I'd post more here, but you guys always seem to post right after I have to leave in the morning to go to work and I don't blog there at all. When I get home, I mostly don't blog much, and by the next morning the topic seems to have been exhausted. Right now it's summer and I should be on board more often. <br /><br />As for getting older, it beats the alternative. <br /><br />Rip Off :)Rip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-59046134528528952262015-06-17T02:19:42.577-05:002015-06-17T02:19:42.577-05:00It's a day late, but happy birthday, Garett!

Sheesh-- I can't believe how intrusive the world can be upon one's frivolous pursuits!<br /><br />Let me add to the chorus of voices saying what an absolute pleasure it is to be a part of this community. As opposed to being a place where folks think they can let any surly comment fly by virtue of internet anonymity, I feel like everyone here really does make that effort to put their "best" selves-- possibly even their idealized selves-- forward. And when you have a "best" self out there in the universe, it can't help but exert an influence on all the "selves" one might have running around, eh?<br /><br />Possibly we're just a little smidge better of human beings just because we hang around here? Maybe? (Man, that's a GREAT justification!)<br /><br />Congrats and so many thanks so many times over, Doug & Karen. You're the gravity well around which our black hole. . . uhm. . . collapses. . . <br />(Okay, scratch that metaphor-- not exactly a red-hot choice. . . )<br />(Heh)<br /><br />HBHumanbellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-69278147577078656812015-06-16T22:23:36.142-05:002015-06-16T22:23:36.142-05:00MAZEL TOV!

Was it 2012? 2011? There is no easy way to search the comments, because I am really curious - but regardless BAB has become a part of my daily routine and I can measure my busy-ness by whether or not I got a chance to read a post before late evening (so on a day like today - yes, very busy).<br /><br />I have also been proud to contribute both with a guest post (and another coming up soon!) and with the blog headers. I, too, have a couple of 100 Word reviews I am working - They are almost like poems. . . In fact, I think that makes them extra cool. Can't wait to share them, but it will have to wait until late summer.<br /><br />Anyway, congrats and thank you both so much!Dr. Oyolahttp://themiddlespaces.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-31322032736658163932015-06-16T22:10:57.087-05:002015-06-16T22:10:57.087-05:00Congratulations Doug & Karen for 6 wonderful y...Congratulations Doug & Karen for 6 wonderful years!

As ever with these things it is the people here that make it what it is.<br /><br />Where was I six years ago? Well, my comic collection was a lot smaller (about 3,500 comics compared to 7,500 comics now) and a lot of that has to do with the bronze age goodness discussed here. For a start I had never read original cosmic Starlin or Gerber's work outside of The Defenders before I came here. Thank you Doug, Karen and all the regular posters for the recommendations and hours of comic reading joy.ColinBrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995208182158761600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-70871154948995334832015-06-16T10:24:42.252-05:002015-06-16T10:24:42.252-05:00Congratulations from Berlin, Germany.

But the conspiracy of increased pressures at school, as well as family busy-ness, my auctions, etc. have really pulled me away from running the blog the way I'd like to. That's why I am so grateful that you and several others have stepped in to fill the void. <br /><br />I wrote up a review on Showcase #17 that will run next Monday. It was good and bad at the same time! Good, because it had been so long since I'd done that (plus it "made" me read about a character for which I've long held curiosity), but bad because I just felt like I should be doing something else, like helping my wife with wedding plans, etc. And that's been dogging me for several months. I don't like it, but that's where I am in life at this point.<br /><br />But I do need to make time to read comics on a more regular basis, even if that's just once a week. It's still a passion.<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.com
