Rant light go! Robotman and others you are not being deprived of your rights, your doing the right thing. Your not being vain, egotistical or selfish. If isolating can save thousands, tens of thousands and potentially hundreds of thousands of lives then it is such a small price to pay until something positive has happened. Yes lots of people die from lots of things all of the time. Why add another column about things to die from if we can avoid it? We weren't keeping daily Corona score six months ago so it really sucks that we are now. Each day they talk about the flattening of the curve when they have no idea honestly what they are talking about, since the numbers are so screwed and inaccurate to begin with. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, auto mobile accidents, gun violence all have become the norm, and estimates over the course of decades of statistics have led us to know how we educate and attempt to eradicate and lower them. They have tested between 1-4 percent of the population and from one minute to the next those numbers become pretty much null since this disease is so highly infectious and lacking in obvious symptoms from one moment to the next. I know (knew) three people who have died directly or collateraly from this. The collateral was a friends elderly father who was on oxygen in a elderly care facility. Sometime during the course of the evening his oxygen mask came off and even though there was an alarm beeping, no one responded because the staff was overwhelmed with dealing with more critically ill individuals. Triage? I would love nothing more than to sit around at a pub or steakhouse with a group of family and friends. I would like to stand around in a bakery or such being indecisive about what I want to order and be able to tell the people next to me to go ahead since I can't make up my mind. As it is I can't. These days it's kind of like the scene in Seinfeld with the Soup Nazi when I'm out running errands or shopping for necessities. Brief, concise and to the point. There's the customary social exchanges of " hello, how are you something, something thank you have a nice day." It's how I was brought up. Acknowledging other people's presence and continue on. Speaking of being brought up, could you imagine if most of our grandparents and or parents acted the way that the people protesting about being oppressed and somehow victims of tyranny. Fortunately I'm old (63) enough to have had and still have a few relatives that were either involved in WW2 directly by being on or near the battlefields. be they land, sea or air. And back home here in the states during the time, others were involved in the war effort by working at a factory of sorts, or something as basic as working a basic job and existing on the rations of food, gas other restrictions allowed by law at the time. My gosh today people are freaking out because they can't wipe their enough or have hair or nails done and run around at the malls to show off their new tattoo before going to the gym. Are some of the restrictions kind of overdoing it in some instances? YES. It's a work in progress and regress. Ask South Dakota how being dismissive worked out at that meat plant initially when they only had one confirmed positive and then a couple of days later hundreds and now thousands. Please think of the overwhelmed Dr's, nurses police EM's, fire, postal, supermarket truck delivery etc that are putting their lives and potentially those their children and other family members at risk every hour of the day trying to attempt the slowing and eradication of this pandemic. Especially if your griping because of vanity and ego. I'm peace out on a lighter note..... the two individuals in the pics below are having no problems social distancing 🙈

Briefer and HC Keifer didn't make the cut? damn! I could have been a contender!

Hotel room finest. Saving the styrofoam for coffee in the morning.🙈🤔🥃

Nice Wood! I could kick myself 43 times for not pulling the trigger on the chance I had to buy the original cover art to TFT's 30😡 I was at a book show in Burbank 20-25 years ago and it was there for the taking. I believe it was $1500 or such. 🐒😡🙅🏾‍♂️I hummed and hawed and hummed and hawed and 😡 Didn't pull the money out of my pocket.

I was wondering if anyone attended this show?

Just finished pouring a schniglit of said hooligan juice as I sat back down to peruse,🥃🙏🏼

Some of the best preserved comics in older collections I've picked up have been in Robert Bell bags. They get very rubbery and yellowish but unless compromised by other factors the books remain tight and white.🍔🐇

Grabbed a random box and found bunch o' fun nostalgia. Bags $1.00 for 100

Required dress for future conventions over 100 people.

Every thread can use a little Wally.

Charles is still selling supplies. I ran into him at Ken Dybers store Cloud 9 in Portland, OR He lives in Central Oregon and still (was) delivering up and down the Northern west coast. We chatted for about a half hour or so talking about the old days at his warehouse in the peninsula of the Bay Area. Great guy and lots of stories to tell. One item I remember buying a stack of was the signed Wally Woods "Weird- Sex Fantasy" Awesome plates. Kind of pricey though....whopping $10.00 apiece. I believe I bought about 9 or 10.🤗🐒😷

I hate when that happens!

I used to have the green rollover tank in the original box. Wonderful wonderful stuff! I purchased mine from Wayne from Wayne from Wonderland. $145 back in the late 80's🤔😊

Do be nice to your comic books please. thank you🐝
