I told the wife I was thinking of buying a wristwatch with the phone lying nearby. Guess what I immediately started seeing social media ads for!

When I fly the flag of Lichtenstein, as I'm doing with this post, it's usually because I've been enjoying yet another social media thread full of comic book fans stomping their little feet about Roy. We all take our little pleasures where we can.
