What's the strangest way you've ever received a comic???

66 posts in this topic

This is comical, but true:

 

There was a time in middle school when I had enough of this one larger kid

that was bullying me. He was chasing me as usual and I stopped and hell with it

and POW! I knocked his arse flat with a lucky uppercut. It connected so good even I was

stunned to see him fall like that.

 

I was getting ready to paste him another when he said "wait, wait - you like comics don't you?"

and strange enough he brought me some books out of his locker trying to make friends.

 

I took the books and walked away...

 

 

If I known that I would've hit him sooner.

Well, I don't have a story like that but I did receive a comic from a member of these boards, who will remain unmentioned, wrapped between two real estate guides (like the ones you get in the super market) and they were duct taped together. :doh: And it was a GL key book too!

Now that's beautiful!

What brought this about is that I got a free comic today in a bizarre happening...

 

I was at my LCS and a new girl running the place screamed when she moved a small box

and a huge Brown Recluse came crawling out. I grabbed the closest thing to me...

 

A Toon Tumbler and smashed it good on the table with the bottom of the glass

(who knew, multiple usages right?)

 

Anyway for saving this damsel from this pest I got my weekly book free of charge.

 

I know the owner and I will pay him for it anyway, but odd enough to be able to use a

toontumbler of all things as a weapon.

I recieved a HG copy of FC #178 shrink wrapped tight in plastic. No cardboard or anything.

 

I also recieved a HG western FC with a thick piece of cardboard in the centerfold. It ruined the near perfect spine.

Brown recluse spiders are small... and they are reclusive.

 

This was a about the size of a 50 cent piece. It was big for a recluse...

 

I knew it was one when I saw the dark fiddle on it's mid section.

 

 

I was surprised to see it as well and I have seen people get bit by this nasty

buggers and it's not pretty.

Huh, even with their legs extended they are typically only the size of a quarter... must be inflation.

I bet it would press right out.

You are right, it would have. There was a 1/4 inch gap between the two centerfold pages. (near the spine) I had not even heard of pressing in 2002.

Damn learning curve.
