Gentlemen's Quarterly magazine has dropped its annual "Men Of The Year" list, which recognizes/acknowledges/verifies the "coolness" factor of select cats in the fields of music, sports, film, comedy, etc.

The honour of "Rookie Of The Year" went to the incomparable Mr. Frank Ocean, who caught everyone off-guard with the sheer genius of his debut mixtape nostalgia, ULTRA. It is, hands down, my favourite record of 2011, and I broke down the impact that Ocean has had on the music scene this year in a previous post.

P&B would like to offer our congrats to Frank for this most prestigious award (lol), as it's great when a publication, or organization (or whomever) gets it right when dishing out recognition for dope shit.

Other 2011 winners include Jay-Z, Steve Carell, Michael Fassbender, Novak Djokovic, Mila Kunis (I know she's not a guy, but her sheer hotness cannot go unrecognized!), and Derrick Rose.

Axing his Way into Your Flute Playing Dinosaur Heart

I'm over 30 years old and I enjoy comics. It reminds me of being a kid again. It reminds me of waiting for that new issue at the news stand. It reminds me of begging my mom for some dough so that I can buy and read part 5 of the Torment storyline from Todd McFalane's Spider-Man.

So why the return to the books? To start, I can afford to buy issues even though they cost close to 5 bucks (in my day, they were 2 to 3). The art looks great with the use of digital color and the story lines are dope. The Walking Dead is personal fave (I read the whole series up to the current issue before the AMC series started). I recently discovered a ridiculously hilarious webcomic through Boing Boing called Axe Cop. The premise: a cop with an axe doing what he does best...chopping heads and saving the world.
