I haven't read comic books in a while. Why spend the money when you
can get a much better variety on the Internet?
In fact, I was interested in them in the early 1990's, but many of my
favorites got discontinued or went downhill. I bought the phone
books of the older Cerebus comic from the 1970's and 1980's, but
while those were funny, by the 1990's the series sadly really went
down the toilet as the pretentions took over. The worst thing that
can happen to any furry series is when it takes itself too seriously.
Long Tom.
