Anyone noticed that comics can affect how you think?<br>Like, after I read the entire archives in one go I can't help but think in the way Ozy and Millie think.<br>And after I read a bunch of Badly Drawn Kitties I think in their kind of thinking (NOT what they think about!! Their style of thinking, gawd).<br><br>And yes there <i>is</i> a reason why I didn't link to BDK.

I know what you mean. Ozy and Millie especially... reading too much at one time can prove detrimental to my thinking processes, and I start to scare myself (makes conversations with people who have no idea the comic even exists fun though)

When I was younger comics affected how I acted. Namely Calvin & Hobbes...

I think I've heard of it somewhere but I might be thinking of The Wiggles or maybe one of their songs.

it was the "noodle incident" something that happened to calvin at school that the author never showed us what happened, just that it did...<br><br>but I still don't know what you're talking about! I was nowhere near those noodles!

I don't know about the noodle incident, but I do know that O&M changes the way I think.<br><br>Actually, i'm not sure that it does, it just gives me additional lines to think <i><b>along</i></b>, which is interesting.

I miss C&H. That was one of the best comics I ever read... (Though O&M definately lands in the top 10... possibly the top 5!)

O&M and C&H, I think, are very similar, and both are awesome. Far Side was great, too. Sadly, they are gone, and I'm regulated to reading 'The Bookdocks' and 'The Wizard of Id' in the paper. Ick. I do like 'Foxtrot' sometimes, though, and 'Non-sequiter' is good, too.
