I know a lot of you are probably asking at what point are things finally going to go horribly wrong. Well, you’ll just have to wait and see!

Christmas comes early (or late, depending on how you look at it) at Kingdom Comix. The question, of course, is what on earth is going to be in that box.
Tune in next bat time, next bat channel!
This is meant to be a pseudo-homage to Goldfinger, where near the end of the film, when James Bond is ready to head home, that Felix Leiter stocks his plane with “liquor for three” when Bond, in fact, was to be the only passenger. I guess that is how Bart rolls with Chinese food.
We’ll be making some special announcements, cool offers, and fun contests to go along with the soon-to-be-release of our first webstrip collection soon. I hope you all will consider ordering one.
I think Stan did a great job on this strip–Noel’s facial expressions are priceless.
A few people have asked me if I have gotten any of my own comics slabbed. The answer is “yes”, although only about 10 books. I sent a scattering of a few Bronze Age books that I had and thought were in good condition just to get an idea of how they would grade out. The highlight of the lot was an Uncanny X-Men 95, which came back a 9.4.
Things continue to move forward on this storyline, with really no end in sight. It’s going to continue to, at the very least, Strip 236 (with a four-part WarWorld Online Intermission stuck in there). I hope you all are enjoying this one.
On an unrelated note, I turn 40 on Sunday. I’m not sure how happy I am about the whole situation, but it’s not like I have a choice in the matter. Fortunately, my friends and family have sent me loads of encouraging words, so all is well in the world.
Well, this looks like an interesting twist. Bart’s hard up for cash, and there are two rather affluent ladies in the shop as we speak. Whatever shall transpire next? Stay tuned, true believer. EXCELSIOR!
I know that this storyline has evolved past “back room follies,” but I don’t have the heart to change the title. Perhaps we’re starting to get an idea of what Bart has in store for these books.
Stay tuned, gentle reader!
