Christmas, Easter & Halloween are the 3 holidays my wife redecorates the entire house.
Jan & Feb: She has a winter theme with snowmen. Mar & Apr: Spring theme with Easter decorations (eggs, rabbits, pastels) for 2 weeks before Easter. May-Aug: Summer/patriotic theme. Sept-Nov: Fall theme with Halloween decorations the month of Oct. Dec: Christmas. Ever see a Hallmark Christmas movie? That is our home that month!
My wife is awesome making our home a special place. Seriously she could be the decorator for Hallmark movies.
Maybe you could grace us with a picture this year. I can do that! Should be one month from today.

Looking forward to the arrival later today of Rob Allen for a weekend of fun, frolic, food, the Jet City Comic Show, and Thor: Ragnarok. After months of grinding away at the book, I can't begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to this three day distraction.
Cei-U! I summon the much needed break!

a weekend of fun, frolic, food, the Jet City Comic Show, and Thor: Ragnarok. After months of grinding away at the book, I can't begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to this three day distraction. That sounds amazing! Enjoy your much needed and much deserved weekend! Not going to lie, I'm a little jealous. Small children do not lend themselves well to their parents having an indulgent weekend...

get off my lawn! -M edit: of course you have to forgive the Lyrnyrd Skynard comment, it's a senior moment forgetting it was members Ronnie van Zant, Steve Gaines and support crew, not the whole band or someone named Lyrnyrd Skynard. Just another sign of getting old. -M

I have several co-workers who were born after Biggie and Pac died. I had to explain to one of them what a Super Nintendo Entertainment System was.
Another co-worker, while we were discussing anime, said to me "I also quite like older anime series, like Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note".

I think that anything that isn't constantly being exposed and reinforced will be forgotten. The general public knows about Batman because of the new movies and Cartoons that are available. If the book had been canceled in the late 50's, no one would know who he was. Ask an under 20 year old who Lil Abner is, or who Crimebuster is. Star Wars was in danger of going out the same way if not for the re-release of the first 3 pictures in the late 90's.

Dear All Members,
Since I change my Avatar(s) so much ... that I decided to change my Username to Avatar Man to reflect my crazy world of changing it often enough so you can see the fun of making them. And, I'm keeping Adam West - True Batman to reflect my love of this Batman of whom that I met 4 times in my life and he enjoys talking to me about his series.
I felt that this username is appropriate and it's reflects my nature here in this forum.

Mark Waid on facebook yesterday... Amen. Mark again... Another Amen on not everything has to be for one specific audience. If you don't like something don't buy it but let those that do have a chance to buy stuff they like too. There's way too much negativity in comic fandom and a lot of it stems form people being selfish and whiny. -M

Live and let live.
There's a ton of manga that doesn't appeal to me, but it sure does to my twin daughters.
Different strokes, and yes, there's a lot of good stuff being put out now; more than I can keep up with. In fact, I've dialed down my purchases significantly as I wade through my back log and try to actually read what I've got before buying more.
I love that there's Valiant, for a well-done alternate superhero universe, and loads of other creative titles and concepts from Image, Dynamite, Boom, Oni, Dark Horse, IDW, Black Mask, etc.

While I may never say that entertainment isn't as good now as it use to be out loud; doesn't mean I haven't thought it. In the end as hondo posted; live and let live.

Well, tomorrow I go in to have the kidney stone procedure done again, hopefully they get them all this time and more don't hide form the camera like they did last time, only to turn up on the CT scan a week later. It's an outpatient thing, so I may be on later tomorrow night if I feel up to it, if not I'll be around Thursday or Friday.
