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.

 

Great one, Tonto! You're standing at the front of the comic and that's about the best the whole thing has to offer.

Sure, there's the whole black out, look out from the kid by the fire side. That's just not enough though. It is really like that Ultimate feeling back when Peter Parker wasn't even Spider-Man in the first issue or two. Same here, and it's all build up.

Frankly though, it would be nice to remember anything after what chunder starts spitting out from the microwave with a sweaty bag. It's like certain types of paper are good at absorbing moisture and then there's plenty of others which suck.

From the opening page to the last, whatever transpires in between really doesn't stick.
