A: No, but I would agree with your mother about the “strange visitor” part. B: Yes, and I blame punk for killing off glam-rock in the late 70’s. C: No, because we don’t have a comic book store in my town. D: No, I have never had a subscription to the newspaper, I have always taken them out of the neighbors recycling box when the put it out for pick up. E: Yes, but I don’t want to talk about it, I’m already being investigated by Family Services!
How about this? You’re a real fan if you buy two of every comic book issued; one for reading right now, and the other to save in mint condition for the future, to sell if you need money then.
The only comic book I ever read was Hot Rod Cartoons. Published from 1964-74. I have all of them, bagged and boarded, 61 issues. Not sure what I’ll do with them. I’ve been a comic strip fan since about age 5, every morning starts with GoComics and another, lesser site that has a few essentials.
At least one comic book says that you can read too many: Flaming Carrot was a regular person until he read 5,000 comic books in one sitting, which permanently affected his mind and he began appearing as The Flaming Carrot. Later he gathered the group “The Mystery Men” — second-tier heroes with mediocre powers, who still solved crimes.

I can’t tell if I’m weak and dizzy because of lack of food, or from staring at Power Girl. Come to think of it, those aren’t mutually exclusive.

I don’t do any of those things, but I have been reading around 100 GoComics every day for more than a decade.

F. You flunked ‘Human Anatomy’ class, because you relied on the comic strip portrayals of male and female musculature and bone structure.

G: You read all of the comics. Even the ones that think they’re funny, but they’re not.

I learn more about life from reading the comics (and the comments) than I do from any other source.

You have to travel to the comics store to get the comics.

I’m guessing you’ve read too many comic books when you start re-dialoging other’s comic books. :)
