Issue 50! "The Funny Side of Life"

Whew...I needed that break. I had writers block last night equal to writing, pencilling, and inking the same story for at least two years. Promise I won't go nowhere for at least another ten "issues". I went to work today, and Cole and I had a great time instead of being bored. I bought three books tonight, and one of them was called Dr. Blink, Superhero Shrink. It is absolutely great. I was highly impressed. Instead of taking themselves too serious, these guys blended real psychological jargon with superhero antics, such as the obligatory fight between Superheroes who have never met. Also, a kid came in the store who sounded like Linda Blair in the Exorsist when he coughed. Cole and I were rolling on the floor by the time he left. I also bought the Walking Dead number eight, which was NOT funny, because...well, if Sam ever reads it, I don't wanna ruin it fer her. Overall, I had a really cool day...I'm jazzing on my Zen book again, Swamp Thing. Unfortunately, I'm running out of Rick Veitch written issues, and I'm not sure I wanna keep reading after issue 87. All I need to complete my run on the book is issues 66, 83 and 84. So that makes all the Alan Moore books collected in six volumes, which ran from 21 through 64, and Rick took over from 65 through 87. I'm really impressed with the high value of the book...it didn't become lighthearted or silly when Rick took over. Instead, Mr. Veitch continued down the same path that Alan had trod, and in my opinion, did a magnificent job of maintaining the characters flavors that made each of them special in the first place. In closing, tell your Dads that you love'em, and show them tomorrow. Later.
