As I've said on here a few times before, I've never been a big fan of the Surfer, or (for some reason) of Allred's art, but the two of them were seriously made for each other.

Bah, I'll take books over laundry any day!

Same here. I'm nearly out of room, and not looking forward to telling Mrs. Marmoset that it's time to clear some more shelf space.

That's basically my opinion of pretty much every Big Annual Crossover ever.

Ha, that takes me back. "The Pond Scum" was a common nickname for the Mets in STL back then. (Just for maximum 80s-ness, I once heard somewhere that it was originally a line on Cheers.)

Ah, I love that one. Remember when Mel Gibson's "problem" supposedly was being too nice and likeable? It was a simpler time.

It's sort of funny, we Cardinals fans thought Albert Pujols was going to be that guy for us. Then we lost him to the Angels, and he was immediately overshadowed by your own golden boy Trout. Young as he is, it's hard to imagine Trout not going to Cooperstown

Along with any line about losing a hand or "some light treason"

Speak of the devil, this just popped up in my facebook feed:

I haven't read that one, but good to know, thanks.
