But, I once made an innocent faux pas with our dearly missed Khephra, referring to comic books as "cartoons". I meant nothing of it, just used poor terminology, but even though he merely corrected me and there was no argument whatsoever, it still remains with me. I could tell, though, that these kind of misunderstandings hurt him.

So, no, I'm not into the genre but I respect those who are.
