I Think That Superhero Comics In Particular

The 'medium' Is Unaware Of Its Attractiveness, That's All. Everyone Loves Comics. I've Proven This To My Own Satisfaction By Handing Them Out To Acountants, Insurance Brokers, Hairdressers, Mothers Of Children, Black Belts, Pop Stars, Taxi Drivers, Painters, Lesbians, Doctors Etc. Etc. The X-files, Buffy, The Matrix, X-men - Mainstream Culture Is Not What It Once Was When Science Fiction And Comics Fans Huddled In Cellars Like Gnostic Christians Dodging The Romans. We Should Come Up Into The Light Soon Before We Suffocate.

We're The New Power, Come To Replace The Old. Cameras In The Head, Children With Microchips, Spin Doctors Rewriting Reality As It Happens.

The More I Think About It, The More I Realize That Schools Are Just Factories For Turning Out Robots, That's All. They Get You When Your Small And Vulnerable And They Take All The Human Parts Away, Bit By Bit, Until You're Just A Wind-up Toy. Turn The Key And Set It Running. And The Toy Goes To University, Gets A Job, Settles Down With Someone Nice.

I Won't Tell You Again! Don't Look Back! In Hell You Never Look Back!

I Prefer Working Out Of Strict Continuity, Because No Normal Human Being Can Have A Firm Grip On The Constantly Shifting Bardo-like Territory Of A Comics Universe, Where Entire Histories Can Be Erased By A Strong Enough Super-sneeze.
