Stuff Bully Got: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: The Art of the Movie

On the subject of things I never thought I'd ever get because I didn't order it in the first ten minutes it was out, look what at long last finally arrived today!


I thought, oh, at last Marvel did the smart thing and did a second printing. Nope. This is still the first printing and they obviously just got some returns.


Learn to do second printings on some books, guys. Then maybe I could have had a Thor: Ragnarok movie book.

What's Bully Reading?: Kamala Khan: Ms. Marvel Little Golden Book by Nadia Shammas and Janelle Anderson

Well, folks, it is Thursday night and I've signed off Twitter until Monday night, until after I have see the big Purple Grape Guy with Rainbow Glove Bling movie and learn who saves the day. I'm guessing it will be this here hero, but I don't wanna have it spoiled for me.


Until then, be good to yourself and be good to each other, and remember: I'M HUGE!

Hey, how come ⁦Shelly the Little Otter Puppet⁩ gets her own restaurant but I don't?



Meanwhile, In Brooklyn...: 1 Bdrm, lotsa Csh

Four times the rent to move in? When did it chance from two months rent?


Also, if you've got a broker that I would have to pay a broker fee to, why are you putting up paper notices on lampposts in the neighborhood? Hey, I found you without using a broker.

Comics at Housing Works: Oh, I have fun

Yes, I do have fun sorting through and picking and pricing comic book treasures for you to buy and enjoy! Case in point: this dollar (CHEAP!) coverless copy of Superboy #133! Maybe not great for collecting, but perfect for raeding enjoyment! Who needs a cover at a price like this?

Record Executives vs. Frank Sinatra

RECORD EXECUTIVE: Now, Mr. Sinatra, we've worked up some LP cover treatments where you look cool and smooth, sitting in a bar, drinking a Scotch, and...

SINATRA: Jilly.

JILLY RIZZO: Look, Mr. Sinatra has his own ideas about what to put on the album cover, see? And Mr. Sinatra wants to be a sad lonely clown, see?
