Bah! What is the point of reading a comic if your hands aren't covered in sticky goo, melted chocolate and possible whipped cream? Bonus points for droplets of milk or Kool-Aid! Every time I read the word “bah” I think of Dr. Doom. Doom has no time for reading comics with gloves! ...wait.......  |

I think this is the most mental, anal-retentive thread that I've ever seen here at the CCF. And that's really saying something! 😂

It might be writing something, or posting something, but it isn't saying something, unless you're using the word metaphorically, but it's not clear that you are and therefore we don't know exactly how you meant it. Back to alphabetizing my condiments shelf. |

Gloves? We don't wear no stinking gloves when reading around here! A nice big thumbprint on my covers means faster proof of theft when police report is turned in!

The gloves would make it harder to eat fried chicken while I read funnybooks.

James made me think it might not be such a bad idea to get some when I'm handling my older books.
If we're bagging and boarding, especially in mylites/mylars....might as well go the extra mile. But I won't wear them to rifle through new books.
And brutalis, please don't think of me as a prude, I have a stack of Archies and other VGs in the loo.

Hey, no offense meant, Captain. I'm only messing about and don't mean to get on at anybody in this thread. It's just that I find the idea of wearing gloves to read comics fascinating, eccentric, sensible, and ridiculous all at the same time. That said, I do like to make sure that my hands are clean before I read my comics (or any book for that matter): it's good practice if you want your stuff to last, I think. But I've never actually considered wearing gloves; I guess because I don't own any comics that are that expensive. However, the thought of wearing gloves has crossed my mind regarding the handling of some of my more expensive LPs or CD box sets, but ultimately I decided that that way lies madness! |

Too much work to put gloves on. But usually i will place the comic in a folded newspaper so I'm not handling the covers. |

No offense taken at all, my friend. I knew you were being tongue-in-cheek, and I was just playing along, since I was first in with a response and I do have an anal-retentive, borderline-OCD quality with my collection that I readily admit to. Also, mind you, I don't wear gloves to read all, or even 1%, of my books. Iron Man #55, sure; Iron Man #54 or #56, no. Captain America #100 or 117, absolutely; Captain America #200 or 317, no way. |

If he was using a speech to text convertor to compose the post, he might indeed have been saying it.

Just gloves? Doesn't everyone wear a full costume (cowl, Cape) when reading their comics?
