[UPDATE: I got some good advice from a fellow web cartoonist that suggested I should mention that my current “Are you a Capes or a Babes?” poll is only on my web site. So if you’re reading this from an RSS feed, you’ll need to go to www.capesnbabes.com to participate in the poll. The poll can be found at the top of my right sidebar. Thanks Garrett!]

I got the inspiration for today’s strip by reading one of Scott Johnson’s Extra Life blog post about a replica of Gene Simmons’ battle ax bass guitar being offered for Rock Star and Guitar Hero at a nice little chuck of $80.

Now, I’m a huge KISS fan. I’ve been one ever since I bought my very first album. That album was The Destroyer album. Actually, to be technically correct, it was a tape that I listened to over and over and over again. Bought it with a $10 Montgomery Ward’s gift certificate my grandmother (bless her soul) gave to me for my 12th birthday. So yeah, I’m a KISS Army soldier but c’mon… even I can admit that there is just WAY too much KISS merchandise out in the world today.

So, that’s where today’s strip comes from.

Currently NOT listening to any KISS tunes at the moment…
