This week’s column is brought to you by my fear and loathing of botched endings:

The comparison of a story’s payoff to a day job’s paycheck is cynical, sure. But let’s face it: reading some of today’s stories, especially in the comics form, feels like work. Even when it doesn’t, I’m still giving the creators the most precious resource that I have, hands down: my time. You know, like work.

Giving away my time for free really, really pisses me off.

Hope y’all dig it. If you do, please spread the word.

Thanks!
