Obsession: Life in Comics

On Jul 18, 2008 9:00 AM

Welcome, welcome, welcome!  It is nice to hear of your experiences and I am looking forward to reading your articles.   I tried to remember, and I can't think of who it is that I wanted to be when I was younger.  I used to say it was Heather Thomas so I could hang out with Lee Majors and be a Billy Badass all the time, but after having watched some episodes of The Fall Guy on ...

The C Word

How to Get Her to Read Comics

On Jun 11, 2008 12:00 PM

It is interesting to hear everyone's ideas or stories on "How to get Her to Read Comics".  This topic is something that I really don't have an idea on how to help people accomplish.  There is no sagely feminine advice here (thanks to ohcaroline for helping to take care of that).  I found comics on my own- I love to read and I love art, so it was just kind of natural f...
