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.

Take me to your comic books and baseball cards

From Graeme and Rich Johnston comes one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Fast forward to 16:20 into this BBC show to see a report on Johnston's latest comic project but don't forget to see the segment afterward. I loved how the ever so demur British chat show host asked so delicately "they're not all like that character on The Simpsons are they?" If I could get that as a .wav sound to go off whenever someone visits this blog I'd be happy. Considering it was Pat Mills who was being interviewed, the man behind one of the most gleefully spiteful comics ever, I was surprised he was so reserved and thoughtful throughout. It would be cool if he brought that cynicism to this show but instead we got a well-spoken gentleman speaking articulately and intelligently about comics to an audience who knows little of the medium. Darn.
