Marvel Comics
I was in the Orange Park Mall Books-a-Million some time in the last two years and overheard the following conversation between a father and son. I wrote it down on a piece of scrap paper, which I just found while sorting out what I need to take to the conference this week and what I can leave here (and what I should've tossed two years ago).
Father:: (tries to show his son the Marvel Comics Encyclopedia)
Son:: I guess I'm just one of those strange kids ... who don't like Marvel comics. (The son walked over to his mother, who was on the other side of the store.)
Father:: (continuing to flip through the Marvel Comics Encyclopedia on his own and speaking to himself) These'll put some lead in your pencil, all right.
