Why do we (I) have this drive to collect rectangles of pulp wood and ink?
Yoc:
There's an awful lot of teachers, scientists, librarians, etc that collect comics.
Is there a connection? Doc Wirtham would say that's enough evidence. ;)

I resemble that remark. With me it is the feel I get. It is a momentary relapse to being ten again. It hits me with SA books but the medium itself revives me.

b- that doesn't explain the ones that I still obsessively collect that have BAD stories and writing! Which...I STILL ENJOY READING! Go figure. I think it has something to do with what Narf said...that ability to transport us to a simpler time.
Oh, and I am WAY with whoever said the OCD thing. Why does owning EVERY...SINGLE...ISSUE of a particular run give me such satisfaction? I am sure it is that it scratches the OCD itch that I otherwise might not even know that I had.
Strange stuff, this collector mentality thing! 25 years of marriage, and its practically the only thing that gets me into hot water with my wife. ;D

Then you must be doing something right.

My wife and I hit 30 years in a week. I buy cheap and it is mainly the space my books take up that is more the problem.
