This is kind of a weird post to kick off 2014.

§ January 2nd, 2014 § Filed under I have no idea how to tag this § 5 Comments

First, the new End of Civilization post will be up tomorrow. I spent most of my New Year’s Day relaxing instead of scanning things out of Previews. What can I tell you? I certainly got a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000-watching in.

Second, I’m still looking for your comics industry predictions for 2014…please take note of the rules, as I’ve already had to delete a comment or two from folks criticizing other predictions. Please don’t do that. Also, that one person who thinks he’s being funny by insulting me? Yeah, I’m not putting up with that anymore.

Third, I was going through some old Wacky Packages stickers to put on the eBay, when I came across this one, a scan of which I’m not posting on my site because I’ve got enough problems with hotlinkers using me as their image hoster. Anyway, please enjoy the dirty joke on that sticker sold to children back in 1975.

Fourth, I was goofing around on the Twitter recently, because I can. Here are a couple examples of said goofings:

Caveats: no idea if dirt is more common than rocks. Didn’t research the joke. I’m pretty sure Death of Superman comics are right in there, though. Also, I’m not as cool as the hashtag in that second Twittering may make me seem. I realize that’s a great disappointment to a lot of you.

Lastly, thanks to Tom Spurgeon at the Comics Reporter for including me — specifically, this site’s tenth anniversary — as one of the 100 Positive Things about Comics for 2013. That was awfully nice of him.

So, anyway…back tomorrow with an End of Civilization post. ARE YOU READY FOR THE WORLD THAT’S COMING?

    NO! CAN YOU HOLD OFF FOR A FEW DAYS?

    THE WORLD THAT’S ALREADY HERE JUST LEFT AND I HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO WASH THE BEDDING.

    Marvel will remember that Earth-616 has a tram of kids who got their powers for a space horse, have their own spaceship, and still have to hide their powers from their parents. Marvel will still fail to mint money on this and attract kids to comics.

    ” Death of Superman comics ”

    someone STILL thinks those things are worth money? That poor fool.

    Brook was right. Beta Ray Bill is the shiznizzle or whatever the youngsters are calling it nowadays.
