If you want to see fire, get between one of my employees and their love, comics. If you prevent them from doing their job, you will lose every time you walk through the door.

jobs
You may be surprised to hear that some of the most attractive, fit, funny people I’ve ever met worked at Marvel Comics. The first time I took a friend to my office, she whispered to me, “Why is everyone here so hot?”
coconut everything
Please help me find a selection of silk chiffon robes to wear while pretending my built-in-2006 beachside condo is a MAGICAL ANCIENT CASTLE.

As a comic, apparently I’m supposed to be able to take a joke, ANY joke, no matter how bad, dumb or insulting it is.

In my experience, guy comedy groupies (as opposed to fans) tend to be, well, nonexistent. There is no lady comedy equivalent to the hot, nubile, sexy groupies that some male comics attract.

Lisa's comics include weird illustrated lists, ridiculous stories starring anthropomorphic animals, revolting drawings of medical mishaps and products that don't exist. I'm smitten!

The problem with comic art isn't the fact that women don’t look like that in real life. The problem is that artists' idea of a stylized fantasy woman is "put all the naughty bits on the front so we can see them at the same time."
