I remember growing up and watching re-runs of old American Westerns … shows that were sanctioned by my ultra religious parents … and I grew to love the all macho version of the American cowboy.   Little did I know that this fascination with macho cowboy men was the first indications of my true self, the first signs that I was attracted to manly men.   It wasn’t until I reached my twenties and was able to look back on those early childhood days that I was able to credit that period, and the love of watching old American Westerns as my first identification with being gay.

One thing I never saw in these old westerns was anything close to someone who appeared to be gay…or even remotely attracted to other men… usually the more purient interests were portrayed by men seeking the pleasure of women in seedy flop house hotels usually upstairs above the local tavern.    As I have become more informed of the real world and able to research history, I have found that gay men were around almost as far back as the history of man is recorded.    They had to be around in the period of the wild American west too, right?

So, being the ‘creative force’ (hahahaha) behind the SpunkToons.com website, I have taken liberties on more than one occasion with rewriting history.   In this case, I asked our gay comic artist to create some new scenes from the old wild American west and this time to include some gay action in it!

This gay comic called “The Stranger’s Pistol” is one of the episodes we had commissioned in our history rewrite of this famous American period.   You can see all of this comic in our SpunkToons members area.   Check out other gay comics in our SpunkToons members area  Join SpunkToons now.

Comic-Con has just announced that early bird hotel bookings are now being accepted for this year’s Comic-Con in July (July 11 – 15).  There are a limited number of hotel rooms available at a pre-booking discount rate so get over to the Comic-Con booking agent’s website and reserve your room now.    You have to prepay the room and there is no refunds if you change your mind so be sure you are going to attend before you book the rooms!   These rooms are out in the Mission Valley area (a little outside the city center on the North East side) and there will be shuttle service to and from the downtown convention center (limited service hours on July 11 for previewers and then 24 hours a day until the 15th).

While I was reading through the Comic-Con site, I noticed a little banner in the lower right sidebar that information on 2012 show badges will be made available sometime soon and that there will be NO onsite registration at the convention!  They started this practice of pre-registration only in 2008 and it does not seem to have cut into their attendance numbers.   As a matter of fact, they sold all 2011 show badges in a single day!   You must also register on the Comic-Con website and obtain a member ID before you will be allowed to register.   You must have a 2011 badge to pre-register for the 2012 Comic-Con, an obvious nod toward their most loyal attendees, and the rest of you who didn’t make it in 2011, well, you have to wait until the open online registration starts…which will be announced soon.

Be sure to get over to Comic-Con’s website and get your membership ID now so that when registration does open you will be able to get your foot in the door of the convention!

The Gay Comics website shows plenty of what toon lovers want to see – guys kissing, fucking, eating ass and sucking dick, not to mention faces dripping with cum. There aren’t a lot of specifics on the tour, but you can get an idea of what the site has to offer.  There’s some bondage and BDSM, interracial ass pounding, muscle men, outdoor sex, daddies and group action. I like the variety I’m seeing, so join me as I log in and check out the member area.

Gay Comics is easy to navigate, offers 228 galleries and 8 videos, but while that may not seem like much, they’re over 30 minutes each, and at least 2 are around an hour long.  There are no dates on the updates, and the last time an update was mentioned was Christmas eve, 2011, which is a little over a month ago.

The videos are downloadable WMV’s shown at 640×480 with bitrates around 1.3 Mbps. Quality is pretty good, although you will notice a loss of sharpness if you enlarge the videos to full screen.  Sound is good, too, and so is the animation. In fact, the animation is definitely some of the better stuff I’ve seen in toon sites, professional and appealing.  And very hot.

There’s a variety of artistic styles in the PICTURES section.  I found Anime, western toons, colored sketches and more.  Art quality varies, too – some is quite well done, some offers less in the way of shadows, color and realism, and some is fairly primitive but gets the job done. Pictures vary from around 584×826 to 1000×700, and the pics are offered at good quality – no blurring, muddy colors or other issues here.  Some of the sets are more like comic books, with multiple frames on each page, but I didn’t find many with dialog. Still, there’s plenty of ass-pumping gay sex in vivid color

Gay Comics offers plenty of variety from horny college boys in action to office sex. There are a few Santa sets (and isn’t Jolly Old Nick the ultimate bear?), bald headed daddies sucking cock, bodybuilders, interracial toon action and more – lots more. I didn’t run into a lot of super heroes or many impossibly massive dicks, but you will find a military men in some kinky stuff, a mechanic getting down and dirty, and some group sex.  You’ll also find jedis getting it on, ninjas and trannies. Not sure trannies really fits here, but there’s a fair amount of these horny chicks with dicks with big tits and cocks.

Does this site have issues? Well, there’s no way to know how often updates occur, and it doesn’t seem to be that often at a glance. I would have liked to browse by category as the search feature didn’t work that well – I saw plenty of uncut toon cocks, but a search for “uncut” didn’t get any results.  But other than these things, there’s not a lot to complain about.

Gay Comics doesn’t focus on comics, but they do deliver plenty of horny toons in action, including Anime and western styles.  Offering 228 galleries and 8 long, downloadable videos, there’s a lot more to see here than in most toon sites. Where things get sticky is that lack of update info and possibly infrequent updates. For the price, I’d like to see regular updates and perhaps a bonus site or some feeds. Still, if you love watching cartoon cocks getting sucked, and hardcore toon sex, I’d suggest you check out the Gay Comics website and see more of what they have to offer.

Art by Gengoroh Tagame.

Gengoroh Tagame, one of the undisputed masters of bara art turns 48 today!  This year of the dragon, 2012, also marks Gengoroh Tagame’s 30th year as a manga artist!  What a milestone!  Happy Birthday and happy 30th anniversary as a manga artist from us here at SpunkToons.com.

I think I must be attracted to Ares!   I was just looking through some of our Greek Gods and Superheros artwork archives and I cam across this series in the Horny Deities section of our SpunkToons members area.   I got a chuckle out of it because it puts Ares, a Greek God feared by so many and known as a fierce warrior, in such a compromised and submissive position with one mortal’s cock up his ass and his mouth hungrily devouring the cum dripping cock of another mortal!

Then I realized that the last time I was scanning through our Gods and Superheros archives, I also was struck by a pinup of Ares sucking the cock of a vanquished foe in a dungeon prison.    There are hundreds of pinups of Gods and Superheros in our archives yet I seem to gravitate toward the ones featuring this fearsome warrior in sexually submissive scenes.    Maybe it means I like to see strong men subdued sexually, or perhaps I have desires for a man that can be strong and fearless but at the same time have a tender and submissive side.   Hmmm.   Have to think about that one for a bit.

Anyway, enjoy this pinup of Ares in yet another submissive sexual pinup and be sure to check out all the Gods and Superheros in our SpunkToons members area.

Have you ever had fantasies of having sex in the fitting room of your local department store?  Maybe you had the hots for that sexy as hell sales clerk that you had been flirting with on the sales floor and wished he would sneak into your fitting room with you?   One of our favorite SpunkToons artists captured this fantasy very aptly in this new gay cartoon wallpaper just added to our free gay computer wallpaper downloads page.  In this artist’s version of this sexual fantasy, the customer was so horny that the simple act of the sales clerk taking off his pants caused his cock to squirt a ball sack full of hot sticky cum all over the dressing room floor!

Sometime in 2010, Archie Comics revived their  Life with Archie comic book which had been shelved in 1991.   This series featured Archie in facets of his life that were a bit more adventurous than the typical Archies Tales comics and was always a bit edgier than the regular Archic comic stories.

When the series started publishing again in 2010, the publishers wanted to keep with the more socially progressive and more socially relvant side of the comic but have it represent the world in which we all live today.    Can’t imagine they could use social “norms” of 1991 in a new comic today and have it read, much less relevant to what is going on in the world today.

One of the riskiest moves the Archie Comics company made was introducing a gay character, Kevin Keller, who was originally only slated to make a brief appearance but who ended up becoming a very popular character in the Life with Archie comic series.   It was quite controversial at the time to put a gay character in such a main stream comic, and many predicted it’s demise, but according to the co-chief executive of Archie Comics, Jon Goldwater (the founder’s son), there have been less than 10 cancelled subscriptions resulting from the introduction of Kevin Keller since the issue in which he was introduced.

As Kevin’s popularity among Life with Archie readers grew, Archie Comics decided to give Kevin Keller his own monthly series..very similar to what was done for Jugghead, Betty, and Veronica.

Now in it’s 16th issue since being republished in 2010, Life with Archie takes another bold move and features Kevin Keller in the first ever gay marriage in Archie Comics history.    Kevin will marry the African-American doctor, Clay Walker, that patched him up when he was wounded as a soldier in Iraq.

Talk about progressive comics!   Bravo to the Archie Comics company for daring to take this very pro-gay stance!

Be sure to get a copy of Kevin Kellers historic wedding issue at the Archie Comics website.

Over the recent holiday period I’ve been researching the origins of Bara and Yaoi art, reading a ton of Wikipedia articles and following links to an uncountable number of websites and blogs trying to get a good grasp on the origins,  history and timeline of Bara and Yaoi art.  I’ve gone back in history to the early 1600′s in ancient Japan when woodblock printing, Ukiyo-e, was one of the most sought after forms of art.

Like most almost every art medium in our history, there are always those artists that will use their talents to explore sexuality and Ukiyo-e is no exception.   In Ukiyo-e art, Shunga is the niche that focused on the depictions of erotic scenes.

While most of the Shunga artists focused on female-male sexual relationships there were those that would venture into scene depictions of men having sex with men, women with women (even more rare) and men having sex with younger men, very much similar to what would later become the overriding concept behind Yaoi art.

In this print by Kitagawa Utamaro, a younger man in the role of a temple page has been made available to one of the monks who is pursuing the “Way of the Youth”, in what appears to be a common practice of the day.   This was common not only in temples among monks and their pages, but also among the samurai class of famed warriors.

As I continue to read and follow history back I can’t help but wonder if the Shunga niche within the Ukiyo-e art style was one of the earliest forms of what today we call Yaoi.

What do you think?  Is Shunga one of the earliest forms of Yaoi or does it go back further than this?   I’m researching on to find out more.  If you know of any references to male on male art that predates the 17th century, please let me know in the comments below.

Remember the first time you had any type of gay sexual interaction with another guy? If you are like me, it was something you had been fantasizing about for quite some time, wondering what it would feel like. Wondering what touching another guy was like. Wanting to know what it felt like to have another guy touch your body, to suck your cock. Desiring to feel the heat of your skin touching the body of another man.

And then comes the actual time when you were presented with the opportunity to explore the fantasies you had been having. And maybe like me, you were scared shitless!

This Yaoi set of pinups by one of the contributing artists for SpunkToons members has captured this first time lust and the fear experienced during a first gay sexual experience. I love the look of mischief in the eyes of the gay boy pictured here that is showing his gay sex virgin what it feels like to be touched by another guy. The rest of the first time gay experience set is in our members area, but I thought you would at least enjoy this pinup and perhaps it might bring back some of your own memories of when you lost your gay sex cherry.

Check out the rest of this pinup set in the members area of SpunkToons now.
