Manimal Theater: Heavier than . . .

"Heavier than . . .", a play by Steve Yockey, is a mythical mash-up concerning a relationship between Asterius, the minotaur, and Icarus, he of melting wings fame. Icarus is obsessed with Asterius and, by the looks of the horned fellow, who can blame him for his attraction?

Nick Ballard as the minotaur, Asterius.

The play was produced at Theater @ Boston Court this past summer with the eye-catching Nick Ballard playing Asterius.

Perhaps, there will be future mountings of this work and some of us will get the chance to take in a hunky minotaur stomping around stage. Of course, there's no guarantee that future Asterius portrayers will be as fetching as Mr. Ballard.

Cartoon Masculinity Dept.: Mako Finn

 

Coming in early 2012 from Class Comics is Mako Finn. Since it appears that Space Cadet #2 is lost in space forever, we'll be able to make do with Mr. Finn and his boldly bodacious bod.

Awesome Art Dept.: Mer Heaven

From the "Brave New World" series by the preternaturally-gifted photomanipulator, Priapus of Milet. 

I have discovered, thanks to loyal reader Leigh Eel, that Priapea, the blog of Priapus of Milet that features much of his great work, is to be closed at month's end. This is very disheartening news.

I suggest if you want to view some of the best homoerotic images online you hurry over to Priapea before the doors are closed.

I wish the best of luck to Priapus and THANK YOU!

Manimal Animation Dept.: Simpsons' Satan

Here are a couple of shots of how the artists working on The Simpsons imagine Satan looks. Of course, he is way sexier than their design for God. Both images come from the most recent Simpsons' annual Halloween show that can currently be viewed on Hulu.

Happy Hallowed Weenies!

Manimal TF Dept.: Ben 10's Stud Forms

I remember watching an episode of the animated series "Ben 10" when it first showed up and not thinking much of it. Obviously, over the course of its run on Cartoon Network the producers decided to add some meat to the show's bones and newer versions "Alien Force" and "Ultimate Alien" have appeared. The alien concept enables Ben to transform into some genuinely interesting manimals. 

Each new version does what most things in this insanely commercial culture do: escalate in size and power. I fully expect the next generation will be "Ultimate Super Big Gulp Alien Force X". I don't know that these hyper-expanded forms of the Alien Force crew make the show any more watchable for most guys, but I find it interesting that in past episodes of the show Ben has become some very hard-ass characters including a tigerman named "Rath" who comes off like a cross between Tony The Tiger and Hulk Hogan and is a damn sight sexier than either of them. 

Then there is the reptilian "Humungousaur" . . . 

 . . . and a big red brute, "Fourarms", who naturally is very adept with his four huge arms.

If this show had been on when I was 7 years old and thought ten year olds were way more "with it" than I was I probably would have been a big fan. Now I just imagine how cool this concept would be if it was "Ben 25" and he was a really sexy gay morpher.
