ComicMix Wishes You A Solemn Ash Wednesday
We here at ComicMix want to wish all our Catholic brothers and sisters a solemn and repentant Ash Wednesday. Of course we’re not entirely sure how to celebrate the holiday (c’mon, everybody in comics wants to be Jewish…) so we asked some famous Ashes to give us some tips! They were most helpful.
So today, we salute you, and hope that you indeed catch all the 493 Pokémon… kill all the dirty and damned deadites… and be sure to fight fires and defeat the villains with your futuristic fire sword spewing gauntlets!
We had thought Ash Wednesday had something to do with repenting for ones’ sins, finding inner strength, and the Easter Bunny… but Jimmy Palmiotti, Joe Quesada, Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Satoshi Tajiri wouldn’t lie to us, right?
So what are you giving up for Lent this year? Let us know below! Unless you’re giving up reading online comics and blogs. In that case don’t say anything.
This is what you called me at 9:30 last night for?? Ok, I'll play along.For Lent this year, I'm giving up being lazy about making new artwork prints. Gods help us, we need something more than a preview book and old copies of "The March" to sell this year.Also, if the Easter Bunny (also known as Super Jesus) could drop off some Reese Peanut Butter cup eggs at my house, that would be awesome.
Well, let's see. There's fasting, abstinence from meat (fish is ok), and you might see people with a cross of ashes on their foreheads. FYI, "Hey, you got a little somethin' right there," is *not* polite. ;-)For Lent we're giving up eating out at restaurants. That means 40 days of my wife's home cooking. Wait, I thought it was supposed to be a sacrifice…
