Fortunately my obsessions are with things like cooking or watching weird youtube videos, and I'm pretty proactive when it comes to purging. I got rid of maybe ten shortboxes worth of comics this summer because I got tired of looking at all the boxes all over my apt. My criteria were: classic? read it again? interest in the artist/writer? part of a crossover?

However, I feel your obsessing pain. I get physical longing for Star Wars lego sets, clever novelty keychains, and my 2010 obsession, Relax Bear. I don't understand how they can make a bear look relaxed like that, but I like, need his little figures and stuff.
