Y'think there's a distinct trend here? Yeah, Cherry Poptart is by far the most searched for comix in my collection. And looking at most of the rest, its no wonder that the porn peddlers do so well. It seems like most people are looking for wank-off material.

We'll see just how long I keep up this running tally.

Vanity Is All

I just got what I think is a brilliant idea. I want to create a new page on my site. I'm going to call it "Sir Real's Vanity Page". What I want to do is contact what few underground comix artists that I know, and plead, beg, and beseech them to do a drawing of me in their own style. I will then assemble the drawings on my vanity page, as a showcase of these artists.

I've already lined up one artist, Ed Wesolowski. His work appears in the American Splendor series, issues #11-15. Now I just have to contact some others. Fact is, I may have to pay some of them to get a piece done. Maybe, someday, if I get enough submissions, artists will contact me to place a drawing of me on the page.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?
