I’m not a “congratulate a person for losing weight and getting health” guy but Aaron is one of the good ones and we can’t afford to lose any more than we already have. Great job @aaronmeyers.bsky.social !!!

I’m 6 short boxes into rescanning my entire collection into CLZ after my database was corrupted after the last major update to the iOS app. So far no real surprises, just a lot of books that I wish I had time to sit and read. #comics #CLZ

One of my local comic shops just sold a 9.9 Absolute Batman 1 for a ridiculous amount of money. Of the 25 copies he submitted 24 were 9.8 along with this 9.9. #Batman #Comics

Damn. Pretty sure that since the last CLZ update my database is corrupted and I will need to rescan my entire collection. Finding way too many missing issues of runs I know I have. Sigh. That’s going to take some time. #comics #CLZ

Tried to post these on Saturday but the ‘vibe coding’ was already starting to set in. This was at Graham Crackers in Madison WI. I found a nice stash of Graphic Novels, magazines, and some nice Atlas books.

Awesome day exploring shops in Minneapolis. Time Bomb Vintage, Nostalgia Zone and Extreme Noise Punk Rock. I managed to close out a few runs with this one shop. Way too much to explore beyond comics. Movie novelizations, underground comics, classic magazines.

Further Adventures in Comic Shopping - Rockford, IL. Clyde’s Comic and Fantasy Shop. We spent over an hour talking with @newnajar.bsky.social while he happily dug through long boxes looking for books for us. If you are looking for small press and indie titles there is a good chance he’s got it.

Further Adventures in Comic Shopping - Rockford, IL. - Part 2 Holy Hell! Folks, this might be a one stop shop if you are into books, records, and comics. Toad Road Records. What an amazing shop. There is a ton of comics, and an indescribable amount of vinyl. This is a must stop shop.

Got me tearing up all over again.
Post from Eminem 

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Post to Eminem from Dolly

Marshall (Eminem),
Congratulations on your induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Your performance was amazing and everybody said so. Even though I don't know a lot about rap music, I've come to know that you are the very best at it. Aside from that I hope what I have to say will not seem weird or strange to you but I have always felt some unexplained connection to you like I know you somehow. I had hoped to meet you at the show but you know how nuts those things are, personally I hate
'em and I missed my chance but maybe someday we'll meet. In the meantime, keep doing what you're doing because you do it so well and no matter how complex your world may be just know you are very special and touch people in ways you don't even know.
With love & respect,
Dolly Parton

One more great thing about Dolly. She was a paid-up union member — American Federation of Musicians, Local 257, Nashville. And she had been for 58 years. www.afm.org/2026/08/afm-...

#Comics Mail Call - Tales of Terror - Eclipse Comics Was reminded awhile back by an @aaronmeyers.bsky.social post about Eclipse’s Tales of Terror series. Found a listing for 8 books on eBay that nobody else was bidding on and scooped them up. Leaves me with needing 3 more to finish out the run.
