G-String is a slash 96-page Harry and Johnny anthology by Ruth Kurz and Teri White.

It takes place in October 1973. Johnny learns guitar and other things. In the story, Johnny is hypnotized/brain-washed, sexually compromised, and blackmailed while he is a stripper dressed as Alexander the Great.

On the title page: "More soap and sex for literary relaxation."

The zine contains four hand-drawn illos by Ruth Kurz. It also has many photocopied publicity photos and screen shots of Clint Eastwood and David Soul. The recurring character, Dr. Ben Klein is fan-casted with Paul Michael Glaser.

Included in the zine are some lyrics to Jim Croce's "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song."

Arc

It is part of an overall arc of Harry and Johnny Stories:

Ruth Kurz's Comments

Also from 1993:

Yep, we are all guilty of writing stereotypes, I'm afraid. But it's such fun! [The] reference to H/J is probably G-STRING, with it's double meaning, as Johnny was also learning to play the guitar. It's early in his relationship with Harry, so there was still a lot for each to learn about each other and themselves. There's a later rape-Harry story which shows how much they HAVE learned. At least, that was the attempt. [1]
