Turns out that buying some socks isn't all that easy. Not when the numbers all look the same. Some kind of problem in that area. And with August 10 comes the realisation that an unfilled Census form can actually fill itself out. What religion is the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Of slightly elevated interest is The Escapist #2. Picking up the first issue was cheap, like a US dollar so. Quick glance at the pages of that and it looks like a winner. Who's to say that the second issue wouldn't be?

Damn socks. Why isn't there an easier guide? It can be simpler.

Less than a month now until the move from 207 to 170 and right next to the library is complete. Here's a sneak peek into the new digs.



Obviously there isn't much to see in terms of comics, statues or busts. They're still making the journey in little tubs that make the arms weak and fingertips quiver.

But, from the lay of the tape on the carpet, them's going to be deep back issue bins to dive into. Sweet glass along the lines are for the statues, busts and all that other crazy merchandise that sets back a wallet into the field of money clips.

Bit of a little rumble in the stomach of the shipping of late. Looks like the next load is set for August 5. A Saturday for those keeping up to date with the calendar. Making it one of us.

As rank as this whole Spider-Man revealing his secret identity goes, the ramifications are still pretty far ahead to otherwise disturb the reading. In any event, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #11 sees appearances from Flash Thompson and Mysterio. Flash was last in a vegetative state on the read pile. That's how long it's been since picking up the reading on the regular flavour Spidey mythos. That is if the veg is walking and talking about of his own volition.

There's a pot smoker some how connected in the events of Ex Machina #22. Part two of a four part story. Trying to roll a comic into a joint or other spliff like shape is a bit of a hard task. Forget trying it on something slabbed by the CGC.

Round, round, round, round. Last week's bumped load is in store, and here's hoping that the next movement coming for July 27 doesn't clog up the back end like a month without fibre. Coincidentally, about a month out now from the moving sale at the new digs.

Highlander #0 is specially priced, perhaps? Not like being under a US dollar to stop it jumping into the pile. And there can be more than one, but that'd be speculative and distasteful.

On and off reading the main, the spin-off of Jack of Fables sounds like an interesting read.

Futurama Comics #26 looks rather familiar. Like as if it's already in the collection. Maybe it already is. Tracking software for comics is useless without actually updating the records as soon as possible. Getting bad? Getting worse.

It's all in the past now...

...but apparently the shop was on Aurora: The Community Channel on Saturday July 22. Specifically on the Pop Collectables show.

Their field reporter Elle Lascelles interviewed Jason about storage for comics and comics care. "Her report includes an interesting new commercial technique from the U.S.A. helping comics stay mint for up to 50 years."



Late in the evening, Doctor Who fans would have probably been watching Tooth and Claw on at about the same time.

Now wasn't that some time travelling segue?

Question really is, did anyone happen to catch it or the repeat on the Sunday?

Screw Superman it seems. The marshmallow float is moving on and it's pirate times and vague, yet direct, rip/riff-offs on the Supergirl thing. That's July 20 by the way, where things aren't that far from the next sale.

There's a stack that's getting higher and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #10 joins the debris. If this series is sour, there's no way of knowing from the look of it. And that will leave about 6 issues wallowing. Somewhere.

Jason Paulos recently pumped out another Hairbutt the Hippo. That's got a hippo private eye in the lead. So does Elephantmen #1, which teeters on an edge.
