A stack of floppies

[dvandom]

I've never cared for how monthly comics are called "pamphlets" by pretentious sorts looking down on the format. While strictly falling under the technical definition of pamphlet, I doubt I'm alone in thinking of a pamphlet as being a single folded sheet. Plus, some monthlies are properly bound as opposed to stapled, making them ineligible for the classification.

However, today I ran across a different dismissive term that I think I can get behind. "Floppies". Because, regardless of pagecount or binding, a monthly comic is literally floppy. And the term also carries a connotation of being somewhat behind the times, technologically speaking, which is certainly true. Plus it's just too goofy to come across as particularly pretentious. ;)
