Hardest thing about washing the eyeballs in an acid bath is to remember to make sure that the little dish with the acid is clean itself. Nothing like getting dirt in while washing it out to really send out a sense of huffingness. And no, not quite a word really. Not quite a word at all really. More a feeling of the exhalation of air in quite defeat.

Interesting gets a ramp up and there is this thing called a sprawling connectivity and here in drives the other end of a series now kicking off with Doktor Sleepless #1. Ellis at it again and thar be reading to be done.

Course, there's the other end of the feeling masses with Futurama Comics #32. There's a port-a-potty involved. No mention of toilet paper though. Like that other time...

Ah, like that.

Friday night and there's this lingering sense of cold in the air. For those with actual heating, curse you to diced bits of liver in a dipping bowl of tartar sauce. Mmm, that's actually good eatin'

As is looking for a back issue of a comic you've been chasing and then finding it. Of course, part of the hunt is the searching involved and if that isn't tautology, these aren't questions cobbled together into a clump of togetherness. Like waffles on a loose iron.

...chasing issue number 2 of the Lone Ranger...

...looking to get copies of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics 'Long Way Home Parts 1-3' out on Dark Horse...

...Do you have a copy of Batman: Face the Face?...

...I'm trying to hunt down a copy of Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13, published by Archie...

Do you have any in stock?

For those just out of stepping-on-to-a-train or catching-a-ride-otherwise range, best bet is actually to either call up the store on 9601 2622 or email through.

Either way, things might take a bit of time trying to track them down if they're even in the shop. Not counting those which might be sold out or gone for others to have bought under your nose hairs.

Back issues being what they are, they might be there one day, but gone the next as a result of someone else coming in to take them up from the issues.

When in doubt, ask. After all, there's enough tartar for everyone.

That is until the muncher comes along and wipes out the buffet. And then there isn't any more.

Clearly from the trailers and the actual film itself, Bumblebee, the cute little yellow Volkswagen Beetle Bug isn't looking so much like himself in the large scale adaptation. Doesn't really matter about the look of the scamp Autobot unless looking for the pure waters in which to soak the ear drums and eyeballs in.



When put to scale against the other statues from the Transformers lot, it's quite the tempting gnaw to see how and if the little yellow one fits into the hungry mouth. Not to be tried though. Merely thought of with a linger.

Anybody who dares actually eat a statue better have a side dish ready in case the polystone, porcelain or resin disagrees vehemently.

Such a weird case of casing the joint in looking for clues when a mysterious CD turns up in the post. The kind that features music, that audio thing they play on the back of ice cream trucks and before the fingerprint slide show at the cinemas.

Look long and hard enough and in the right place, answers lie and they be there. Of course, it's all in the execution and perception of "the right place." As it always does.

On the topic of mail...

Just wanted to know how I can go about having a comic book mailed out. I'm interested in a comic/graphic novel being released this week.

Could you please email me a product price list for your mail order service?

I like to know the postage cost for 3 comic orders to Western Australia.

Yes, conglomeration is good, when making three emails into one chunk that carves a nice slice of cheese what melts on the hood of a sugar cube station wagon.

Back on topic, mail order service of the Comic Shop is a free service. Only costs to bear with paws are that of the actual comics themselves and the postage to ship them to the destination.

Order about with a request via email, fax or phone on the specific title as well as a delivery address.

Usual costs around Australia, for say about a handful of comics (be serious), is $5 on the postage.

With the cost of the comics to send and the postage, then comes the money order made out to "the Comic Shop" to be delivered to the PO Box. Address in this case being:

the Comic Shop
PO Box 3330
Liverpool Westfields NSW 2170

Then comes the short wait with Australia Post delivering the titles in question.

And there it is, a quasi subscription comics service we call mail order.

Freezing time now, with the swelling of the fingers into massive clumps like the obese what nub along the side dishes into funnels from the troughs. Such as it is, the feeding of the face in times of icy cold weather. Breathe inside the house, those that can see their own heat hit the cold, well, house heating may very well be an optional extra next to thermal underwear.

Take forever for a resurrection when not playing in the big two companies of franchises. Well, looks like that any way when big title changes are concerned. Nevertheless, here comes a return of Tales From The Crypt #1. Horror at it's most. And a well wishing that the kind of stories what kind the nads of the comics back in times before the Comics Code Authority hold the same kind of bit a hungry cow does for clumps of grass.

Recently an issue in this series, must have been something back about #12, didn't really jive, nor was there any real beats of jazz. Wonder then what the tune is on Ex Machina #29 by the time it gets around to that. Probably over in Kentucky by the land of this very issue.

Bendis remains, but Bagley takes a walk with Ultimate Spider-Man #110 being his final solo issue of the long running series. Stuart Immonen is taking over on the next issue with half, but let's read out the final whole Bagley issue for a nice chunk of a Marvel series. Right now on #99 actually, looks like a corker.

And cannot just pass up on Tick 20th Anniversary Special Edition #1. Jam issue, throws in all sorts of creators to slam their take on the big blue boy with antennas out his forehead. Looks promising, looks like one ride of laughs and neck popping veins.

Tastes like water this rain does, only it also tastes like the dirt and dust that fills the air all year and all day long. Harsh stuff that, gets into the lungs and does quite a number. Worse still when the clothes feel a little heavy from the weight of the water seeping in during the walk home or from the car to the door for those with vehicles chugging along in the rain.

And walking to the end is Strangers In Paradise #90. Another one of those independent comics that takes to itself and finds the voice and light at the end of the tunnel years on. Reads are great in those pocket book editions, nifty and easy to walk about with a dose of SiP romance. And it does entertain.
