"Sir Yes Sir" JoJo Mendoco 2011
This good boy is presenting himself in slave position number one. A ginger otter, expect him to return demonstrating positions two through five. He needs a name. Any ideas? He wears the number 15. A sporting lad perhaps. Or could it be a reference to The 15 Association? From JoJo Mendoco, 2011.

Fukya! JoJo Mendoco c2011
“Let’s enjoy G-Men’s way.” New from JoJo Mendoco. This one is directly inspired by the Japanese G-Men series. Mainly manga for gay men, G-Men focuses on Bara (Bears), Gaten-Kai (Blue-Collar Men) and other masculine types. G-Men features photographic material as well as cartoons and personal ads. Mangaka (manga artist) Gengorah Tagame is a driving force behind this hot series. More on him soon. Very visual in its impact, no reading knowledge of Japanese is needed to enjoy G-Men’s way!
