Ways Comic Books Have Lied To Me

I love comic books. Although I went a long time without reading them (for a variety of life-circumstance reasons) I never really stopped loving them. Comic books were always pretty good to me. If you're a regular reader of this blog then they were probably good to you too.

The ads though... Sometimes the ads lied to me.

I mean they REALLY lied to me.


Yup, I remember building model cars when I was a kid. I remember how cute girls of every hair color would gush over me as I stood with my latest accomplishment for show-and-tell.

Oh wait, I don't actually remember that happening because THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!

COMIC BOOK AD, YOU LIED TO ME!!!
