Fluggenock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Cheap Groceries"
"Cheap Groceries"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4015
On top of this CNN Town Hall shartage, my regular "Random 15" from
MSNBC included Kay-Kay speaking at a rally where she makes the big
buildup to the working class, only to cap it with a declaration that
she will ban price gouging on groceries... all in that classic
delivery of hers, that sounds as if she studied public speaking under
Hillary Clinton, like a foreign actress who had to learn her lines
phonetically. Dear GOD, just listen to that scolding junior-high
principal voice, so full of passion and conviction when she talks
about goddamn CHEAP GROCERIES. ...and the crowd's going wild for that
shit; just listen to 'em, as if cued by an electric sign, like a
game-show audience.
This, apparently, is going to be her signature achievement if she wins
the "election", if her hands aren't too full with the goddamn
GENOCIDE. Yeah... not a Great Society, or voting rights, or going to
the Moon... nahh, just cheap groceries.
-------

military support, pledges to work with Republicans on border wall",

Halloween comics giveaway was a success again
 |
| The Deadpool / Wolverine noise makers were surprisingly popular. |
Final count is about 160 kids, some of whom took candy or comics bookmarks from the ALA instead, and some whose parents who took comics. Most kids took only one or two in spite of encouragement to take more. I packed up twice and then unpacked for very grateful latecomers. This might have been the busiest year ever.
There were only about 6 comics for Trick or Read this year... 1 from Dark Horse - Where Monsters Lie and 4 new from Marvel - Fantastic Four, Venom, Star Wars Kylo Ren, and Spider-boy (whomever that is). These are all 13+ rated because you wouldn't want to put out any comics actually for kids... Although Marvel reprinted the Spidey and Friends from a couple of years ago yet again... and the kids remembered having gotten it already. Still, at least Marvel did it, which is more than one can say about DC.
 | ||
| The 2024 new comics, for the record |
Anyway with leftovers from previous years and some FCBD issues, I gave away about 2 1/2 Diamond boxes and have slightly over a box left.
My thanks to Fantom Comics for ordering the Halloween bundles for me. Did they miss anything though?
Nov 3: BOOK CLUB w/ PATRICK HORVATH joining virtually at Fantom Comics
>> SUNDAY, November 3rd @ 4pm
We're hosting a book club for the cult hit of the season, BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES! Richard Scarry's Busytown meets Dexter in this small-town serial killer story 🔪 Writer/artist PATRICK HORVATH joins our in-person book club via zoom, so come thru with your best questions!
Don't. Murder. The locals.This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong's cardinal rule. After all, there's a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you've worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook's own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn't blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree. Cute critters aren't immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.
