Growing up I was considered a Comicphile (collector of comics) and a Comicologist (Studier of comics). My comic-foo isn't what it used to be but I know much more than the average bear.

Comics have PICTURES in them. That's pretty much my knowledge of comics.

Oh don't get mega started on comics. He's a BIG BIG fan.

God I was such a nerd (and quite a weakling) in my first year of high school. I fell out of a tree from twenty feet up. I ended up with a broken femur and ulna. The hospital kept a lot of comics on hand and I got hooked on the Hulk, which was how I was introduced to Arabian Knight. As I read the Hulk I realized that what I liked most about him was his superhuman strength. I decided then that I would no longer be a weakling.

I started pumping iron after fully recovering and haven't stopped.

I'll shut up now as I know its your choice, but as a bodybuilder, I can't help but give out free advice about heart health as it is extremely important to us.

Don't apoligize. You mean no harm and sometimes we need to hear this stuff.


I am a diabetic and for the last 12 months I have kinda kept a mild concern / thought for it. As such, 2 months ago I was warned by the doc that if I don't fix it I go on insulin. I was given 6 weeks. Dropped it from a 10+ to 8.5 and dropping. (damn those pizzas and subs) I have room to improve but I needed that reminder (harsh if need be) to keep it on track. I have a wife and two kids to consider after all.

I used to be the same way. It was extremely difficult for me to keep up a regimen. I bought myself one of those little plastic containers that spreads out you supplementary needs over a week. I keep it right next to the coffee machine. That way I see it every morning and can't forget.

You may think its a waste of money, but you may change your mind if you ever suffer from a heart attack. Of course, you are better off starting the regimen now than waiting for that to happen. Heart attack don't just happen to overweight people; anyone that doesn't take good care of their body is susceptible.

It's ok. I understand where you're coming from.

I think I'm at a greater risk of a stroke or diabetes. The doctor seems to see no major risk of either at the moment. My tests are higher than normal but not in the critical range. My blood sugar has always been normal.

I do my best to exercise and eat as healthy as possible but I still enjoy junk foods and red meat.

Scott McCloud did an amazing book in the 90's that goes into what a comicbook is as a forum and what makes it unique as an art medium.

Undering Comicbooks I believe was the title. I have it somewhere....

A gentle nudge is all I mean it to be. Its not my place to preach, just to inform; thats all anyone can do really.

Man, I wish I had medical insurance. Haven't been to see a Doctor in over like 7 years...

Is there a free clinic in your area? If so I'd highly recommend seeing what they can do for you.

I think I've tried to warn you. At least you're not overweight.
