Don’t fuck with my comic
You know the feeling, don’t you? You’ve grown up seeing something in a certain way, and like it, warts and all. Your own securities and insecurities are based on how those things in your childhood looked and behaved.
Especially your comics.
And then, you grow up. A new generation comes in, starts fucking with your comfort zone. Today, I learnt that the Archie comics were getting a facelift. Apparently, some big-shit artist decided the new gen wanted ‘dynamic art style’ comics, and have fucked up the way Archie, Betty and Veronica look like. Woe, fucking woe.
And just as I was trying to cope with a new-look Betty, I read that Ganesh is organising the next Chennai blogger’s meet. Damn! When I began blogging, organising blog meets was my fiefdom. I was important, and people looked to me for everything about the Chennai blogger. Now, another generation of bloggers walks in, upstages me, steals my thunder and what not. Double fucking woe.
Just for this, I am not going to attend the blog meet.

Happens all the time…
Got sick of new look of Popeye, Dexter and others..

I don’t mind Popeye changing, Karthi. For I was never a fan of Popeye. Dexter, well, though I like the character, never did I see him as a classic. Archie was a classic. I hate it when they chance classics.

I am not sure about the next generation stealing your thunder, but I am certainly not organizing the blogger meet. Its by two blokes – Ramanujam and Kausik. I just put the info in my blog. So please don’t pull my name into all this.

No. No. I am going to hold only you responsible. You are the one who upstages me, steals my thunder. I am going to complain to the big boss of bloggers about your upstart behaviour.

“Just for this, I am not going to attend the blog meet.”
Thats being jealous. Come on accept the realities of life..no one is a king for life!

This is simply outrageous. I think you should not attend the meet.
I strongly recommend you to go read some comics of your generation while the new generation bloggers meet and discuss the next action of theirs to upstage you.
