Well to support “Blog Action Day!” today, I am going to ask that us comic book geeks start thinking about our geeky future.
Instead of wrapping a comic condom around your latest issue of “The Umbrella Academy #1 - first printing” - don’t. Stop and think of all your bloody comics and the waste of plastic used to keep them pristine and perfect. When you go to your Local Comic Shop to get your latest addiction, bring your own bag - perferablly a cloth bag. I plan to start doing that. I do it when I go shopping, why not do it when I got to my LCS?
I stopped with the bags and boards ages ago. I honestly did not have the time to tape them up and do all those obessive complusive crap that goes with such old school mentallity. Sure they cost a billion dollars an issue but so what… they are only comics. I used to put a high praise on them. I used to wrap them up with the comic condoms and stiffies but now, I will throw in a bag and often they spill out, edges get bent, creased, fingerprints all over them. Thats what comics should be like. Even my trades. Do I wrap them up? Hell no! They are stacked all over my place until I get my lazy ass to put them away!
Please stop with the phallic wrapping your floppies! Enjoy them but not with the one handed reading - no matter how cute Bomb Queen is!!!!
