Do you choose light-hearted genius comic books or heavy-hearted life-fearing Bible Christianity?


You are never too old to start a persnickety comic book collection.
The Bible's all persnickety too. Isn't it?

    I don't read comic books or anything written in that unpleasant caption format.  Also, I've never found Christianity to be heavy-hearted life-fearing.

    Last comic books I read were The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. And if I recall they were pretty light hearted. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I know them pretty well after running down drunk to the corner store in Burnaby B.C. Phineus Freak. Freewheelin' Franklin and Benjamin... I forgot . I should have got it by heart. I did before. What is it but Benjamin..who? The comic which said "I have 5 dollars now. I'm going to the corner get me shot of heroin" or something... "Oh fug", by itself.

    I looked at it too on Wikipedia. Saw all this thank you too. No Benjamin but he sounds like stoner. I forgot Freddy The Cat.

    Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope.
