Why do you hate the X-men?
Why do you judge Tom Belands comics if you can't make your own?
Why do you joke about our beloved Grant?

As one who uses the term comix on occasion, I feel I need to toss in "MY" rationale. (Or know that each of you miscreants are casting aspersions at me for any reason OTHER than my crazed ways. ;-) Seriously, the reason that <b><i>I</i></b> type comiX at the end of my tagname is that, when I was seriously thinking of turning my love of the medium (and my gazillion back-issues) into a comic-shoppe (yes, I spell it shoppe! Deal with it.) I wanted to let my clientele know that there's MORE to comics than JUST the books. The ancillary products, the new comics, the old comics, the indies, the underground comix (they who started the whole "x" comix thing to begin with) and ...everything. That it was a MIX of stuff. Get it? CoMIX As for the SanctumSanctorum part? Well, my love of Dr. Strange was at the forefront of that, but for my publick (no. I don't really spell it publick. Just messing with you there) message it was to take the actual definition of the term (a deeply secret and hallowed place) for my feeling of how many comic fans feel about the place they store their comics stash - or where they can score their weekly swag - or both. I've been lucky enough to have a whole room dedicated to my collection (not just in our new house, but in our previous apartments as well. Yes, my wife is great - although she has lived to regret it. haha). Anyway, I wanted to put forth that feeling of "understanding" that "I get it". Comics are special. We, as a readership, are special (in as much as we, unlike many, can actually grasp the nuance and scope of the medium - as well as being able to decipher the panels and language used) and, while not trying to segregate ourselves into a little cult or cloister of geeks (actively seeking to broaden the customer base WITH the aforementioned "MIX"), give the clientele the feeling that they have found "the holy of holies" for their comic needs. But that's just MY reasoning. I'm guessing what that other guy (at TIME) has going on is another thing entirely. Well, it's Christmas Eve and my free-time window has just closed. Merry Christmas to all! ~P~ P_TOR Guys,

Entirely because of frequent contributor Funky Green Jerusalem. And I’ve been sort of not that interested in art comics lately, even ones that aren’t Victorian Kiddie Porn. I’ll probably buy it eventually, too. If I can overcome my prejudice of Australians. So it’s iffy." Well Brad, I'd like to be able to say I hate America, Americans and everything that nation apparently stands for because of you, but I can't. The show Blossom holds that card. I hadn't even hit the full effects of puberty yet, and already I was having to deal with being sexuall attracted to, yet utterly repulsed by a person. I was too young! TOO YOUNG! I know why I hate you though. There are two main reasons. Firstly, that website where some guy made up a course about comics, but instead of having any must read works, the course consisted of books Wizard likes. I spent 90seconds on that site, and I'm never getting them back. Secondly, when this place was on blogspot, there used to be some guy who always posted in the comments sections of your posts about how unfunny you were, and how he thought you should be fired. Sometimes he was the only poster. God that used to make me laugh. Anyway, the real question is - why can't Australians draw straight lines - or even close off drawings? Eddie Campbell, Ashley Wood and Ben Templesmith - none of them draw straight lines, and often they just do impressionistic drawings? Is it because that Australia's art style? Is it their laconic Aussie attitudes? Is it because they were drunk? I don't know, I work in television, so art isn't my forte. "Why I haven’t read it yet- I hate Australian people.
