(...) I got my third booster today. That's the fifth shot overall. My wife and I are among the few who haven't had covid (that we know of). My partner and I have also managed to not get covid - although, similarly, that we know of - which is pretty impressive given that she's a tv reporter who often goes on field assignments. And we're both still at 3 shots; we should get our second boosters soon.
Anyway, Roquefort Raider, good to hear that it's not a serious case (guess it didn't hurt to have all of those shots after all). Hope you're better soon.

Zounds! After almost three years and four shots of assorted vaccines, I finally caught covid-19! I thought my wife and I would be spared, but no. And so I get to stay home for five days and can draw a lot, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I'll record this week's classes and put them online. Symptoms-wise, it's like an adult cold. No pain or aches, just slight coughing and a very runny nose. Since my avatar doesn't have a nose, it's adding insult to injury! Argh! Sorry it finally caught you, too. We made it longer than most others, too, but this thing is getting around. I hope your symptoms stay mild and you recover quickly. If your wife also has/gets it, I wish the same for her. Take good care of yourself, RR! I got my third booster today. That's the fifth shot overall. My wife and I are among the few who haven't had covid (that we know of). Should we start a pool on the remaining holdouts? Don't tempt fate; I have enough to deal with without that. To my knowledge, I have not had it and don't want it. According to the CDC, it is likely that more people had it, but were asymptomatic and never realized they had it.

My wife and I are also among those who have not had COVID yet. We hope to keep it that way. Both of us are vaxxed and up to date on boosters.

Yeah, given the choice, I would recommend declining.

Has anyone been in touch with mechagodzilla since he stopped posting? Annoying though I occasionally found him, I kinda miss the guy.
Cei-U! I summon the prodigal!

I thought kids these days turned their noses up at comics, but for Halloween I set up a table with 150 of my been-collecting-dust-for-decades comics, and with just three hours of trick-or-treating in my town, there was only a handful left. Granted, some adults took some too, but it was mostly kids. "This is the best house ever!" sounded satisfying. My wife also got a "best house ever!" years back with her fancy treat bags (before we had our own kid). So now we're tied.

(...) Hm, I always figured you knew him in real life, since he also - if I recall correctly - lives somewhere in the greater Seattle area. (And yes, I know it's a big metropolitan zone, but comics folks often tend to bump into each other regardless...)

I have a mystery on my hands. Today Amazon dropped a package off on my doorstep. I didn't order anything but when I opened it , it was 2 dvds. The first was a 2 movie disk of the Reb Brown Captain America movies and the second dvd, was the Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie. Is this terrorism ?

If they had included the Matt Salinger Captain America, then definitely. The second Reb Brown pilot movie is watchable and has Christopher Lee, as the villain, to boost things. Brown was a bit more comfortable, too; but the budget isn't there, the music doesn't work and the stunts are pretty mundane (and the Cap abilities were pretty much the same stuff Steve Austin did every week). The Punisher film isn't horrible; just a generic revenge action film. If they hadn't used the Punisher name in the title, you'd never know it was the character. It was better than the 1990 Cap film, that's for sure. You want real terrorism? If the package had included Robert McGinty's Exterminator or Exterminator 2, and Robert Townsend's Meteor Man; I'd be calling the FBI!

On a serious note, I’m glad to be part of this community. Shaxper sent me this package to pick me up and we have many people here that do the same for each other when things get rough.

What do you remember? We’ll all be different ages, of course… I do remember fish and chips in newspaper. Been about 15, if not 20, years since that happened around here. Right now, fish and chips probably costs more than drugs. There was a milkman and a pop man that used to deliver drinks in glass bottles (the pop stuff was lethal, it tasted so sugary). Party telephone lines? Vaguely remember it. Such an odd system in retrospect. We had a black and white TV. Not recommended to watch snooker on! I don’t particularly recall a coal man delivering coal. A shilling-in-a-slot machine? Erm, no. But I do remember a neighbour who put money into a TV. And we had an outdoors energy meter, which I think you put money in (or maybe a token). A GP made a house call to my sister around 1990. They wouldn’t do that now. Our first TV was rented from the local video store. Bob-a-job week is not something I personally remember, but I know what it is. I did see a short (cartoon) at the cinema prior to a film, but I don’t recall a cinema showing two films. I don’t remember conductors on any bus I went on. I vaguely recall an usherette in a cinema, telling some people to shut up. I also remember some smoking in a cinema.
