Yeah, first impressions tend to stick. I'm sure glad we didn't have a TV when I was young. I loved reading and I loved comics, and still do now.

Speaking of Cheech Wizard, I hated that friggin' "Hat"! What an outrageous and total @$$hole he was! I particularly detested the series of incidents involving his lizard helper, whom he kept kicking in the balls. I wanted to see the Cheech Wizard get fed through a sausage-making machine, slowly, with his hat still on, and then pissed on, and then the remains fed to ravening pitbulls!

At least some of the overendowed females in that lamentable strip rejected his lascivious advances on occasion, which was all to their credit. I recall one of them punting him about 20 feet like a football...that picture, I liked. He then went and boasted to his lizard helper about what a "great time" he'd had ravishing her. He reminded me of various morons I knew back in High School...mostly guys on the football team.

Obviously, I identified with his helper...
