International Read A Comic Book Naked Day

Savant has proposed an International Read A Comic Book In Public Day on March 3rd. However, I live in the Great White North and have no intention of braving the elements on that day, and so I will be staying in bed.

To this end, I have instituted International Read A Comic Book Naked Day, also on March 3rd, which I feel is a much better way to spend time. You don't have to read your comics naked and in public, but if you do, it's worth triple word score. If you already read comics naked, carry on!

Have a Happy IRACBND!

Not to get too crabby about this, but why does the comics industry get all worked up about these single token novelty days? Sure, it's cute, but promotion of comics should ideally be a year long thing. Just being seen in public with comics doesn't mean all that much, but consistent (and non-annoying) evangelism is effective in creating new readers.

It's well intentioned, but it just seems a little too cutesy for me, and I just don't like the tone of the guy who wrote that article, especially when he talks about non-comics readers.

erm flux i think its at least 2/3s piss-take with the obvious expository point that being ashamed of reading comics is both foolish and not going to promote the industry.

Having said which, a portly bearded gent on the tube half reading his copy of young justice and half waiting to pounce on anyone who looks vaguely human to impress upon them how interesting that comic is will not impress anyone either.

Reading a comic book naked might be a great way to spend my 28th birthday ...

Nah, I'll just get pissed. Maybe next year though.

What an odd coincidence. It's my 28th birthday as well. I don't drink, so I'm taking the only other option available and curling under the sheets with a pile of Archie digests. Nekkid!

Happy Birthday FHTB!

Cheers buddy!

I forgot to read a comic book naked, although I did buy some naked. Never seen the Forbidden Planet staff with facial expressions before.
