What Do You Get The Man Who Has Everything?
I see that "breakfast cereal" was the unpopular choice. Superman sold Kellogg's Frosted Flakes in the 1950s. Anything Superman could do, Booster Gold could do better!
Last week's poll question: Which category of product is Booster Gold best qualified to promote? (43 votes)
Christmas is less than a week away, and I for one am glad that I don't have to buy a present for Booster Gold. The man has his own robotic sidekick and a car named after him and. What can you give him that he doesn't already have?

Don't Drink and Drive, Do Drink and Draw
Drink'N'Draw Paris is a group of Parisian artists who regularly get together with drinks and pencils. Not too long ago, they turned their attention to Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, and they posted their resulting sketches on their blogspot website, Drink'N'Draw Paris.
The above sketch is by Soul. Fellow artist Nikooz recorded his drawing and posted it on YouTube.
You'll find even more sketches on their site, DnDParis.blogspot.com.

Happy Birthday, Steve Mattsson
It's been nearly 6 months since Booster Gold appeared in a DCnU-continuity book. This isn't the first time Booster has clocked out for an extended period. Back in 1997, Booster made only 2 DCU appearances, one of which was in Superboy and the Ravers #8.
Blue Beetle and Booster Gold made a cameo appearance tring to pick up one of the Ravers in Guy Gardner's bar, Warrior's. It may not have been their finest moment, but it was certainly one of their funniest.
This classic Blue and Gold moment was brought to you in part by Ravers co-writer Steve Mattsson, who celebrates his 54th birthday today. Mattsson made a name for himself in the 1980s with Boris the Bear, a title known for its scything commentary of contemporary pop-culture trends. That's a good pedigree for someone writing for Booster Gold!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Mattsson. Celebrate with a "Loose Cannon" on us!

It's a Must
This time last year, Kumogorochan was working on an art advent calendar for Christmas. His entry for December 11 was our favorite hero, Booster Gold.
For those of you who don't know (I sure didn't), the "It's a Must" is a reference to a popular Swedish soft drink popular around Christmas. You can see that bottle in this commercial.
Even in Sweden, Booster plays product pitchman!
You can find more of Kumagorochan's advent calendars (and other work) on DeviantArt.com.
