I received an email from our friend The Blot yesterday. He has added another sketch to his Booster Gold sketchbook. In his own words:

I wanted to share with you the newest sketch in my Booster Gold sketchbook by Jock. I got it at MondoCon in Austin last October. Jock was slammed, but snuck in this quick sketch for me right before I left time. Finally getting around to taking a picture of it. Feel free to post it if you'd like.

Yes, I'd like! As always, you can see this and all the other sketches in The Blot's sketchbook in much larger detail at Flickr.com. Thanks, Blot!

To my great surprise, when looking back at the year that was here at Boosterrific.com, none of the posts that generated any significant "heat" had anything to do with Convergence or Bat-Mite or anything DC Comics was doing. In fact, the number one most visited post was this one featuring cosplayer Muyra that ran in February.

Proving once again that no one can resist a good looking guy in gold tights. You can find more of Muyra's work on Facebook.

Happy New Year, everyone.

My occasional alternate history posts never generate any feedback, so I'm amazed that the second most visited post on the year was this one from August 25.

It was on this day in 1875 that Captain Matthew Webb became the first person recorded to successfully swim the English Channel unaided.

Webb's feat was a carefully crafted bit of public showmanship. That the crossing had never been done and was thought impossible fueled the public's interest. The accomplishment made Webb famous and rich.

Hmm. Bold athletic achievements motivated by gambling? Instant and eternal fame? It sounds like this is just the sort of event that would inspire a certain time-traveling tourist we know.

I'm guessing Matt Webb has a big family who like to Google his name.

The top post of 2015 will be revealed Tomorrow.

The time has come to pad some blog posts with a look back at the year that was.

The post coming in at number three on the countdown of most visited posts on Boosterrific.com in 2015 was this cosplay suggestion by Patrick Dean that ran in May.

Dean originally posted the image to his site, My Half Assed Cosplay Ideas.

The countdown continues on Wednesday.

Dressing up like Booster Gold and hanging out with your best friend sure looks like a lot of fun.
