I think it could be a case that comics advertising doesn't target children as much partly due to availability shifting the demographic.I know in Australia newsagents no longer sell Marvel or DC comics whereas when I was growing up most used to sell a wide range of titles.Most suburbs have at least 1 newsagent,often more.Now you generally have to visit a comic shop to buy co...

I know it sounds like a self-help term but I use "baby steps" to help me overcome the Fear.Even if I only spend 5 minutes every few days trying (in my case drawing) I know I've done something and I often keep going.It doesn't matter if I don't.I have also thrown out all expectations for what I do....it doesn't have to be perfect or finished,its just nice to do something. I also set ...

Scalped trade,woohoo! BQ:Luckily I had a gym membership the last time my hot water wasn't working.Which doesn't really answer the question.

I feel like I should preface all my comments with how much I enjoy Sonias articles but can't help but think it'll get repetitive,bordering on sycophantic if I say it every week.So just for the record even when I voice any different opinions I appreciate your work Sonia. I think part of the problem with bad clothing choices has to do with it being a medium of fantasy and I think...

Scalped and DMZ.Is another Guerrillas coming out any time soon? Maybe I missed one. BQ: I can play violin at an intermediate level.I taught myself over a number of years with a digital tuner and a series of books.I tried to only practise when flatmates weren't home because it wasn't pretty in the early years,thats for sure.Plus listening to someone practise scales for half an hour is rea...

I guess as a general rule most of us got into comics or comic book characters as kids or early teens.I think at that point it is probably about connecting with the power fantasies and the disconnect from reality was a type of empowering thing. Maybe creators are still in touch with that to a large degree,having had the seed planted in their youth from a long line of stories about he...

Witchfinder. BQ: I'm good,thankyou for asking. How are you?

Thanks for turning us on to this Jim. Reading BOTG was like a walk down memory lane.I spent so much of my childhood torturing small creatures,this really takes me back.Ah the nostalgia!   And yes I'm kidding.I'd totally forgotten Dig'em,odd to think he was lodged in the sofa cracks of my memory.

@edward: finally someone who loves Analyse This more than the Godfather too.I thought it was just me! We should meet up and discuss our love of that film.Then we can argue about oranges and lemons too. It'll be great!

In regards to finding the energy to do something wrong I think maybe its actually easier for people to motivate themselves.I've seen people drive off to fast food restaurants when they could have cooked something healthy at home.I've known people who do drugs who often won't do an ounce of housework but will go to crazy lengths to score....so much dysfunctional behavio...
