I can't say much about comic books because I didn't get exopsed to them at a young age. I didn't buy 'em, and none of my friend had them either. I just got a weekend a few years ago - looking at four issues of Zap Comix. With fascination mixed with dread. I thought the writers were a buncha Satanists or something; now I just think they did an awful lot of acid. Bummer on your computer. Remember when "hard drive" was a cattleman's term?

Oh Pete--that's so terrible. There is nothing worse than being computerless. THank God we have three and two servers. I justify this because investing is my JOB. Haaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaa. Comic books are a sensitive subject-I had a wonderful collection from the 50s..10cents each. And my mom pitched them when I went to college. Dan's mom did the same thing to his baseball card collection. He says if he had it, the kids' educations would be paid for. That's why our attic is full of He-Man toys.

Nobody wants to talk comics? Poor Pete. I used to have a big collection of Zap Comix, and a number of other related rags. Bullshit Magazine. Mr. Natural. Flakey Foont. The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Pirates of some sort. But the real fun was the Harvard Lampoon, and later the National Lampoon. To think I trashed all those treasures. Alas.
