Webcomic artist Neal von Flue has scanned a page from an old encyclopedia which basically says that comic books are the root of all evil. He found it while helping his daughter do a school paper on "comets," and just, you know, skipped over a couple of pages.

Best bit: "There is nothing real about the stories in such comic books, and for that reason, grownups are often against them and children love them." Link
