Tomke and Jona, no title.
Five mice dance and cavort under a smiling full moon. One is dressed as a ghost, another a witch. Everyone looks so happy.

My friends went to the Disney Not-So-Scary Halloween party and bought me this amazing popcorn bucket!
A popcorn bucket shaped like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Stitch is dressed like a mummy and he's holding a Jack-o-Lantern full of candy in one hand and a fistful of candy in the other.

Even Man-Things deserve to trick or treat. I'm afraid I don't know the artist.
Man-Thing stands on a suburban street, holding a tiny plastic bag with a Jack-o-Lantern on it. Three children, one dressed as Spider-Man, one as a ghost, and one as a pirate, stand before him.

I'm afraid I don't know the artist, but this is great. Although, Nancy in the Pan doesn't have the same ring as Jan in the Pan.
A rendition of the movie poster for The Brain that Wouldn't Die, except it's Nancy from Nancy and Sluggo comics as the dismembered head in a pan.

Odd, my therapist said the same thing.

I found the Criterion Blu-ray of the two Lady Snowblood movies at a used bookstore. Gotta say, I never expected to read "The vagina goddess has graced us with a visit" ever in my life.

This movie is great.
A picture of a TV with a scene from the 1973 movie Lady Snowblood paused. A group of men surround Lady Snowblood and the subtitle reads, "The vagina goddess has graced us with a visit!"

Check out what came in the mail! This new edition is gorgeous. Also much needed as my old copy is falling apart.
The new Dark Horse edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. The first edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. Interior of the first edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. Many of the pages are loose. Dang thing is falling apart. An open page of the new edition of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In. It's beautiful!
