British funny and American sequential art.

Throughout recent months I've seen my tastes evolved and change.

I've become a big fan of Vertigo comics, or rather American comics in general.

I've spent quite abit of money on trades, and some issues. I started listening and watching alot of comic book podcasts.

Ask me 3 years ago would I EVER be buying American comics or if I knew what are trades, issues, annual, OGN, or who Brian K Vaughn, Brian Michael Bendis, Brian Wood are I would have said no.

I've fallen out of love with manga it seems. FLCL is probably the only anime series I still truly love, I'll still read One Piece out of obligation but fuck me if I'm ever touching anything naruto-related again. EVER.

I started watching some British comedy and developed an unhealthy fascination and like for "a bit of fry and laurie" and "Laurel and Hardy". I still don't get "Mighty Boosh" and Big Brother can stick it's camera up its ass but I did not expect myself to be such a huge fan of Hugh Laurie's comedy stuff. I never got Little Britain and have only vague recollections of "mind your language" and today here I am, desperately hoping someone will upload another youtube of Hugh Laurie on Piano.

I'll try to watch more Phyton later this year.
