I had ta laugh when I read your article!  This happens to me quite often
and it's a rare individual who actually *understands*.  I've gotten the 
various sundry comments you mentioned plus a few scathing cracks about
the maturity of "anyone who still reads comics."  I think I've run the
gamut from offering a plethora of terrific reasons for reading comics
to self-righteously NOT voluteering ANY reasons!  My parents probably
consider it one of my least harmful eccentricities and a couple of my   
friends have actually asked to borrow a few that I considered particularly
entertaining.  Most people I know are apathetic about reading comics at
*our* age(s), but a couple more fervent individuals think I'm (we're) nuts!
As far as dates or other MOTAS are concerned, the responses I've gotten 
have been comparatively mild and non-judgemental.  Then again, one solitary
copy of Adventure on my nightstand isn't the case--I've got a special
bookcase next to my bed with about 30 regulars in neat little stacks.
I don't HIDE the fact that I read comics, but I don't dwell on it, either.
(except here--among friends-----safety in numbers and all that....)

                                                 that's missing out!
