Wow, what is wrong with people?
I
heard the following today from a pair of 20-somethings walking
by the shop: Girl:
"You don't like comic books?"
Boy Idiot: "Shff, when I was like, 12!"
It
is sad to think that comics are still perceived as childrens
books what with the vast majority being written for &
by adults. How can we possibly change this perception? Will
it ever change? Email
us with your thoughts & comments. We just might post
'em.
