If they casted the Fantastic Four in the 60's. The Professor would be Reed. Bewitched would be Sue, the kid from Flipper would be Human Torch & Ernest Borgnine could be our ever loving blue eyed Thing.

The way Ninja Turtles was recently rebooted with the Ronin storyline, Garfield could use a nice reboot too. "Nermal, the Abu Dhabi Years" An instant classic.

I think the Lady Shiva piece sold within the last few years if I’m not mistaken. 

I’ve owned it for around eight or nine years and did not win it at auction. Apologies Mike for initial Post

Sometimes acquiring the art is a small portion of the joy/enjoyment you get lookin at it once it’s framed on the wall or in the itoya. I can def see how a sour interaction can sully a piece and change your pov on it after the fact of getting it.

Great question. I’ll have to ask my brother and get back to you.

Nostalgia - Briefly feeling homesick for a place that no longer exists.

Post some pics please when you have time.

Nick with his olive oil voice and guinea charms buying pre sale to cherry pick and resell the "must have it extra pages", Xatari with his constant unsolicited fishing emails without offering a price on art he wants. This is OA life. What can you do but embrace it and enjoy?

Real life is crazy enough. No need to get riled up w perceived slights in a hobby we all love.

That face you make when you finally get the sword you were looking for!

After the terrible results from the past few CL auctions, sellers are taking no chances. They day 1 shill bidding game is strong. Protect those pages!!!

This may be a dumb question but how do you guys actually pay for the art at a show?

Cash, PayPal, credit cards?

I once handed Eric Powell $600 in 20s and it was a bit awkward.

Doge Coin or NFT promissory notes!

I'm here all week. Try the blue line copy

A few years back, Michael Lacombe was handling his art sales. Hope it helps.  michel@babyl.dyndns.org

If a mono print gets xeroxed in the woods, now which 1 is the artists proof? Only PGX knows.....
