Take THAT, stereotypes!

So comic book people are pretty much geeky losers with bad hair, bad clothes, and excessive fat. Right?

Oh, hang on a minute.

That’s Paul Pope on the cover of Toronto’s free weekly Eye. There’s a pretty big article about him in there, too, about his appearance at the almost-happening-right-now Toronto Comic Art Festival.

And seriously, he’s a good looking guy. I love the ladies, but even I can see that. That picture is supposed to have a label of “movie star!” or “rock musician!”, not “comic book guy!”

So yeah – step forward for the medium. Hurrah.
