Comics acquisitions

Stopped by Comic Relief after work today and picked up a couple of things. One is The Middle Man: The Trade Paperback Imperative, which collects the first series of The Middle Man. Monkey mobsters, people. Check it out. I also grabbed a copy of Tales Designed To Thrizzle #2 by Michael Kupperman, from Fantagraphics. I wish somebody had told me how awesome this book is earlier. I saw Kupperman at WonderCon (and helped him put one of his posterboard copies of a cover back up when the tape dried out), but I overlooked his stuff. My mistake. I should have been fawning over him. It's pretty much a collection of random gags (and I do mean random) in a mock-retro style. There's a very J.R. "Bob" Dobbs feel to the whole thing.

HA! My dad had an entire box of stupid old comics from the 60s. Wonder whatever happened to it ...

And on the slim off-chance you haven't seen this before, here is a site showing every reason why Superman is a dick.

Heh. I don't think you can be a comics fan on the Internet without knowing that site.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I'm not a comic fan so I wasn't totally certain. It never hurts to try.
