On radio and television, magazines and the movies, you can't tell what you're going to get. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As you get older you're told to be sensible, but it's important for writing if you're a comic that you're able to still access that childlike thing.
I do not read newspaper comics unless they happen to be out when I visit my parents, but I follow several online comics, which I check every morning while I drink my coffee and wake up for the day.
In my own case, my folks didn't actually object to comics, as many parents did, but they pretty much felt the things were a waste of time.
One of the things about comics is people can linger on images and words as long as they want.
The best comics enlist you to take accountability for who you are, whether you like it or not.
When I was a kid... if I couldn't get a ride to the comic book store, I would walk a mile and a half each way to get the latest issues of 'Batman' and 'Spider-Man' and 'X-Men.' I could not choose one over the other.
I didn't read comic books; that's not something that was really available to me as a child. We watched more cartoons and movies.
I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in.
Neither my mom nor my dad ever bought me any comic books. Certainly not for Christmas. I suspect that doing so would have violated the Parents' Code.
You know, I've never been a comic book person, just because that's not my gig and I don't have a television.
