Why do comic fans get stereotyped so much?

[superboyprime]

A friend linked me to this yesterday, and I just had to share. Written and drawn by some guy who works in a comic book shop, Our Valued Customers is a webstrip in which he quotes actual things he's heard his customers say.



Some other stand-outs beneath the cut...

It's a fairly common Fundie anti-gay line. Right up there with "God hates fags."

But yeah, who says that in a frikkin' comic shop? What was he looking for, Spire's Archie series and Jack Chick tracts?

I thought it was a fucking joke thing like, did people actually say that?

Students (and some teachers) at my conservative Texas high school do. In my case, they occasionally modify it to "Amy and Eve". I really can't wait for college and getting out of the South.

I feel very bad for you right now. I hope you get into a very good college where you can also enjoy the company of the people around you.
