Everybody who reads this newsgroup has at least a passing interest in
comics, right?

And a lot of us collect comics?

How do you go about explaining comics to the uninitiated?  Parents can be
bad enough, they think that there may be 'something wrong with you' (:-)),
or drop hints like 'when are you giving up comics' ( to be read 'when are
you going to grow up?).  However, what do you do when trying to impress
a person of the appropriate sex, you get back to your abode, and there is
Action #532 sitting on your coffee table (or worse, your bedstand)....

do you...
	1. make a maddened attempt to throw your coat over the comic?
	2. start making remarks about how 'comics are a great investment'
	3. figure if they think you're a mental case, that's their problem?
	4. try to find a way to get them interested...
	
Also, are there any ouple out there, where one reads/collects, and the other
doesn't?  How does the SO feel about your habit?

Well?

Laurie
