Someone mentioned this on the Cerebus Yahoo group, and I thought I'd see if anyone else had similar stories..
I once fell asleep on my stomach, while reading my weekly comics (I had gotten 2 hours sleep the night before).. the issue in question was a particuarly text heavy Cerebus issue that had TONS of black ink on the page.
Well, long story short, I fell asleep, drooling, my forehead pressed firmly against the full page of black ink. My fiancee came home from work and woke me up, whereupon I sat up drooling and a huge black mark on my forehead..
She cracked up, and I looked down and saw a good portion of the ink gone from that page and I knew what was up. _________________

I went to the comic store, and was reading an issue (this was a long time ago, so I have no idea what issue it was) while walking home. I wasn't paying attention at all and walked right into a lightpost, tearing the comic in half at the seam and banging my head into the pole an falling right on my ass. I don't think anyone saw, but still. _________________

When I was a kid, around 9, my brother and I slept on bunk beds and kept our collection of comics in a box right by our beds. One night my brother got sick and threw up right into the box of our stack of comics.
In the morning I was disturbed to see the layer of vomit all over our stack of books. But no way did I consider throwing them away. I cleaned off each one and dried it out, and put them back in the box where we continued to read them for years. |

Now THAT'S dedication.
I think my most embarrassing comic experience was reading and enjoying an issue of The Human Fly...so much so that I wanted more!!!

I was going to say, my most embarrassing moment had to be NOT ONLY the purchase of Secret Wars II, but EVERY SINGLE ONE of the tie-in issues. Even god-damned one of them, including Power Pack. _________________ NO CAKE FOR THE IMPURITY. |

About four years ago at Chicago wiz world I met Jim Krueger.
I knew he was a writer. I KNEW it. I've read his books, know of his work, knew he was a writer.
That was before I saw him in artist alley. Brain went Splooie! and I think it must have jumped out of my head.
So now in my brainless state artist alley=artist.
Even though I knew he was a writer.
So I went up and asked him for a sketch.
As soon as I said it, my brain said stupid shit! He's a writer! So I had to sit there and look like an idiot while I appologized and this guy looked at me like I was the biggest moron on the planet.
Yeah fun.
Same day I met Doug Mahnke...artist of the Mask, and Major bummer...now JLA etc.
Well when I was talking to him the subject of Major Bummer came up.
Even though I knew his first work was the Mask, I asked him if Bummer was his first pro stuff.
Again soon as I said it my brain said stupid shit! the mask!
I was batting a thousand that day.
I think I must have had a tall drink of dumbass before I got up that morning.
Happily no such mistakes have happened since...although con season is right around the corner.  _________________ I'm the Bendis of Porn! |

Did anyone ever use Silly Putty on their comics and their mom's folded the comics up, unaware of the Silly Putty? Thus sealing said comic forever resulting in torn pages if you tried to remove it?
I had a couple of comics ruined that way.
Of course, I never um, used Silly Putty to see larger comic book breasts.. no siree!  _________________

Oh, and there was that time during the speculator period that I saw a bunch of GI Joe #1's (that normally ran for $30-$50 a piece).. so I snatched up all of them after verifying it wasn't a reprint (usually on the inside front cover, etc)..
Turns out, for some odd reason, they decided to put the reprint indica on the very last page of the comic. Which sucked, cause I convinced my mom to give me 10 bucks at the time to get these worthless things. _________________

A couple of years ago at the Pittsburgh Comicon I met Bendis for the first time, and, well, I kinda started humping his smooth, shiny head. They had to get a couple of guys to pull me off. That was kind of embarassing. _________________ WHY ARE THEY BLINKING?!? |
