OT: Any of you read/buy comic books?
« on: July 07, 2004, 11:13:43 AM »
I did when I was a kid. Recently visited a few comic book stores, and now I'm totally hooked and I'm spending some serious jack on collecting.  Any of you guys collect?

No but here's hoping you entertain us here by morphing into the pathetic Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.

:lol:

That's a great character.  

I don't know who inspired who but those guys that ran the record store that only sold music on vinyl (sic?).  They were such snobs about such worthless info, it was hillarous!  What was the name of that movie?  Hi-Fidelity?

:rofl:



Yeah, Hi Fidelity was the film.  It's a book by Nick Hornby.   The record store clerks were great.  Comic Book Guy's appearance is so accurate it's frightening.

I used to as well, but haven't in a few years.
