What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

I love Hate

You know me folks. I have a problem with the apparent materialism found in so much of the merchandising found in comics. All the crap from DC Direct and those busts that people waste their money on just sicken me. It's not just superhero comics that catch my ire, either. I'm well aware of the Little Enid dolls and Rusty Brown lunch boxes and find them to be useless garbage as well.

Then...then...oh man...then I saw this. I didn't think of what a waste of money it is (even though it is) nor did I want to scoff at anyone who would want to buy it (even though they deserve it). All I could think of was how in God's name I could make $35 so I could get that little guy. I thought of how he would look so cool on my desk or on one of my bookshelves. I'm not proud of it, it's just a fact.

I am weak. So very, very weak.
