How one guy and his blocked-in car outside a comics shop, got the attention of Steve Niles. And some free comics.

A few minutes later the dude was smashing at his window with a cinder block, which only dented his door. I felt bad that he was going to such lengths to get his Jeep out of the way

Being stranded together in the parking lot of a comic shop, we got to talking about comic books, and I soon found out I was hanging with Steve Niles, writer of some damned popular books. He had me write down my name and address so he could send me some goodies.

Has everyone read David Mazzucchelli's Asterios Polyp yet? Just checking, I mean you probably have but if it managed to slip your mind the week it came out and you've never quite picked up a copy, let me give you a nudge.

Even the kids are at it! Eleven year old Emma Buck has created her own graphic novel Group Independent Study Project for a number of students. Great news. Hang on what's this?

In addition to McCloud's book, the class is studying a variety of comics, from "Blankets," by Craig Thompson, to Frank Miller's "Sin City," Gonzales said.

Ah, um, ooh, um, now that's fine and dandy but, yes, can you see where I'm going with this? With parents of eleven and twelve year olds standing around talking to tabloids about this "heathen comic book filth"? CBDLF, any chance you could be proactive on this one?
