Posted by Lou. The time is 11:52am here in London, UK.
Here is my list of the elite geek-hot - men who I wouldn't recognise if I passed them in the street, but who through their talent have me ready to drop everything and come running if beckoned:
1. Ryan North. T-Rex toonist. HOT.
2. Dave Eggers. Writer/ editor. HOT.
3. Michael Chabon. Novelist. HOT.
4. Seth MacFarlane. He of The Family Guy. HOT.
5. Charlie Kaufman. Screenwriter. HOT.
PS could somebody do a psychological study on the fact that by coincidence 3 of these guys look like each other and like every guy I've ever had a crush on even though I didn't know what they looked like at the time of crushing?
You forgot to add 'screenwriter' to Dave Egger's credentials. He's whipped up Where The Wild Things Are with Spike Jonze, remember??
I would only add to this list (selected with the art of a connesieur) one more person:
6. Brian K Vaughn. Comic book writer/screenwriter. HOT.
He created some of my all-time fave graphic novels, Runaways and Y: The Last Man.
Also, Michael Chabon asked him to write the actual comics of the comics created by Cavalier & Klay in 'The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier & Klay'.
ALSO, he has written for Lost (I'm not sure what seasons, sorry Lou).
Am having to imagine a wig of unruly and un-hair-producted brown hair onto his bald head.
