Hello and welcome to my sixth column, or as I like to call it: my "sexth" column. Come now and read my article.
Cable, VHS, DVD, the internet, magazines... what do all these things have in common? They are mediums that are sustained by pornography. Don't you forget it for a second that DVD and the Internet were struggling until softcore and hardcore pornography came along and fortified it. If you don't believe me just look at laserdiscs (to all the young folk, it was like a DVD but it was the size of a record instead of a CD, a record being a CD that was even more fragile and about five times as big).
You have to understand that the porn industry is second only to the military industry. So how do you make a successful enterprise, you appeal to perverts. That's the lesson to be gleamed from all of this. Pornography is what sells things. Sex, after all, is one of the great motivators of society.
How does this apply to comics? Hardcore comics, that's what I'm talking about. They're already out there (even current X-Men scribe Chuck Austen has done them, go ahead and ask him about a book called "Draw Me Pretty") but there not getting enough press. Just as you should hand every kid an issue of the X-Men or Spider-Man you should hand every pervert an issue of Cherry or Click.
Join me next week when I dive further into the world of adult comic books.
On a mission from God,
