I get that warmy squishy feeling of intense geek love all over when I find sites like Apropos of Something. It’s got something to do with how it’s okay for us to make fun of the stuff we love for the enjoyment of other people who love it, too... but we’ll defend that same stuff To The Death should someone not-geeky dare to suggest that the things we love (and disparage at the same time) are less than worthy of that love.

It comes down to that self-awareness I’ve talked about: We geeks know how silly some of the things we love are, and yet we can’t help but love them anyway.

I mean: Check out That’s So Vader! at Apropos of Something. It makes me want to hug this site something fierce.

Thanks for the kind words (found your post via Technorati)! Along with the comics, I also do regular blogging (albeit still quite geeky) at my site's main URL. The comics are more of a diversion for when I don't have anything interesting to say. ;) Anyway, thanks again!
