So let's see now.  There was a story in a Sunday Lifestyle section of the Times about Vincent Z.

He works hard to stay in physical shape and eat healthy, and benefits from meditation.  He's also got a thing for skin care.

He loves his dad, who's still chugging along independently at 95.  He learned cooking from his parents and enjoys doing it.

He has a good connection with his wife, which started over comic books.

He loves comic books and still reads them for enjoyment.

He is enthusiastic about comics as long term investments.

Reprehensible.

 

I kept waiting for something and then it was over.  Just not what I was expecting.  How can you profile a comic dealer without a few zany sound effects tossed in?

I know Vinnie pretty well, Rox and I dined with he and his wife at a superb Italian restaurant he recommended while we were at NYCC one year.  Nice guy and great host.  That was the same trip we were invited to visit the studio of the impressive neorealist painter Steven Assael; good memories from that journey all around ...the only caveat being my recollection of the Javits Center where the convention was held.

I dunno.  I actually thought it was kinda interesting seeing the "normal" stuff he does in life.

After I read all the ridiculing the article got, I actually had to check again to see if I was missing something.  

It seems rather innocuous.  Don't quite understand all the fun being made of it...???
