Avatar of the Week: sosuperduper

This installment of Avatar of the Week is a round up of cartoon hero avatars.

First up is AsA3DollarBill, who is (as you might have guessed by the moniker) a gay person. Beyond that, 3Dollars's details are sketchy. All we get from his/her profile is that he/she lives somewhere in the U.S. and will be celebrating a thirtieth birthday this year. From the avatar pic itself we can also reasonably deduce 3Dollar has a thing for power women. (I believe this is Wonder Woman, but the red pant suit is throwing me off a bit. Can anyone positively identify?)

One last thing we know about 3Dollar - he/she has an eagle eye for continuity errors and recently called me out for misidentifying one in my most recent Brothers & Sisters recap.

Second up is tsalagiguy, a 28 year old teacher and activist who says he's "happily in love with my boyfriend of a little over a year.”

His profile lists his favorite TV character as “Bree’s kid on Desperate Housewives.” I think he’s talking about Andrew Van de Kamp (Shawn Pyfrom), who I like as well but hate that lately he’s stuck sweeping floors at the Scavo pizza parlor. But I digress.

Back to tsaligiguy – love the avatar pic, though if I had to guess I’d say he and his boyfriend are into some serious nipple play.

This week’s winner is sosuperduper, a.k.a. Brian Anderson, who lives in San Francisco “with his sexy boy toy of 6 years." He gets the nod this week because not only does he have a cartoon superhero avatar – but he drew it himself! Brian has recently published an independent comic called So Super Duper:

"So Super Duper is a cute tale about an everyman superhero named Psyche, who isn't quite as super as his powerful teammates. He slowly learns that his lack of super abilities isn't the only thing that makes him different, as everyone (but himself), knows that he is totally gay!"

That's it for this week. Congrats to runners up AsA3DollarBill & tsalagiguy, and a special tip of the hat to winner sosuperduper!
