Hey where's the disturbing Kudos you said you were gonna leave me....

KUDOS to BigMan... for sending me 103lbs of porno comics that were so depraved they made ME want to claw out my own eyes with the shattered remnants of an AOL 6.0 CD...

...thankfully I was able to find a local serial killer who was interested in trading a half-empty bottle of lotion resting inside of a small basket for them...

I hope one day to be able to get up the courage to dispose of the basket... but for now it sits as a reminder of the horror that was once part of my life... I take little comfort in the news that the man who traded for the comics committed suicide halfway through the process of sorting them... because the crime scene investigators assigned to the case recorded only 101lbs of comics at the scene...

I know that somewhere... out there... those 2lbs of comics wait for me...

Drew and "wasonff" are one and the same...

Nice list!

I need to update my own list soon... but it almost might be easier to list the people who I haven't done deals with. One of my former managers recently starting posting here, I wonder if signing his paychecks counts as a deal? Probably a positive one, since most of them didn't bounce.

Thanks again for starting this thread Bruce, it's one of the two best on the boards...

Hey 'House,

 

Just wanted to let you know that the pack mule arrived with my books. At first I was a little worried when he showed up wearing a pair of extra small Greggy shorts, and a tank top that said Disco on it. But after I saw all my books, the mind-numbing terror went away.

 

Just so you know, I have fed the pack mule, and just got back from driving him to the airport. He is on a flight back to you now. He wants you to meet him at the airport, and he told me to tell you that he misses you.

 

Thanks again to Lighthouse for the TPB's, including the free ones.

Whew... That deal was really starting to worry me... I put the wrong address on the box the first time and get it returned, so I pay for an upgrade to AirMail M-Bag when I sent it the second time. They quote 4-7 business days and it took a month.

So whose face is going on your dartboard now? I'm sure my picture was falling apart with all the holes in it...

Enjoy the books, and the freebies... And I think I might have some more trades available if you're looking for some.

'House

For 'House.

To look up what happened before, read chapter 12, part 1H

Chapter 12, Part 2H: New Beginnings That Seem Like Old Beginnings!

I can't decide whether it's the new issue of Crisis or these fabulous pain meds, but I suddenly want to curl up in a blanket and coo...

Mmmmm... Crisis...

Joanna,

It's been 57 days since the last installment of Crisis...

I miss it...

I miss it terribly...

I miss it more than the Goth Princess, who left me to dance in juice bars...

I miss it more than Gerald, the crazy drunk guy who used to live across the street from me...

Heck, I miss it more than my first car, a 1978 Cadillac Coupe De Ville...

I miss Crisis...

More, please?

Please?

Especially greggy who keeps backing into me "on accident" at shows...

There's someone else? You told me I was the only one... You told me I was special...

Dude, Hammer was going to fly ME to New York (on his dime) so he could eviscerate me with his claws and feed me my own entrails... then he decided we could be friends and he was going to fly me to New York so he could take me out for hookers and a steak dinner.

 

I miss that nutjob.

He's half the reason I post on the CPG boards... the other half being Bugaboo...

Just two weeks ago Hammer2 was calling me out as being one of his vicious attackers, and now he and I are co-authoring a book on strippers...

On the subject of my "welcome" to Beyonder, I have gotten a lot of mileage out of that post. I don't need to wave that big stick around very often. People know it's there...

Especially greggy who keeps backing into me "on accident" at shows...

Hmmm - let's put it to a vote!

Screw you, hippie!

Crisis historians? What ARE the answers to these thread-starting questions?

Who will be the first to die?!?! Who will be the first to be retconned into oblivion?? Who will dress up like Supergirl and be cradled gently in the arms of a large man in tights??

Hmmm....

Bugaboo - Coinee

JC - Dr Gloom

Khaos - KostumeKween

Mmmmm.... Fresh hot Crisis...

'House more books

With an endorsement like that, I'll be a bazillionaire in no time!

You're in luck too... I just got another one of your pretties in...

ahhh.. the ups and downs of freelance.

I'm glad things are looking better only a few hours later... hang in there.

Let me know how you do with the focus groups and surveys.

 

Crisis time JK... I know you're busy

 

I had a lot of fun writing the horror episode yesterday. That's one of my favorite storylines. Next is funny animal, and naturally, I have no idea what's going to happen (like I ever do). I'll try not to make the wait as long this time.

 

You know, it means a lot to me that you guys are enjoying Crisis (even though Ian couldn't get through 5 lines of it without getting bored. ). Thanks for sticking with me!

 

-- Joanna

It wasn't that he got bored. He got so excited that he called Christine at home to see if she had a spare copy of the first appearance of Mylite...

After spending pretty much the last four days in bed sick, waking up to find a new installment of Crisis was

Thanks, Joanna... Ginger Ale tastes almost palatable with fresh Crisis...

Kudos to Lighthouse for great deals and great shipping on DC archives.

Who says international transactions have to be a pain?

This one was a pleasure, and I'd be happy to do it again sometime. Although I think you have a little light reading to catch up on first....

Well you said you wanted lots of packing material... I grabbed what I had nearby...

Kudos right back at you... Anybody who buys Howard The Duck, Incredible Hulk, Generation X, Transformers, Spider-Man, Teen Titans, and Legion of Super-Heroes can't be all bad...

I plan to be in your neighborhood sometime this summer. First slice of Chuck E Cheese is on me...

Kudos to the 'House for the safe delivery of 5 slabbed price variants! btw, you overpaid in postage...should have went media..

Safe delivery??? Safe delivery???

You could have run over that box with your car without damaging those books...

And kudos right back at you, for being willing to buy stuff you didn't really want, at a price you didn't even choose...

Belated kudos to POV, drbanner, shiverbones, and even you...ninanina!

 

Lame. SO lame! No - Greggy Lame! That is like lamer than lame!

Screw you hippie!

Let the record show that we have just witnessed the 19th post by greggy to include the exact phrase "Screw you hippie" since April 13th, 2003...

And for those of you who would like to view the historical record, here they are:

And in keeping with the Kudos thread... mega Kudos to PovertyRow for paying me the money that greggy owed me!

Another smooth deal with Minutekev. This time I was the buyer and am very happy with the comic that arrived quickly and in a bullet proof package.

 

I need to get me some more firearms... I have only been testing my inbound packages with a framing hammer. I feel so emasculated...

 

You had me freaked out for a second. You shouldn't use "inbound package" and "hammer" in the same sentence.

Shouldn't you be busy reading Sandman?

Lighthouse - We have only had one deal...which of course went extremely smoothly...when I get some time I will contact you about getting a regular new issue delivery form you.

Even though we give the Aussies a lot of flak for constantly selling CGC 9.4's of Amazing Fantasy 15, ours was definitely a "no worries" deal for me.

And although I never intended to offer new issue subscriptions through the forum when I arrived, you're not the first to inquire and I'll be happy to work something out.

So who are these mystery people who deserve the anti-kudos?

Joanna, congratulations on all the paid work you have going on... I know you wouldn't make us go 19 days between Crisis installments if your plate wasn't overflowing with work...

Although I caught Pov secretly hoping you'd get an hour of free time soon...

Only one of his I ever read was Steppe, which I enjoyed enormously. What else would you recommend (bearing in mind that I hate fantasy) ?

As I mentioned in the original post, his Bio of a Space Tyrant series is some of his best, a five-part sci-fi series focused on a character named Hope Hubris, following his rise from migrant worker to President of Jupiter.
