Serious question, a kid at the local con in Omaha said something that really stuck with me...

I was at the Omaha Comic Con last fall, and a boy, maybe ten years old, was just staring at a display of old X-Men comics. He turned to me and said, 'My dad says these are just pictures, but they feel like my friends are in trouble and I need to help.' It was so simple and honest, it completely reframed how I think about collecting. Do you have a moment like that, where a fan's comment just hit you differently?

Kid's right, and @oliver2, that's why we keep buying them even when the rent's due.
