Back on the 28th, a posting here on the gay cartoonist Mioki, with sexy but not X-rated illustrations. Now four all-sex pages from Mioki’s Side by Side (2008) on AZBlogX: about the touching story of a loving couple, plus (in this case) some well-done porn.

Brief notice: sex comics on AZBlogX
May 3, 2016Where is he now?
May 2, 2016(Mostly about tiki stuff, but with some initial talk of hot-hot man-man sex, which you should skip over if you’re modest about such things.)
A week ago, in “Sex comics: Brad Parker / Ace Moorcock”, I wrote about gay cartoonist Brad Parker (who also worked under the jokey name Ace Moorcock), especially in his 1988 book Oh Boy! — but without posting any X-rated images, an omission I’ve now remedied with a posting (about three strips from his series “Bigdicked Cocksucking Surfers”) on AZBlogX (more on this below).
But then readers of my earlier posting wondered what had happened to Brad Parker. Where was he now? The answer is: on the Big Island of Hawaii, creating Tiki Art — a genre of pop art, though Parker prefers the label Low Brow Art (for works that might be categorized as folk or outsider art, except that it’s created knowingly) — under the professional name Tiki Shark. More on the Tiki phenomenon and Tiki Shark below, but for a taste, here’s Parker’s Red Tiki Lounge:

The news for (big) penises
May 1, 2016(The header tells the story. The X-rated images are on AZBlogX today, in “It was a dark and stocky cock” (here) and “Patrick Fillion” (here). But there will be some plain talk in this posting, so it’s not for kids or the sexually modest.)
The first AZBlogX posting has an item of male photography, of a man with an excellent furry body and a thick, stocky cock. The second is about gay cartoonist Patrick Fillion and his very X-rated one-panel art/illustrations featuring truly outsized cocks (plus ample butts and a variety of sexual acts). For this blog: a cropped photo that lets us focus on the model’s tattoo; and a drawing by Fillion of himself with his cast of characters from the 2005 book Heroes:

Mint, Flint, Slate, Brick
May 1, 2016From Daily Jocks on the 28th, an Obviously AnatoMAX man, with a caption of mine:
He scrutinized himself pitilessly in the
Mirror, as a piece of meat to feed the
Hot guys – Was his hairstyle
Trendy enough? Would his long slim torso
Excite them, or did they need
Big muscles? Was the Hipster Trunk in Mint
Too faggy, or would that be a good thing? Would the
Humongous pouch make them laugh or
Get them hard?
He’s in a Hipster Trunk, which comes in Mint, Flint Blue, Slate, and Red Brick.
Meatmen 1989-2004
April 29, 2016(The X-rated images are on AZBlogX, here, but let’s face it, the posting is about comics depicting man-man sex, and there’s plenty of explicit talk, so this is not for kids or the sexually modest.)
In between the Gay Comics compendium of 1989 and the recent Strippers compendium (2009), both discussed on this blog, there was 1989-2004, filled for comic-fan gay men by 26 issues of the book series Meatmen. Today, issue #1. Front and back:

Gay comics in the 21st century
April 28, 2016(No actually X-rated images, but still not for kids or the sexually modest.)
A few days ago I looked at gay comics in the 70s and 80s, especially as represented in Robert Triptow’s volume:
The series [Gay Comix, begun by Howard Cruse] was continued by Robert Triptow, who edited the 1989 compilation Gay Comics: The Smartest and Wittiest Gay and Lesbian Cartoonists, with a broad coverage of relatively conventional single-panel and strip cartoons focused on humor or story-telling (leaving out material that is mostly visual and material that’s significantly lubricious.)
(So Tom of Finland doesn’t make this volume.) The contributors are both male and female, but all are North Americans writing in English.
Now comes the 2009 volume Stripped: A Story of Gay Comics, by Markus Pfalzgraf, with 13 cartoonists featured, plus a series of essays (in parallel English and German) on aspects of gay cartooning. The artists are all male, working in English, German, Dutch, and Japanese, and the subject matter is much more varied than in the earlier volume, taking in bondage, S&M, and other kinks, and indulging in piles of mansex for its own sake:

Sex comics: the kinksters
April 27, 2016Continuing the sex comic theme from earlier postings (for instance, here and here), I turn to the raunchier side of the genre, where sexual fetishes play a significant role. As in gay porn films, this is the territory of serious leather, BDSM, watersports, domination and submission, etc. I won’t be actually depicting any of this here, but still the topic is not for kids or the sexually modest.
Four practitioners: Josman, who does some simple boy-on-boy sex, but specializes in intergenerational sex, with a lot of piss; the major daddy of rough graphic sex, Tom of Finland (Touko Laaksonen); and two seriously nasty dudes, Etienne (Dom Orejudos) and The Hun (Bill Schmeling). All have appeared on this blog or AZBlogX before.
Dyke comics
April 26, 2016Continuing my series of postings on sexuality and sex in the comics — here, here, and here, almost exclusively focused on men — I turn now to some dyke comics that I happened to have around the house. The books are all from the 90s (an accident of my book-collecting history); just to note that dyke comics are alive and well, and it’s not all Alison Bechdel (though she’s a national treasure).
Sex comics: Brad Parker / Ace Moorcock
April 25, 2016Gay comics — and more generally, LGBT comics of all sorts — are not necessarily about having sex, but since being LGBT is itself about sexual identity, orientation, and desire, sexual relations figure directly or indirectly in such comics: coming out (in several senses), partnerships and their pleasures and travails, coping with the same-sex sexual marketplace, life in sexual subcultures: all these matters, and more, are central to cartoons and comics in LGBT worlds, though many of these works are not pointedly about sex, celebrating it for its own sake or seeking to arouse the reader sexually. But some are: they’re sex comics, sometimes explicitly labeled as such.
So we come to Brad Parker’s 1988 book Oh Boy!, subtitled Sex Comics:

Plenty of steamy content.
