Comic Book Snacking

By
Kieth of Comic Book Day wants to know what you snack on when you eat comics? He prefers M&M's while reading his comics.  

I wonder if perhaps the way there are certain wines that go with certain meals. If perhaps a particular brand of junk food goes best with Comics. 

Back in the day when I started reading comics, I was addicted to frozen coke slurpees. I would pick one up after I hit up the comic shop from the seven eleven about six blocks away. I'd sip my frozen coke slurpee and read two or 3 comics before i was finished. Being that I live in Miami the frozen nature of the drink helped cool me off and didn't make to much mess on my hands for comics.  However, as soon as I'd get to the bottom and the slurping sounds seemed to become thunderous it was pretty annoying and definitely distracted me from whatever story I was reading.  I might have to get back into that though with the advent of the Iron man cup and straw.



Nowadays, having grown out of my slurpee phase. I usually eat popcorn chicken from KFC. This goes particularly well with Blue Beetle, or Booster Gold. For some reason anything JLI makes me hungry for KFC.

Wow, I never eat when I'm reading comics...

I guess I didn't want to get them messed up.

I never thought about this before

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
