With Free Comic Book Day coming up this Saturday, May 1<\/a>, I thought I’d give a little comic flavor to today’s and Friday’s strip.<\/p>\n

I used to make a trip back to Austin every year to go to Austin Books & Comics<\/a> for Free Comic Book day since it’s the greatest comic book store I’ve ever been to, but I, like many people, have tried to wrangle my comic book buying habits.

To tell you the truth, there are a lot of all-ages free comics available, and as a guy who grew up reading comics, I’d highly recommend getting your kids into comics.
