Comics at Housing Works: Please let these Star Wars stay

I have added lots of new backissue comics, sets, and 5-packs to the stock for sale at Housing Works Bookstore and Café, so remember they're all 30% off all day tomorrow! I processed and priced a large collection of Dark Horse Star Wars comics featuring many retconned-from-existence "Star Wars Legends!" Mara Jade Lives!

Stuff Bully Got: Cool old comics from Petrucco's Collectibles

While here in Florida, I visited Petrucco's Collectibles, a great resale store near Sawgrass Mills mall Sunrise, Florida (north of Fort Lauderdale) — sports cards, comics, LPs, games, and other collectibles plus a dozen or so boxes of cool dollar comics!



I wish I coulda bought a lot more but getting an entire longbox home on an airplane would be unwieldy! Here's what I did pick up:


Plus two '90s comics I once owned and have regretted getting rid of!

Many thanks to the manager who let me have first look at a new dollar box that had just come in — got the Rimas and the Mikaal Starman from there! Good stuff!


Thanks, Petrucco's!

Bully Eats Food: Spider-Man ice cream!

For my snack tonight: I am havin' one of my special cow bowls full of Ample Hills Creamery's new Spider-Man ice cream! It's full of rich cherry goodness (and no spiders)!


It is not only really delicious but it also has a picture of Spider-Man on the carton! Who says we're not living in the Golden Age of Novelty Food? Not me, I can tell ya that.


Plus, on the carton there's printed a little comic to read while you're eatin' it! Ohhh, Peter! Don't give away your secret identity on the iced cream!



Well, goodnight and sweet (ice cream) dreams!

Well hello there, unbagged expensive comic book!


Here's some more neat stuff we received as donations over the weekend at Housing Works Bookstore and Café, where I volunteer to run the comic book department! (This won't be going out onto the floor immediately, but I hope to have it processed and priced maybe this week).

Looks like somebody's been through a Weird War:

Bully and His Pals: 1 out of 30-50 feral hogs

Well, goodnight from me and my good pal Ham the Stuffed Pig.

The Adventures of Bully: Bully's in a mood

I was going to go grocery shopping but I worked myself up too much so I just went home. grrrr

Comics at Housing Works: It's a miracle

Well good morning, gorgeous, here in the deep mines of the Comics Cave!

Stuff Bully Got: A clever spy and a cleverer valet

A couple cool books I bought for myself at Housing Works Bookstore and Café today!


This Black Widow book is great; I've never seen it before. It's a history of the character in comics with lots of illos and it's very attractively designed.





And of course I already have the stories in this Wodehouse collection already, but not in this edition! I am an obsessive little bull when I'm collecting Mr. P.G. Wodehouse.


To sum up: buy more books!

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn...: Another romantic evening on the New York Subway platform

(British friends: this relatively unfilthy stretch of subway platform is why I have said I would actually eat my dinner off the floor of the London Underground in comparison.)

Comics at Housing Works: "The Complete Chuck Austen Uncanny X-Men"

Oh geez please somebody buy these. I do know what I'm asking of you.

Now Playing: "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon*

Good rockin' tonight! I mean, this morning in the car.

You can't see me dancing because I'm holding the camera. It's a bit difficult with hoofs.

*Not that Kid Sock idiot.

Stuff Bully Has: Cartoon restaurant glasses

I've got four shelves of Looney Tunes and other cartoon glasses in the hallways but I'm just too lethargic to get them posted on eBay. I may just donate them to Housing Works' sister store which sells clothes and kitchen items.

If you're interested in 'em and willing to pay postage, let me know!

Stuff Bully Got: And nothing cost more than a fin

Lest you think I didn't buy some goofy dust-collecting stuff on my trip to Syracuse this weekend...

It's mostly from ⁦Five Below, where my Grit-selling income comes further)


These cat cards are a 2019 running gag with my Aunt Lorrie (John's sister) since I discovered they have this same card for every major holiday. That's all I've been sending her this year!



Also, I decided I needed some sort of deplorable habit.


Chew 'em if you got 'em!


In conclusion, what this country needs is a good bubblegum cigar.
