All right, stop whatcha doin'
'Cause I'm about to ruin
The image and the style that ya used to
I look funny
But yo I'm makin' money, see
So yo world I hope you're ready for me
Now gather round
I'm the new fool in town
And my sound's laid down by the Underground

Are you on the square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now before the devil
That you're on the square
That you're on the level
That you're ready to stand right here, right now?
Right here, right now

I'm looking for a miracle man
That tells me no lies
I'm looking for a miracle man
Who's not in disguise

I don't know where he'll come from
And I don't know where he's been
But it's not our Jimmy sinner
Because he's so obscene

Miracle man, got busted
Miracle man, got busted

My wife picked this up yesterday. She loved reading them back in the day, and so did I. Only ever got a chance to read a few as they were always checked out at the library.

Doing my best @aaronmeyers.bsky.social impression.

I’m not a toy guy but I have been eyeing this up at my LCS for a while now and it was 30% off for members of the in store rewards club.

Mashing up two of my favorite toys as a kid.

Top Shelf Friday Bonus!

With all of the Wrightson covers I would be remiss to not share this sketchbook signed by the man himself at Motor City Comicon back in 2008. What a delight it was to meet and chat with him.

My Top Shelf Friday forges ahead with another Spooky issue 1. This time it’s a bit more mirth than mayhem with 1964’s Gold Key The Little Monsters.

While not a single album CMJ Samplers were the only source for music discovery when you lived in the middle of nowhere and your radio station options were oldies, c&w, and the one rock station that played the same 30 songs.

A day after a shooting at a Mormon church not far from us Facebook is pushing this in to my feed. When they ask where these shooters were radicalized the answer will inevitably lead to social media sites like Facebook and YouTube.
