In this time of chaos, it’s endearing to read private foundations helping out while grants are taken left and right. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/12/n...

My local comic book shop (LCS) in Boston really does a good job to welcome people and know it’s cool to like comics and all other sorts, like manga and cards. Ever in Boston, stop by at Friar Tuck’s Comics & Collectibles! 👍🏼😎 Next time, I’ll take pictures inside. 🤭 #comics

You probably don’t remember me from last year, but I finally was sent back the copy of Absolute Batman 1 graded from that chaos in Midtown Comics last year. Thanks, @ssnyder1835.bsky.social & @nickdragotta.bsky.social !! I can handle conventions, but NYC Midtown lines are something else for me.

Thanks @ssnyder1835.bsky.social for signing my copy of Absolute #Batman 8. It’s one of my favorite variants from your run.

Talk about underpaid! Teachers today have to resort to leashes with elementary school kids for liability reasons(not losing them; taking them all from one place to another). Each generation they’re making it harder for public school teachers. Don’t blame them one bit for the leashes.
