The first issue of Robert's queer comics anthology THREE debuted in 2010 and was nominated for two Ignatz awards. Two more issues followed. THREE was followed by the 33-person all color anthology QU33R, published by Northwest Press in January, 2014, itself nominated for an Ignatz Award later that year.
