He acknowledges that he is, indeed, somewhat older than me. For the record, my father isn’t offended. He acknowledges that he is, indeed, somewhat older than me.

But "Sincerely, Mithel" was just so funny to me after that (possibly willful) mis-reading, I figured I'd come in out of retirement... not to argue points or shake my head sadly at Mithel's world being joyless without us, or anything, but only to point out that neither did I take a shot at "our collective fathers" in general or Mithel's "living relatives" in particular. I only wrote "...barely entertains you with superheroes who were old when your dad read them off the newstand." This, of course, is only referring to the superheroes' relative age and creakiness, and tangentially to my personal enjoyment, at 43, of stories written for 12 year olds. But if you dig it, rock on. The last time I liked a superhero book, Jemas took Waid and Ringo off it, so that shows what I know. :) I almost never respond to these things, anymore, because… well, what’re ya gonna do?

That was unexpected. Oh, and a shot at our collective fathers. That was classy. After all, they certainly were mindless drones as well, buying superhero comics as they did. I love it when my living relatives are insulted. I do hope you have fun existing on razor thin profit margins for the short time that you manage. Where would I be without companies or creators like you? The wails of anguish when you and your pretentious brethern wink out of existence, unremembered and insignificant, sustain me. I revel in your obscurity, take joy in your demise. My world would be joyless. Sincerely, Mithel Ah yes, another holier-than-thou shot at superhero comics by an indie publisher. That was unexpected.
