After a couple of emails, I finally got an ETA on the new shipment of Journal Comic collections. The guts have all been printed, and the book is hopefully going to binding tomorrow, and shipping on Wednesday.
I’ve got my fingers crossed!
Well, that’s the end of that particular “Pup” strip. It’d make more sense if you read the beginning of the strip over at Serializer, but I think it’s still not back up from the crash yet.
…
You know, I hand-draw all of that shit. I don’t copy and paste any of those trees. Just sayin’.
I’ve been sorting through the 7 or so longboxes of comics I’ve had kicking around since high school, and weeding out the crappy ones. So far, I’ve pared three longboxes worth out, so that tells you what kind of taste I had in high school. I got in at the height of early 90s, Wizard Magazine-fueled comics “speculation,” which means I have a ton of Image and Valiant “hot” superhero titles, “valuable” variant covers and “first appearances”. I guess I’m going to try and sell most of these. I have no idea if anybody in the world wants these comics anymore, but we’ll find out. Man, if I had sold these things at their full “book price” back in the day, I probably could have bought a car.
Yet another “Pup” update. I think Serializer is back up, but it’s been so long since I updated there, I’ve forgotten how. Ha ha, sad but true. As soon as I figure it out, I’ll post all of the new stuff there.
I haven’t mentioned yet – Eleanor’s lease is running out on her apartment in a month, so she’s going to be moving over here! Preparations have already begun. In order to make the move as painless as possible, we’re moving stuff over a little at a time. The first things over are most of Eleanor’s clothes, and her comics collection. So I had an enormously satisfying time shuffling her and my graphic novels together into a alphabetized mega-collection. It filled more than one bookcase. I like just looking at it.
We’ve also spent a couple days rearranging the place, culling out of the old stuff that we don’t need anymore, organizing the stuff we do, and dropping off stuff at Goodwill. I have a lot of old comics and other junk that’ll probably be up on Ebay soon.
