Ho! Ho! Ho!

It’s that time of year again.  Man, it came fast this year!  I guess it always does, but somehow, the Holiday Season always manages to sneak up on me.  Go fig!   Well, what would this time of year be like without the annual BOYTOONS MAGAZINE Christmas issue?  God only knows!  Why, the world might implode without it, I tells ya!  LOL!

So here we go, boys and girls.  I hope you’ve all been extra special naughty and nice this year, ‘cause this years’ list is simply stuffed with fabulous goodies – -in no particular order as always!

#1 – The Fanboys of the Universe 2010 Calendar.

Folks, I have to tell you, there is simply nothing sexier than a studly comicbook fanboy lying nekkid on a bed of Marvel and DC comics! Oh man… you feel that?  Them’s your knees getting’ weak! LOL! You wanna have a great 2010? Then pick up your very own copy of the “Fanboys of the Universe 2010 Calendar”. You can get yours from the Fanboys of the Universe website (which I love by the way!) and drool over these hunky hotties every single day of the new year!

#2 – “Sauna Slumber” by Humbugged

God knows, I have been longing for this day since I first laid eyes on Humbuged’s incredibly sexy artwork.  Finally, Hummy’s treating us to a Manga starring the all-too-delicious Keric.  “Sauna Slumber” is available for download via the StudioRai29 website, and it’s print-ready.

While Keric tries to relax in a sauna, a mystery man comes in and gives him an intense orgasm.  Do you really wanna miss this?  I got it.  It’s AWESOME!  Get yours today Humbuged fans!!

#3 – A deck of dicks – The Anti-Heroes playing cards.

Folks, if you’re into playing Strip Poker, or any other naughty card game, this deck of cards is for you.  Created by JC Etheredge, the official Anti-Heroes deck of 54 playing cards is nothing short of awesome.  These cards are beautifully printed, and each one features an incredibly hung hunk hornilly drawn by JC.  This deck of dicks makes a fabulous stocking stuffer… and trust me when I tell you it’s the best fun you’ll ever have playing Dirty Clubs!

#4 – Winter Graces by Tori Amos.

What would the Holiday Season be without a soundtrack?  This year, I choose the lovely and wildly talented Tori Amos and her beautiful new Holiday album “Midwinter Graces” to keep me company while I take a page from Mrs. Claus’ book and wrap presents and bake gingerbread cookies! LOL!  Tori may be a little out there, but only in the very best ways.  Her voice is exquisite and her music is enchanting.

This collection of Holiday songs, some originals, some reimaginings of old classics, puts a terrific new spin on Christmas Carols, and welcomingly freshen up the holiday repertoire.

#5 – Sworn #1

Okay.  Maybe I’m tacky, I dunno!  I mean, I know that Sworn #1 is a Class Comics title!   And maybe it’s crass for me to plug one of my company’s books in this issue, but seriously folks, if you have not tried this fantastic comic… well… shame on you!

This comic is brilliantly written and illustrated by the creative duo of CJ Evans and Silvano and it’s one of my fave Class titles to come out this year.  It follows the adventures of Calais and Slammer, two sexy young super-powered dudes who fall in love.  Trouble is, they’re sworn enemies.  Sworn #1 is steamy, sexy and beautiful… and makes a fantastic gift for that special someone in your life.

#6 – The Clone Wars – the complete first season on DVD.

Oh Hells yes!  This right here has made my Holidays!  LOL!  You know I am a Star Wars nut, and I have happily embraced the Clone Wars series.  The animation is simply amazing.  Everything is rendered with such love and attention… you can’t help but admire every scene.  The stories are usually quite fun, and the Clone Wars Season 1 manages to deliver excitement and character development in a way that frankly, the prequels never could.  If you’re like me and have always wanted to see secondary characters like Kit Fisto, Plo Koon and Luminara Unduli in action, you’re gonna love this.

Also the behind the scenes specials are awesome.  You can really tell that the creators of the show love what they are doing, and love to share that with you.

My only criticism… WHERE THE HELL IS SHAAK TI?!?! Ah well, thank GOD for Ahsoka!

#7 – Under the Dome by Stephen King.

Okay.  So it weighs a ton.  But it’s a brilliant read.  Why does King Rock so much?  Simple.  He’s not a pretentious asshole.  He’s a regular Joe who writes for us regular Joes, and that’s part of why I absolutely adore him.

“Under the Dome” (which incidentally, King started working on several years before the Dome in the Simpsons movie ever happened) is full of characters you would never want to be trapped anywhere for too long with.  From country bumpkins to corrupt councilmen, the little town of Chester’s Mill, Maine is trapped under a mysterious invisible barrier.  What happens when food starts to run out?  What happens when generators give out?  It ain’t pretty I can tell you that.  This book may be a work of fiction, but it’s also a fascinating glimpse into the human psyche… and a riveting thriller that’s been my big page-turner this Holiday Season.

#8 – Glee Season 1, Volume 1 Road to Sectionals.

Yes. You will have to wait for December 29th to get your hands on this Season’s most addictive new show on DVD… and normally I loather half season DVD sets… but for the gem that is Glee, I will whole-heartedly make an exception.  I F?*%ING love this little show.  It’s wonderfully acted, and the music will make you want to jump onto your couch and sing along!  It’s so much fun, and so very nothing like real life in any way shape or form, that you simply can’t help but get pulled in!  While you’re at it, check out the awesome soundtracks.  Volume One and Volume Two are out right now!

#9 – Tom of Finland: The Comic Collection

Oh Tom, how I love you so.  You know, Tom of Finland is STILL the ultimate master of Gay Erotic Comics, and this fantastic collection of Tom’s Comics is truly a must-have for any creator of the genre.  Tom’s guys were so effortlessly sexy and masculine, and though his comics weren’t necessarily on-going story lines, they are nevertheless extremely engrossing.

Each of five 192-page volumes features eight or more complete stories, including all twenty-six episodes of Kake, Tom`s infamous ultimate leatherman. For boys and girls who like boys who like sexy male art, this attractive package is not to be missed.

#10 – Boytoon Adventures #1

Now I know I am truly tacky! LOL!  This is the second Class Comics title I’ve plugged this season… but folks, seriously – and I am not trying to toot my own horn here, but this book is a must.  I only say this because I am extremely proud of it.  Boytoon Adventures #1 is like nothing I’ve ever drawn before, AND to date, even the readers who were skeptical about it but tried it anyway have all been totally thrilled with it. So if you haven’t gotten yourself a copy yet, be sure to do so.  You might be surprised to discover a book that not only turns you on, but really pulls at your heart strings!   Plus, it’s a very attractive book.  Trust me… It makes a lovely XXXmas gift!

So there you have it, my friends.  My TOP 10 HOLIDAY MUSTS for 2009! I want to wish you and yours all the best the Season has to offer.  I leave you with this naughty Deimos Holiday Wallpaper, my special XXXmas present to you all. I dunno, Gnomes seemed festive to me this year (you can thank IKEA for that!!).  HA! HA! HA! Regardless, big, sexy, naked, hairy-chested Deimos is enjoying them!  He’s actually smiling for once!  LOL!

Have a safe and fabulous Holiday Season folks, and I’ll see you again here very shortly!

Loads of luv to you all,
Patrick XOXO
