We’ve never really loved any fictional character the same way we love Seth Cohen. He was one of our first fictional loves; he introduced us to Death Cab For Cutie, taught us what it meant to be ourselves in all of our unbearable awkwardness, and even created a new holiday for us to picture spending with our imaginary children.

1. He liked comic books before it was cool.
2. This.
