Buyers: What is your plan for the current insanity?

I would rather see the Blob's taint than lay eyes on that awful Elfquest art. -
Full backs or Half backs with my Mylites 2????
DavidTheDavid replied to WoWitHurts's topic in Comics General
I recently bought half-backs, which served to remind me of the time I bought them once before and the disappointment that ensued. Just spring for full-backs. -

Why not? Maybe the know-nothings are exactly the sort to do this. -

Last December, my wife and I withdrew money from one of our Roth accounts via the CARES Act, though not for comics. Considering the outrageous gains our investment accounts made over the months preceding our withdrawal, it was an easy call to address some home improvements before the pandemic winter landed. And considering the continued outrageous gains in the stock markets, we have no regrets in hindsight. We will repay the withdrawn amount well in advance of the three-year timeframe outlined in that CARES provision and avoid any penalties. As for the direct stimulus payments, my LCS picked up a nice collection of bronze keys a couple of months before everyone got their Biden Bucks. In the brief conversation I had with the owner, he said that they would sell when the next stimulus money landed, and he was right. They vanished almost overnight. -

I had my first and only kid two months before I turned 42. No way I'd recommend that. Definitely wish I'd had him sooner. Everything would be easier if we'd done that. At this point in my life, now 49, I want my limited time and energy back, not to mention money. At my current age, my parents had my sister and me in college. I'll be 60 when mine goes to college. Way better to start earlier.

Mike is a professional presser, and a good one imo. He receives packages daily, I would imagine.

Agree with @ttfitzin that this doesn't hit the mark. And sorry for not being in the counting spirit. But I like sharing.

Reading Michael Allred books tuned me into the work of Nate Piekos of Blambot. If you're the sort of comic hobbyist who enjoys learning how different comic creators ply their trade, check out his site, https://blambot.com/. Some of the resource articles there really gave me a better understanding and appreciation of lettering. He has a guidebook coming out in October from Image Comics: https://imagecomics.com/press-releases/budding-comic-book-creatives-will-learn-tips-tricks-this-october-in-the-essential-guide-to-comic-book-lettering. So those of you who are already lettering fan aficionados, who are the important letterers in the past?

My LCS had their first store variant, the Female Force: Dolly Parton. Living in Tennessee, it's not an exaggeration when people call her Saint Dolly. -

True burial vaults, treasures abound, King Tut would look like a pauper!
