Comic Books
For a guy who hasn't bought a comic book in his life, I seem to spend a lot of time lately in comic book stores.
The last two Wednesdays I have found myself on a Lunch Outing to the Comic Book Store with the guys from the office. (Come on, everybody knows that new titles come out on Wednesday.)
I don't really have any fresh observations on what the inside of a comic book store is like - The Simpsons pretty much nails it - but I will say this: Comics ain't cheap - seems like your normal run-of-the-mill Super Abled Being Doing Heroic Things In Tight Clothes will run you around $3 these days.
In other comics news, a few weeks ago I was looking for information on Hostess Fruit Pies (thanks to Dean) and stumbled across this collection of old Hostess advertisements from comic books. Who knew snack cakes were such a salve for the ills of mankind?

Never?!
Yep. Never.
I've bought very few myself... I couldn't stand the feel of the paper (weird reason, I know)... Although, some of the glossy ones I've seen more recently in bookstores are pretty cool.
I know a guy who admits he spends at least $200 a month on them...
