Hot Men of Children's Literature: Part 8 in a series

There are worse fates in life than panning through a collection of 17,200 Google images of Neil Gaiman in the hopes of finding the hottest one. This is my pick, though you are completely within your rights to disagree. My husband thinks he's a poseur. My mother likes his blog. And I think he's so very very cute.

Now the problem with proclaiming Neil Gaiman to be hot is that it invites all sorts of criticism. You have the people who look down their noses at the graphic novel genre and the people who think GNs are fine but that Gaiman should hardly be consider a children's book writer. Or you have people who rather dislike him because he plays off his own image so often in photographs. In spite of all this, I proclaim him much with the hotness.

The advantage of never having been contacted by one of my Hot Men is that now I can organize the links to their postings on the right side of this screen in order of hotness. You will note that now Kadir Nelson will be number one with a juggling of the other hot men as appropriate.

What a lovely job I have.
