THERE IS NO COMIC BOOKS AND POP CULTURE GARAGE SALE TODAY, SATURDAY, JULY 26, DUE TO ILLNESS.
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Jimmy Kimmel Live With Fortune Feimster as host. Her guests were her Fubar co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger and her mom Ginny. So much authentic positive energy between them. These are the real Americans, not the MAGA cultists. 7-26-25.
IMPORTANT GARAGE SALE UPDATE! Due to illness, there will be no comic books and pop culture garage sale on Saturday, July 26, at 840 Damon Drive in Medina, OH. I ask you to spread the word on this. I regret any inconvenience this causes anyone. I'll be at NEO Comic Con in…
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, JULY 25-26: cleveland.craigslist.org/gms/d/medina-o…
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: DC Finest: Metamorpho the Element Man. Great blazes! The entire original run of one of my favorite Silver Age heroes in one book that also includes his guest appearances in Justice League and Brave and the Bold. So much fun! 7-25-25.
Just one day until the final comic books and pop culture garage sale of the month. Just the thing to take your minds off not being at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Coming soon: my schedule of appearance and garage sales for August! cleveland.craigslist.org/gms/d/medina-o…
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: DC Finest: Science Fiction: The Gorilla World. I’m very fond of this new trade paperback series. This particular volume, with its 600 pages of gorilla stories, truly tickles me. I love having all these crazy tales in one book. 7-24-25.
There are new items at my eBay store: ebay.com/usr/thetonyisa…
Three days to go before our final comic books and pop culture garage sales of the month. It's a balm for those "I'm not at Comic-Con blues." cleveland.craigslist.org/gms/d/medina-o…
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Deadpool Team-Up #895 by Christopher Long and Dalibor Talajic. Published in 2010, how did this slip under my radar? It has triggered me. Now I desperately want to write a new It! The Living Colossus limited series. 7-23-25.
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: The Hungry Bear Restaurant in nearby Litchfield, Ohio. Barb and I went there for lunch and were impressed. It’ a great rural eatery with terrific food, friendly service and remarkably low prices. We’ll be going there again. 7-22-25.
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #1 by Patrick Horvath starts a six-issue sequel to the horror hit as a woman searches for her missing brother. I’m reading it on Kindle because I can’t wait for the trade. 7-21-25.
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Chirps by Lawrence Lieber is not just a thriller about its extraordinary title hero. It is a character-driven salute to hope and humanity. It’s the best novel I’ve read this year. I’m so pleased for my friend Larry. 7-20-25.
It pains me to report this, but my Facebook page will be ending in May of next year, Zuckerberg claims my page has annual losses of $40 to $50. I've already had to downsize my house band to one out-of-work comics creator with a kazoo. There may be other cuts as well. "Things That…
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Superboy #78. Realizing how much “Claire Kent Alias Super-Sister” moved me as a kid, I bought a nice copy on eBay. I would love to write a story in which her transition was real and permanent. What would Claire’s life have been like? 7-19-25.
