In 1968 Tom of Finland created "Kake" as an ongoing character in his panel stories. This dark-haired, mustached leatherman often wore a tight white T-shirt bearing the motto Fucker. This hyper-masculine Johnny Appleseed traveled the world on his motorcycle to spread the seeds of liberated, mutually satisfying, ecstatically explicit gay sex. Kake came to be known as the gay clone look of the 1970s. Tom of Finland: The Complete Kake Comics collects all of these stories in one volume. Return with Kake to the days when men were men, sex was carefree, and everyone wore a big thick mustache.
