God bless streamers like FreeVee, Pluto and Tubi for free old movies and TV shows. Tubi is chock full of fun series. During the pandemic I went through a ton of 70s and early 80s TV series and old HB cartoons. I watched Scooby-Doo's Laff-A-Lympics. I loved it as a kid because it was sports and cartoons but giving it a rewatch, it was a bit tough. Great concept of using all the Hanna Barbara's creations in making a huge Olympics type of show but the writing was hard. Fun seeing who was on the Scoobie Doobies, Yogi Yahooies and the Really Rottens; I think I'll stick with the comic books.

Aw crud. I knew I was going to miss it when I was walking on the beach. Sounds like a great conversation. I need to get on this next time

I've been in an Indiana Jones mood lately and went back to re-read through the Further Adventures of Indiana Jones. A fun little series with a good roster of artists; so I went back to the original mini-series. I forgot I had the Super Special Magazine of Raiders. Great Chaykin cover with Buscema interiors. Passport to adventure!

Since berkley brought up in the "New & Upcoming Movie" thread a few days ago, I thought I'd mention here that I just watched Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) last night... In fact, I'd realized when it was mentioned that it was one that I'd never watched all the way through - I caught part of it on TV once a long time ago. Anyway, I liked it well enough - like I said in that other thread, Jarmusch has never disappointed me, but I would consider this one of his 'secondary tier' films, i.e., I found it quite good but not excellent. It's interesting in that it seems like a straight up crime/thriller type movie, but in some ways I think it's a very subtle parody of mafia films. Also, the scenes between Ghost Dog (as played by Forest Whitaker) and his best friend Raymond (played by Isaach de Bankolé), an ice cream man who only speaks French and doesn't understand English (just as Ghost Dog doesn't understand French), are really funny. It's a pretty decent remake of Le Samourai. Great soundtrack by RZA but I still think its in the weaker camp of Jarmusch's filmography.

The Roman Holidays #1. Everyone needs another Flintstones rip-off. Yep, and that's Hanna-Barbera's nature, whether they ripped of their own Flintstones, or Scooby-Doo, they were pretty shameless with the self-swiping! At least it's the designs for the Roman Holidays were different compared to the Flintstones. It could've been another Scooby-Doo Iwao Takamoto designed cloned series like Josie & the Pussycats, Funky Phantom, Inch Eye Private Eye, Clue Club etc etc.

Very nice, DubipR . I have a vintage rack with the usual "Hey Kids, Comics!" header, but it's a flat-front lean-back rack, not a spinner. I'm not currently using it because it simply takes up too much room when deployed. If you were close by, I'd take it off your hands lol The magazine rack was what I needed over the classic rack for the CGC books. I'd still like to do a rack of old comics in my living room as well.
