A couple more wonderful entries in what I call comics’ “learning to love yourself” sweepstakes!

Why waste so much of your time thinking about how the “bad comics/genres/companies/modes of production” (and each of us, clearly, has a different idea about what falls into these groups) are affecting the “medium’s” credit in the straight world?

Good Day Friends!
