9. I had geeky comic book friends...

... but I missed out on the teenaged angst angle. I was too busy trying to avoid the bullies who called me queerbait and then beat the hell out of me whenever they caught me. When I had time for hobbies, it was electronics. I quit high school for college.

( Horrors, I missed the prom! )

My introduction to the comic art was Love and Rockets.



It reminds me of people I've met and places I've lived. (I've lived most of my life in places where white guys like me are a minority.)

Edgy "conservative" comics always seem to go creepy-pervy, Mallard-Fillmore-brain-dead stupid, or Chick Tract insane.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

I voted for Zombie Reagan in your poll. That would be one of the creepy-pervy conservative comics, sort of like Twilight with the old man vampire who dates high school girls.

I figure this Zombie Reagan would fight for conservative American Values like pissing on the poor and war-mongering in exchange for blow-jobs. An undead Dick Cheney could be his master and ever-goofy and befuddled George W. Bush an amusing sidekick.
