Joel, I actually asked about that and it seems as though you and Curt had this idea independently of one another. And Chris hadn’t even made the connection! I think this is proof that Curt has access to the super-secret, rich-people-only, mind-reading, idea-stealing device.
I’m in such a nog-induced haze these days, I can’t be expected to remember that two people I know have made essentially the same joke.
To be fair though, Action #1 is something you’d WANT to get.
Is everyone ironically misspelling myrrh? Also, is everyone ironically telling the same jokes as me?
I was the first one to point out the no-more-pupils, but I thought it would be funnier to go back to the originator of the trend and post it there.
I hear you Markus, my parents can’t seem to figure out why my boxes of comics aren’t really worth anything. “No Dad, the comics you read as a kid would be worth something – that copy of Fantastic Four #1 you read in a gas station and threw away when you finished it – yeah, that would completely pay off your mortgage.”
I could finally be rid of all of the books I kept reading out of loyalty even after the writer I started reading for in the first place had long since left the book!
When I was much younger, I heard about a kid who bragged so much about his comics collection that one night he woke up to find another kid had broken into his house and was reading them by flashlight. Now, whenever a workman is in the attic and comments of the massive block of longboxes up there, I find myself hurriedly explaining the whole “Once everyone collects a thing, that thing isn’t worth anything” principle, out of some vague fear that someone will break into my house thinking they can retire off the street value of an almost complete run of the 80′s Marvel Team-Up.
And that other kid who broke in to read and steal those comics so he could hoard them away in his own attic to this very day was a young Joel Priddy. And now you know… the rest of the origin of Joel’s comic collection story.

The dog kinda reminds me of the dog from Gunnerkrigg Court, but it’s probably just in my mind.

Ironically, I was just trying to convince my family that the comics they saw me with in the 80s and 90s aren’t really worth anything.
