  1. I shouldn’t encourage you but haha you deserve a laugh face 😆
  2. Classic. Somethings are so timely when you come across them. I had a very similar conversation with my cousin about soy burgers, impossible burgers etc. why?????😂
  3. Haha how thoughtful. She’s seems like a sweetheart. I’m going on 30 years this October with the love of my life. She too has been very patient with my hobby.
  4. Absolutely my man. It’s just hard to see your 43 year streak end through no fault of your own. That being said if you want to get your hands on great art, from one of the most honest and knowledgeable dealers on the planet, simply contact Mitch. A fan 🍇 + 🦍
  5. I think you have some really good ideas.A virtual Con over 4-5 days. You could have remote creators, actors etc gather teleconference. It might be a thrill for those of us having giving up on lines to enter a panel discussion. Comic And art Dealers over the four day weekend could be available live feed from a virtual booth ( obviously displaying there work or inventory from home or shuttered business) It would be great to click on artist alley feed and wait in cue to commission a drawing or get on a waiting list. Id love to see Mitch or Bechara sitting in a lounge chair in their man caves with displayed art and portfolios. You could click a live stream link that puts you in cue to speak to a dealer, artist or vendor. They could have a virtual buddy chat so we could meet up with our friends over the four days. We could brag, ask advice etc. It might be the way to go. I don’t know if SDCC has the wherewithal to pull off this kind of idea. 2021 will likely see prices go up to make up for lost 2020 revenue. Think positive!!!!
  6. Wow thank you for posting. TV Ontario coming through checking all the boxes. So many great artists and creators admiring Jack. Best of all hearing from the King about so many things important to him.
  7. Specifically Jack but any stories about comic legends are welcome. Be it via media or in person, can you share a time you saw a comic legend like Jack Kirby when least expecting it?Check out Entertainment Tonight October 1982 in the link below. Mad props to the Kirby Museum and Entertainment Tonight. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v-BTa_lQ6uQ
  8. You deserve the praise! What a nice surprise. When Michelangelo takes a patrons suggestion and creates a masterpiece, surely that patron is duly pleased. Not for nothing and don’t want to get off topic, but your Dave Stevens page with Bettie is in its own right a celebration. Cheers 🍇 + 🦍
  9. I thought about all the things you brought up too. You raised some good points. Something to think about before art gets posted but I’ll defer to the wide berth B Man left us with.
  10. I have my copy too! I was ten haha I bought the page because FF 200 is one of my favorite stories ever and so cool to own original art from a childhood memory.
  11. Paid a few hundred for this twenty years ago. FF 200 a double sized issue and the climatic end of a classic 197-200 storyline featuring the fearsome Dr. Doom.
  12. It works but I warn you there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle.
  13. Take it as a badge of honor. Then, Contact Netflix and let them know they should not have used the image without your permission. Tell them if they finance a documentary on original comic art giving you a producers credit and a 5% residual, you and your CAF buddies will share a few pieces of their collections and our interesting stories. The segment on me can be called Grapeape Ape King: Mike Exotic
  14. A legend so great he has two threads devoted to his work and passing. Is there anyone out there that didn’t read at least one of his great parodies? Thanks for everything Mort. So sorry to lose a legend like you.
  15. No no no no no..,... 🙏😢R I P Mort.
