Hey Buzz I'm sitten' here at home recovering from this Mf-ing spine surgery and it hurts. I could use a smile or two. Can you link to some of these nutty comic FB groups you speak of. Thanks.

sometimes around here I feel like I've been placed in the AP English class by mistake and I should really just be in the regular dumb-folk english class.

All AF15s are beautiful to me. I love them all. Congrats on your book Mr. AJ!

Thank you for the article. The term is Safe Deposit Box NOT Safety Deposit Box. And no I don’t care what your Google search comes up with. It’s incorrect to call it a Safety Deposit Box. Just because everyone does it does not make it correct. and yes the bank does not insure what you keep in your Safe Deposit Box because they are not suppose to know what you have in them. I love going to my Safe Deposit Box. I’m alone and it’s cool and quiet and the ghosts of the stories of all manner of treasures swirl around me. It’s like living in one of Brian Eno’s ambient music albums. One of the better ones that he did with Harold Budd and/or Daniel Lanois. See album Harold Budd's Lovely Thunder for reference. When I go to one of my larger Safe Deposit Boxes in the snazzy-rittzy, Ca., town of San Marino (think old $$$, older $$$ than Beverly Hills, older $$$ than South Pasadena), the families pass the largest Safe Deposit boxes down in their wills to other family members. I've been on a list for a large Safe Deposit box for about 17 years. I love Safe Deposit Boxes as much as I do comics! I wish CGC would grade and encapsulate them.

in front of my 93 or 94 year old mother I let slip out of my mouth that nothing on TeeVee is real, including the news. I saw her mind explode, perhaps much like Tim Leary after first taking LSD. I've been paying the price ever since.

Oh, ok.

Hey, I'll go on about the history and importance of bank Safe Deposit Boxes but I somehow think you guys are tired of my obsession with them.

Ummm....I just kinda got here but I guess it's ok to give advice or whatever because the journal idea here is that you're making your private life public and for requested input? Ok, so the idea of learning a trade is the ticket. Find a tradesmen in your area and offer to carry his tools for free to learn. Show up early. If you're not 1/2 hour early, you're late. Do the work no one else wants to do. If you do this for six months your life will become radically different. There is no get rich. There is just hard work. Unless you're born into wealth. And it seems you're not. When you shut your mouth and just do instead of running your mouth, your life will become radically different. And that means respect. You'll get that now. And that means money. And you'll get that now. And that means babes (please do not get the babes pregnant at this time, if ever. Use birth control) and comics. Trust me. Please.

great. thanks for tapping my OCD on the shoulder and letting it know I should be more OCD about something.

yeah, this one.

as always, thanks to all who took the time to respond. I'm more inclined to the copy(ies) that have none of the white side/titles binding showing. Even tho these seem to get 9.8s via CGC.

So I'm putting together my second raw xmen 94-143 run together (in case my first run breaks or something) and my OCD is giving me a fit with issue 137. What's a nice one look like? These square bound bigger books are tough. Is it considered mis-rapped if you see the white binding/title on the front cover? Also the staples on the inside, should they be directly in the side of the book? Some seem stapled deep into the splash page. My OCD is off the charts today and I'm just kinda looking at that book today. Any Square Bound Double Size Issue experts out there?

hey thanks! gonna check that out!

wonderful post, sir and welcome. we are all like drug addicts with ocd in a way (OCD is awful as it doesn't let you enjoy anything)and often forget they are just comics and take us back to a happier time and place. Great story and art is a plus. While in the hospital in some fairly bad pain that no medicine would manage I would just look at covers of old comics from the 70s and such and it took much of the pain away. Someone read and read and read and loved this comic. Now someone new owns it. Until it's handed off again.

yeah, you probably deserved more than a displeased parent would give ya! But you were a kid, seems like you found your way and are now teaching the youngens' poisitve attributes as the children are our future. So it's ok and hopefully the kids you yelled at are happy and doing well themselves

Point taken, Sir. I apologize. I have been to Kentucky and it's beautiful. I believe I went spelunking in a cave in Kentucky where this guy got lost deep in the caves in the 1920s or so. It's kinda famous story. People went in looking for him but got too scared and turned around leaving the cave full of stuff from the 20s. I believe I saw a Ouija board where they were trying to contact his spirit to find out where his body was. They found him, way, way, way deep in the cave and buried him in a coffin there. You can see it but I believe someone stole his body. Some people speculated he had sexual fantasies in the cave as if the cave, for him, had "lady parts" and the cave was his girlfriend. I'm serious. I wish I wasn't so tired but I would look it up and provide links. It's an utterly fascinating story. In regards to Noah's Ark, the replica of Noah's Ark, etc, we will just respectfully disagree.

I have no recollection of posting this. I believe I was still in hospital on thursday for my spinal surgery. I’d think my account was hacked saved for the fact I currently am looking for a DKR #1 and I have been to a safari in Tanzania. Lord save me (and you) from whatever else I must have posted. EDIT: thanks to all that took the time to provide info re: DKR.

The Dark Knight Returns #1 (lst printing) BOOK ONE (of the 4-issue miniseries.? THAT CAME OUT in FALLish. 1987. curious is all. If someone had the prices from the most currently OSPG that just came out that would be of extra help!

MAN I'M HAVING REAL PROBLEMS OVER HERE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! MAN, IT WAS EISER TO TRAVERSE THE FIELDS OF OF THE SELOUS GAME PRESERVE IN THE WILDS OF TANZANIA THAN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT A FIRST PRINTING OF TDKR CURRENTLY GOES FOR!!!! I have the 47th EDITION of the OVSPG with Steranko's "depiction" of Batman on the cover. Thank you.

Does GEEZusWalks mean Jesus walks? Like he's identifying with Christ or Christ-like behavior or something? Is he wearing his religiosity on his sleeve by such a handel? If so there is only one thing to do: We all meet at that replica of Noah's Ark in Kentucky (where else?) and discuss what to do with GEEZUSwalks: HOS list? Probation List? What would Jesus Do? Would he find the ASM comic and give it to Brock? Would Jesus keep it for his own heavenly collection? At the Kentucky Noah's Ark replica (recently inaccessible due to flooding but currently all roads to Noah's Ark in good condition!) we could meet in the room right next to where Noah and his family kept the Brachiosaurus dinosaurs since there will be plenty of room and I believe Noah and family has an ice cream/food/video game arcade/gift shops court nearby.

I don’t yreelub collect hulk 1811 but I would oh the hospitolnjsbdom

It’s all good. I’m just trying to get free comics to flip.

Thanks Buzz!

I’ve got a morphine drip/pump, a catheter, a visit from Barry, the hospital comfort dog, a couple of straight up sexy nurses/doctors but I really wanna get my hands on those free comics that people donate to kids in the hospital. Might be a Hulk 181 or something I can flip. Ideas?

nowhere close to popping a vein.
