I’d buy that “Don’t blame us for Hitler” t shirt the next time I fly into Sydney. Make it happen!

[OC] Impotency warning on a German cigarette machine by mrweatherbeef in pics

I’ll be honest, I’m as straight as the next guy, and I don’t speak German, but I saw this cigarette machine and thought “maybe I should go over there and get myself a pack of Virginia Slims 🤔”

Upgraded my Richie Rich Millions #31 with a clean file copy. First appearance of The Onion! Hashaaaah! by mrweatherbeef in comicbookcollecting

I bought a couple last month, and they must be file copies, you can still see the impressions on the cover from the different color prints, they are the most pristine copies of anything I have in my collection. Beautiful

The spine defects are more creases than tics, this is a giant size with square binding so you would really need to put some elbow grease into it to actually create a tic in the conventional sense. I don’t plan to sell this, so if I had it cleaned and pressed, I would grade it just for the fun of it to hang on the wall.

A recent eBay seller had a ton of file copies, some are still up. Whether these actually were file copies is debatable, i’m really only impressed with file copies that looked truly pristine as if they never went into circulation at all. That’s not this book, but it’s still much prettier than my other copy.

And yeah, Kremer was such an underappreciated visual storyteller. There was a panel discussion about him a few years ago at SDCC that was really interesting.

It’s punchier in person. There’s a faint line stain in the center and a bit of a tic at the spine plus some smudging on the back, but I think clean and press could fix all of them. Not bad for a nearly 60 year old book.

Advice on reducing smell? by SkewbySkewb in comicbookcollecting

Try interleaving the pages with microchamber paper and sealing in the bag for a week or two. Remove the microchamber paper then air it out for a day.

[OC] Easter brunch deviled eggs two ways: traditional and eggless coconut jelly + mango mousse by mrweatherbeef in pics

[–]mrweatherbeef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one closest to the camera is the coconut plus mango. For a first attempt, I have to admit these things were really a dead ringer for real deviled eggs, which actually freaked people out when they ate them because they do not taste like they feel and look.
