Truth - Comic Book People

 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  You know I don't have a problem with science fiction, I actually like some of it.  I don't have a problem with comic book heroes either (I'm Batman).   The movies are fine. I even have some comic books from when I was a kid.  To each his own of course.  I've enjoyed Star Trek, Iron Man, Captain America, Batman, Star Wars, Battlestar Gallactica.  However I've only enjoyed them from an entertainment value.   With movies I admire the special effects more than anything.

So I went to a Comic Book Convention.  Very weird.  Very very weird to me.  I just don't get these people who dress in costume (adults mind you) and walk around "pretending" they are a character.  What's up with that?  Sorry, but it was a freak show.  I can't say I really enjoyed myself, other than for the "entertainment" value of the people there.  Great people watching.

I don't read comics...could care less. I didn't see all the Star Trek or Star Wars movies.  It doesn't interest me. I sure as heck am not going to dress up and walk around in costume or character.  Is it Halloween?  Look I am not being critical, I just have a hard time accepting and understanding. Yes to each his own, but why?  What makes these people spend all of their time and money playing with dragons and reading every book that comes out every week?  What is the productivity personally or for society?

Someone tell me, because I don't get it. There's a chance that I am missing out on something, but I don't think so.  What is the pop culture obsession with comic book characters...with sci fi characters....with old television pop stars?

Hey, at least I got to see John Hessman aka "Dr. Johnny Fever", Loni Anderson, Dawn Wells, Donna D'Errico and Erin Gray.   I spoke with Donna for a bit since we are Facebook friends for 5 years...she's even sent me emails with recipes for some cool dishes in the past.  She didn't remember me - that hurt....no, not really.  Funny actually.  Probably didn't recognize me without the dinosaur costume?
