Is there someone in your life who doesn't read comics? Use today as a way to show them how many types of styles, genres, tones, & age ranges of material there are in this medium. Comics are stories. And who doesn't like stories?
This is an echo of a sentiment I used in my Keynote speech at last years Ringo Awards:

https://youtu.be/Zw75G5ykkM4.
That there are already comics out there for every type of reader, no matter what type of story/tone/genre they already consume in other forms of media.
So, now that it's a few days after FCBD, you may be wondering what to put in front of your non-(or new)-comic reader's eyes to keep them interested. Below is a list of genres (and in the case of 'webcomics'--less about genre and more about methods to find & read the material) with suggestions for each mostly gleaned off of my own bookshelves. This is by no means some definitive list, but meant only to be personal examples I could use to illustrate how many types of books exist out there. Enjoy, I hope you find something for the newly initiated in your life as well as perhaps yourself.

"buy no means"... subliminal messaging? ;)
Good morning,
Dear @David Petersen, tell us, have you ever thought about creating a video game? Your world has good foundation and there is matter created stories worthy of tolkien, and especially the fact that it is mice has normal size, propose varied ter refreshing, ( attacking mutant spider the size of a cow has become normal in most fantasy games) while no need to create a mythological bestiary, end short you would have understood it, we appreciate what really creates you a lot, and I would not like your universe to be taken as an example as alias by big company, which creates games that are not filled with bug has the release, and which in 18 months, disappears from the web.
