@billmaher #newrules is still missing the point about comics & graphic novels. They're NOT all JUST about superheroes, not all about radioactive... https://t.co/ghf0dPalWY

prevnextSo glad we have intellectual giants such as @billmaher to tell us comics aren’t legitimate literature. Since I am one of those ignorant dim witted comic readers lacking the cognitive capacity to form a intelligent creative response, I’ll just say... suckle my taint, Maher. pic.twitter.com/B0arBil9vX

prevnextIt's weird that the thing that set Bill Maher off about comics was that people were sad when a 95 year old World War Two vet died, right?

prevnextWell, I screwed up. I recommend everyone watch @billmaher and he chooses tonight to go off on an ignorant rant about comics fans. My apologies to all.

prevAs I stood in Target looking at reissued My Little Ponies and trying to remember if we already have the Transformers Combiner that's on sale, I felt a momentary sadness for Bill Maher and all the sad bastards who were taught that comics, toys, and games were only for children.
