  1. I would be surprised if this book didn't climb in sales and readership in a big way. It is stupid funny and makes people laugh out loud. It kind of the Clerks of comic books to me. I read it, I'm happy. I read it again, happy again. Kevin Smith's Clerks does the same thing to me every time I watch it. This is a special book. I know this is from Clerks 2 but one of my favorite lines of all time "I sure hope that Donkey doesnt have an a@@ troll" The ABC dance made Clerks 2 must see The Star Wars vs. LOTR argument was fandamtastic Have u ever watched the Ali G Show? It is funny how many shows that Todd makes me think of due to the "cringeworthy" moments of laughter. If loving Todd is wrong I dont want to be right

  4. I've read every single issue while on Vicodin. As only a true Todd fan would. I think the reason this comic resonates with us is because deep down, in places we don't like to talk about...we are all degenerates. I have bet on WNBA basketball games before because I just knew it was a winner. are you Scott Van Pelt? He used to make some degenerate bets like that. In all seriousness, I'm hoping to convert another friend to a Todd fan on a road trip this weekend. "Todd Vol. 1. Never leave home without it." Honestly...unless you are a nun or member of the clergy how could you not like this title.
  5. ?? HOW are there TEN bids, and at $95 !!! LOOK at the condition!!!!!! did he actually say there are no creases in it?!?! look at the back!! I could wear that issue like a pair of corduroys. At least he didn't call it NM..... If this was on Craigslist, he'd call it MINT. That is funny. I just bought a run of Walking Dead a couple of weeks ago from this kid on Craigslist. He actually says they are in exceptional condition and that whoever buys them should get them graded and quadruple his money. I took a day off work drove round trip 2.5 hours to buy 6-33 for $400. I get the comics and #19 had a coffee stain on it back and front cover and multiple pages. How in the f@#$ could someone not notice a coffee stain. Ugggggh! Nver again.

  7. Good.. I'm in the market for one. Unfortunately there's only one 9.8 on ebay with a $650 BIN or best offer, or a 9.6 with a 9.8 first print for $400 I got the one for $362. Going into my personal collection. I have had a "tent" pitched since the auction ended. I did take care of my seller though, hate the Feebay!,,,
  8. I am "Jonesing" for some Todd. Read the whole series again on my IPad last night while "firing off a round"!!! Like free-basing some Todd. I certainly don't condone the use of recreational drugs...however reading Todd stoned would be "pretty trippy" (not as trippy as an adrenaline shot str8 to the heart of Mrs. Mia Wallace) but still Dark Side of the Moon good.
  9. I just ordered some but it just has that Forbidden Planet feel to it. Where u order something that they show "In Stock" and then two weeks later u find out they were "Out of Stock"
  10. Let's face it...if we were going to pay homage to Todd's world we would probably be wearing our Todd T-shirts a couple of sizes too small about "navel high" and with many mystery stains. So buy that medium and wear it proudly.
  11. I love jury duty -- in NYC I was on a murder case for 3 weeks and it was amazing drama every day--it was like going to see Deathtrap on Broadway. And they pay you like 50 bucks a day. I was ready to be a professional juror after that. Then I move to LA and they pay you like 8 bucks a day! That ain't right. In NYC u make more b/c those are some hard mutha F@$&ers up there but out in LA even the criminals don't miss an episode of "Grey's Anatomy"!!!! I mean come on Ken...apples to oranges.
  12. Thanks. I have to say being new on here that u and The Authority are two of the more helpful and friendly people on here. I appreciate that. Keeps me interacting on here.
  13. The story keeps getting better but now I can't wait for #9 and a potential Death vs Ranger Any thoughts on how this might go down, given at the moment their goals seem to align? Someone may have posted this info but does anyone know what the EoW NYCC Hardcover is going to cost at the Con and also what the print run will be?
  14. I just feel like those have huge investment potential. Especially if Ken and MK introduce some of those characters.
  15. +1 This is one of those books that people are going to regret not buying. It looks like it came in a little over 7600 copies according to Comichrom. This is one of the best books on the market and I thought 5 and 6 were even better than the first 4. Look out when everyone finally catches on to what they are missing. This comic is just top notch. East of West and this are just stupid good right now. Ken has somehow created a world that is so so so very wrong but so right. Of course if "Loving Todd is wrong I don't want to be right".
  16. Nigel…as the great Dean Martin once said, "I didn't have a fairy godmother, but I had an uncle everyone kept an eye on." Well played. BTW- I am sure with all the "nut swinging" that you are receiving from us on here that your ego could have its own zip code (although something tells me u are more grounded than that). I have to say that #6 has exceeded my expectations (which were pretty high). U are getting dangerously close to "making it move" (channeling George Costanza)! Keep it coming.

  18. Interview Ken did hope it helps (thumbs u So a few months later I’m working for Todd Solondz, the great writer-director. And MK was a big fan of Solondz. So I invite MK to the movie set to meet Todd. And things didn’t go so well. Solondz pissed MK off and the next day MK drew this picture of a kid with a bag on his head and underneath he wrote “Todd, the ugliest kid in America” or something. And I immediately responded to the look of the character but we had no personality for this little bag-headed dude and we had no idea what his story was. That’s when my nephew came along. My 4-year old nephew came to visit me in New York City and he’s the sweetest kid in the world. I put him on my shoulders as we were walking through Times Square and I hear him say, “hey, that man fell over and spilled cranberry juice all over himself.” And I look over and there’s a man lying in the gutter covered in blood. And nearby is an empty bottle of cranberry juice. My nephew just put those two bits of ugliness together in the most beautiful innocent way – right then I knew THAT was that heart of Todd. From there, we just started building the ugly world around this kid. That is pretty cool. I still think Ken's "uncle Marty" probably lingered a little too long on those "good to see u young man" moments.
  19. Ken...out of the most pure form of morbid curiosity...may I ask what your inspiration was for this twisted world you have created? My money is on "your father didn't hug you enough or your uncle hugged you too much"!
  20. Quid pro quo...any way to incorporate the Amish Mafia into Todd??? I would probably mess myself at the prospect of you poking fun at that group in particular!!!! Not a bad idea -- putting that in the notebook. Well be careful. The Mennonites watch TV and according to the show, have extremely bad tempers and like shooting cars Hey the man has incorporated Tom Wolfe (one of my personal favorite authors) "Levi" and his "crew" should feel honored to be in such rarefied company. What would really be great is a page splash in which Charlie Rose "pimp slaps" the f@$% out of the whole crew.

  22. I think that is great. I often give people books to read because a lot of people won't jump in if they feel they've missed the boat. Even the comic shop guys. I take them stuff they didn't order or order enough of to see how much people like something so hopefully they up there orders. I like this better than South Park. Todd is a lot edgier and makes me laugh out loud where SP makes me smile. Although Southpark/Always Sunny in Philadelphia are the shows I use when I try to explain how I think this will translate to TV I definitely hold this in higher regard than Southpark (most definitely) and on par with ASIP (of which I am a huge fan). The scene in the closet is the perfect example of why Todd rocks. I feel "unclean" for laughing and yet can't wait to turn the page. Now that is "Dirk Diggler" staying power (Pre-drug addiction Dirk BTW). For anyone who didn't get that reference I cannot recommend an immediate Boogie Nights viewing enough!!!
