The moon is so beautiful. It's a big silver dollar, flipped by God. And it landed scarred side up, see? So He made the world. - Grant Morrison

Then I reminded myself that all intelligent children suffer bad dreams.

The 'medium' is unaware of its attractiveness, that's all. Everyone loves comics. I've proven this to my own satisfaction by handing them out to acountants, insurance brokers, hairdressers, mothers of children, black belts, pop stars, taxi drivers, painters, lesbians, doctors etc. etc. The X-Files, Buffy, the Matrix, X-Men - mainstream culture is not what it once was when science fiction and comics fans huddled in cellars like Gnostic Christians dodging the Romans. We should come up into the light soon before we suffocate.

Pop, like Chronos the Titan, always eats its darlings.
