What are some of the things your non-collector friends/family assume about you or other comic book guys ?

 

Perhaps people assume you live in your parents basement ?

 

The one I get all the time is I must watch/love Star Trek. My brother in-law always seem to try to bring up Star Trek lol I love Star Wars dammit Star Wars :mad: Not that bald geek and his lame friends !

Pony tails, stuck in the past, cruise around chat forums non stop, etc. Er. Wait....
Roy is a stereotypical Canadian.

 

If you had said circa 1984 then you might be correct.

Note that that isn't my opinion. Just the general one that people have of us. We're all just fine. :banana:

When people find out that I collect comics it's a total shock because I don't have the appearance of a comic collector.

 

Normally Police Officers don't give a rats arse about comics...they just like guns.

 

To me, I get the best of the both worlds. Guns and Comics.

Really - I prefer women to guns, but each to their own. :insane:

 

Comics are still cool though. (thumbs u

Considering I've been married for almost ten years the whole WOMEN part would be a little hard to explain to my wife.
