I like comics. I like comics a lot. That's just something you will have to accept. I read comics, I draw comics and during the day things will happen that will remind me of stuff I've seen in comics. My tastes lean towards the more "alternative" or "underground" types (the books you see under the heading "Graphic Novels"). I'm not going to launch into a list of my favorite cartoonists because there are too many. Just ask. I like the occasional Superhero stuff too, but I'm not a completist who knows every storyline by heart, so don't dismiss me if I don't know the secret identity of Peter Parker's long lost niece, ok fanboy? I also like Manga and Anime (some, that is) and weird animation.
I love traveling, bookstores, dark and smoky coffeehouses, unique little art galleries, listening to bands, big cities, small towns and the countryside. I don't like suburbs.

Last night, I got some pizza delivered. When I went to the door, I forgot that I was wearing my old PJs and looked like a mess. When I opened the door, the pizza guy immediately asked "bad break up?" I didn't have a bad break up, but nodded anyway. The pizza guy then proceeded to give me a hug, and a discount. I will be doing this more often.
Yesterday while walking around SaFe, I walked by a children's playground. There was a fence around it with a sign stating, "No adults allowed unless accompanied by a child." I found this very acceptable. That one Dude.
