"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

Throughout my boyhood I accumulated a comic book empire (some dating as far back as the 1930’s) that numbered some two thousand by the time I left Australia in 1991, when I left them in the ‘’care’’ of some friends in Melbourne. When I returned to Melbourne in 1998, the ‘’trustees’’ gave me varying accounts of what had happened to them – one being that the comic books had perished in a fire in their garage. They probably just threw them away. A tragedy I compare to the sacking of the Library of Alexandria. The comics may have gone but the comic remains.
