You know you're a comic geek when..

I'm workin earlier today and a dude is paying via check. On his checks there is a drawing of Superman. Instead of just looking at the check, saying 'cool Superman', and completing the transaction like anyone normal would do. I spend an extra couple of seconds trying to figure out who drew the Man of Steel in question.

All that would be geeky enough, but what kicks the nerdom into second gear is the fact that I knew. I knew it was Curt Swan who drew the Superman in question on this guy's check and said, 'huh, cool Curt Swan Superman'. The chick working with me said ' what?' I repeated the fact that this was a Curt Swan drawn Superman on this guy's check. She gave me a disinterested 'oh.' complete with a

It was there that I decided not to tell the customers in line that I could tell it was Curt Swan because for so many decades he was the standard bearer for drawing the Last Son of Krypton, and how his more heroic imagery overtook the Shuster version of the character and became the more iconic image for many many decades, and was the standard art for Man of Tommorow imagery, much like Romita's Spider-man trumped Ditko's in that same area. Cuz I realized no one would care but me.

I really am quite nerdy.

Thank you.

When I was at the bank, it went like this:

Me: oh yeah, I need THESE *points to super hero checks*

Banker Lady: I can order those for you and give you these temperary ones...

Me: I said, I need THESE! *points again*

My fiancee just starting cracking up.

Just got worried because I actually knew what your response was before you responded.

Which means 1 of 2 things:

Either you are off your game

OR

I have spent way too much time with you.
