Avoid for as long as possible, DJ.

Find something you love doing that people will pay you to do.

I left my crappy old job windowcleaning for minimum wage to begin working in a prison. And i can safely say that being locked up with psycho's, junkies and thieves is far more preferable, and much better paid too.

Ah, for the life of a window cleaner, the cheekiest, and sexiest of the professions - unless Robin Asquith is lying to me...

Woolly, I have also been sucked into myspace land, and in my own self pimping way have sent you friend requests. Excellent pics by the way, had that Dredd one as my wallpaper for a while, although at the time I thought it was from an old meg cover or something. Very nice.

The tkts booth had no tickets for madame butterfly yesterday, what a waste of a day off, life sucks sometimes :(

Thank thargy for tooth :)

Nice to hear it's going well, Devons Daddy. Less hassle is the way to go.

In my life I've largely been stalking Arthur Wyatt, so I'll be able to post stuff up about his life, but not my own (ho ho!).

No, not really, Art.

My car was written off in an accident, and life is more complicated for it, but I'm okay. Anyone want to sell me a decent second hand car for a couple of grand?

Hi, my name's Dan and I'm a comicsaholic...

So, yeah, I guess as this is my first time at a CA meeting, you'd probably like to know how I wound up here?

I guess it all started for me around jubilee year, '77, I'd've been about three and my parents introduced me to Pippin.

Yeah, my parents, Mum and Dd, c'n you believe that? It was a different time back then, I mean Seduction of the Innocent had been around for a while, but no-one'd really read it, and hell Pippin right, that's not going to lead to anything, both my older brothers had been on it when they were my age, and they seemed to be turning out fine...

but this was '77, so I wasn't just on the kids stuff, Batman was being repeated on the telly, and I'd sneak a look at the black and white Deathlok backups in My brother's Star Wars re-prints every week...

And when that same older brother switched from Star Wars to 2000ad, I was along for the ride, our local Dentist didn't help matters any...

See, by this time it's the early eighties, and our local Dentist's waiting room is the same periodicals graveyard as everywhere else. Only Mr Fixiteeth in our town has got the motherlode, a beat up old single issue of Action...

I used to run, not walk to our regularly sceduled check ups, my folks must've thought I had a mad on for dental hygene, but once I was settled in that waiting room, and Hookjaw was biting that girl in half for the umpteenth time, I wouldn't budge for not no-one...

Then around Prog 330, my brother Robin decides he's too old for comics and my 2000ad supply is cut off...

So I try to convince myself that I've grown up too. I move on to more 'serious' magazines like Look in and the short lived BEEB, all the while re-reading the stash of back Progs I'd scored of my brother...

Aaanyway, suffice to say by the end of the eighties I was back off the wagon. We moved house and I found a '2th' dealer working out of a newsagents in town, then He came back into my life...

Batman, the movie, Killing Joke and Dark Knight Returns along with a wierd collection of about 15-20 random DC titles, individual issues bound togeter in one card cover, the like of which I've never seen since (Like an antiques shoppe run by Natas Speltbackwards in an Amicus anthology movie...), all conspired to pull me into the heady world of US imports...

Now there's folks trying to drag me into the hardcore stuff. Raw original artwork, so yeah, I guess I've got a problem...

And that's the first step right?

Wait, am I at the right meeting?
