Sketched from mid ‘80’s
news-stand slick-mag porn photo.
Mortality and aging is much
on my mind these days, especially since the death of my (life-mate? Husband?
Spouse? Ex-best-friend?) and my recent stroke. Most of the photos I work off in
“The Daily Dick” were published in the mid 80’s. almost 40 years ago. I wonder
what these men look like now, or even if they’re still alive.
I recently had the
opportunity to sketch Mickey Squires,

who life-modeled at the Tom of Finland
headquarters in Echo Park, Los Angeles, California. This man was featured in
the first Gayporn skinrag I ever bought, in 1983. These days, he’s going for
the “daddy” thing, kind of. He jokingly apologized for his “bhudda belly”. No
apology was required, as far as I was concerned. I hope I look as good when I’m
that age as he does. Shit, I wish I looked that good now. Better get to work.
Speaking
of age, the dick depicted on October 2nd belongs to a 73 year old
man. Still works, as my sore anus will attest.
