If you are asking your wife to put some of this art in your house's living areas, because there is not an inch of space left on the walls, and you just bought two more pieces.

If you have 3 statues of the same, semi-naked looking guy, in 3 different colors, and your kids are looking at you weird every time they see them....
But not as weird as the penguin you have dressed in a costume (which you told your kids not to touch 'cause it's RARE, but inside they are laughing at your "issues")

If you MAKE your employees shove Valiant titles down customers' throats, even though all they really want is the next issue of Batman or My Little Pony (or both, effing bronies)

If you spend hours browsing ValiantFans instead of working on promoting your events this weekend.
So, what I'm getting out of this thread is that Ed will be selling some original art soon? :D Dibs!
Love the Prince Valiant, and the ...if you understand this thread ones.

...feel like you have been given the key to the club, after you first read the first 4 issues of Magnus Robot Fighter.

...slowly start dropping your regular DC books from your pull list.

...your wife has put you on a budget because of all the money you have spent on Valiant back issues.

...dress up your kids in Bloodshot versus Ninjak costumes, just like the poster, and send the photo to Dinesh and he sends you a Harbinger #1 Gold!

...drop your regular podcasts and only listen to Only the Valiant!

...your name (Michael) is mentioned as the inspiration for OTV Episode 101 and collecting new Valiant comics.

...your wife thinks it is weird that you have a bunch of new friends with names like Elveen, SonicDan, Bloodshot, Squirrel, X-omatic, vooch311, Pixierosa, Rubiks-Q-Bert, Caxiotis, and many more!
