101 Outer Space Jokes With Will Eisner!

This paper paperback collection of sci-fi themed short comic strips and single panel gags came out in 1979, riding the wave of post-Star Wars mania that was still going strong. This copy of mine is in horrible condition, but that's because I got it brand new when I was just eight years old!



What really makes this cheapy printed paperback so dog-gone cool is that it was spawned from the prolific pen of the master himself, Will Eisner! While this is obviously a quicky job for him, you can definitely see the unmistakeable touches of Eisner's peerless ability in the ink, and thus this book remains a treasure I consider to be one of the coolest things I own!

Here's a few scans...(click for a closer look)







Here's a fellow with slightly more info (and a much nicer condition copy) here....

Kaiju Bootleg Puzzle Goodness!

I bought this puzzle at some closeout store for about 20 cents a few years back. I kept it in the original bag with the card attached not because I'm a collector geek, (although I kinda am) but because the whole package was part of the whole crappy bootleg's charm. I love me some giant Japanese monsters enough as it is, but cheap looking knock-off Japanese monsters really seal the deal!



If you click the image and check out the full size scan, you can see there's a manufacturer's watermark for a Japanese company called YOT, and that's about all I can tell you about this odd little puzzle....

EXTRA fun time bonus! Why not print out the image, cut it out along the puzzle lines and have a blast with this intensely demanding puzzle! Minutes of fun for the whole family!!!

Vintage Birthday Card



I love boxes of old stuff. And I love this card I found in a box of old stuff!



And I'm gonna come out and admit what you were thinking to yourself, "The Mom on this card is seriously foxy!"



I've got quite a few more neat old cards from the box of stuff I found, and I'll scan those soon too!
