Dating advice from an idiot.

Jason — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:50:49 +0000

So the great online sex magazine Nerve asked me to contribute to their weekly dating advice column. Not because I’m the best comic book writer on my block (unverified) but because I’m a pit bull owner.

So read on if you’re curious as to what I have in common with your dog, what movies not to bring to a sure thing and what your old lady is thinking as you pound away at her.

Read it to believe it.

Lend a Hand to Your Extended Comics Family

David Pirkola, a comics retailer in Grand Rapids Michigan, is in stable but critical condition after being shot during a robbery in his store.

As some of you may know, either from previous posts or from knowing me personally, I have a little (when I say little I actually mean gigantic) problem with motivating myself to do what I should be doing. You may be familiar with the feeling yourselves. You know the one, that teeny-tiny voice in the back of your mind. The passive guy at the back of the room meekly clearing his throat, trying to get your attention. And whatever it may be you’re doing at the time, watching reruns of Friends, taking online quizzes, or in my case, playing the time-devouring video game, Mass Effect, that little guy in the back of the room, is still trying to get your attention. Maybe he even started waving his arms around a little. (more…)
