A rather dark attempt at humor but the sentiment is there. 

My father has always been supportive of my art. He however never was into it himself. He wasn't into comics or superheroes. 

 

But that has all just changed. After 69 years he has finally gotten into the genre. It began today with my suggestion that he watch Agents of Shield. He liked it a little but was confused about some of the details. I recommended he watch Avengers. Which to my surprise he did. 

I won't say he ran into my studio just now. He did have some pep in his step and was smiling and very animated as he talked to me about the movie. 

He has just began watching Thor whom he likes. 

It's great that even at his age he can discover the joy that comes from comics. 

Now if I can only turn him onto The Walking Dead and Doctor Who. My work will be complete. I know I can reach him. After all I discovered the X-Files because he watched the first two season with my mother.
