Short Cuts: "You CAN Take it With You"...




Redartz:  Good day, everyone! Today we offer a quick and easy exercise, tinged with just a little bit of demented morbidity. Got your attention?   Excellent; after all, Halloween isn't that far off...

Our premise this episode:  our time has come, the Boatman has arrived to take us across to our Eternal Rewards. But it's all good, we're ready, peaceful, and what's more, They tell us that we can take One (and only one) favored comic or collectible along with us. I know, farfetched; but just  humor me. Aaaaanyway, what is the comic or special collectible item that you would you 'take with you'?

 

As I step onto the boat, I'm holding tight onto my aged copy of Not Brand Echh! 5. Why, you may ask? Not a valuable book, or rare. But it is meaningful to me in several ways: it was one of the first comic books I ever bought as a child. It was the first back issue I ever bought as a pre-teen neo-comic collector. I still love the book, and the three classic hilarious stories held within. It featured the Hulk and Thing,  Captain America and the Avengers  (okay, "Bulk and Thung", "Charlie America and the Revengers"), and Forbush Man. And although my favorite hero Spidey doesn't appear inside, he is on the cover (on a "Spidey-Man" t-shirt). So this comic kind of summarizes my whole comic experience; with a loony humor that is most appropriate for my goofy self. So, that's why I'm "taking it with me". 

What's going with you, and why?
