If you need a hand sussing out what numbers seem right, let me know; like anything else online, there’s a lot of junky / predatory noise. I’m getting ready to sell some too, and it looks like other than specific valuable issues like first appearances, grouping together longer runs may be best?

Most shops are probably just going to look on eBay—maybe at an Overstreet guide (I’ve never even cracked one open myself though so I don’t know how close to reality that is; I suspect it’s more useful for graded books).

In general, your best indicator if you want to comics yourself is to see what they’re going for online and price around the median price. Most comic shops are going to do exactly that and maybe pay you maybe half of that number for the issue to buy it to resell themselves.

I’d also probably pass. I switched to one I could program with shortcuts a couple of years ago to make editing easier, and I have never looked back.

Part 1 of 4

A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air. 

This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly.

Part 2 of 4

Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is.
Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek.

Part 4 of 4

Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi.
 
Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there.

“Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?”

That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

Seconding the Mini to add this—snag extra RAM; the cost should still be lower by far, and the extra power will help give it longer legs. I think the M4 Mini starts with more RAM than previous models, too.

For most sites, add them to my browser’s Reading List. If it’s something I check multiple times a day, I’ll pin the tab or add it to mg bookmark bar (both of these options are quite uncommon).

I’ve often had to log out and back into my Apple ID on the old device when adding a new device to it for iMessage to sync correctly. That usually fixes it for me.

Your ice cream makers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should make Nacho Cheese Doritos ice cream.

I’m never going to win awards for my cake decorating abilities, but this cake I baked over the weekend for my grandmother’s birthday is probably one of the best I’ve ever made.

Maybe Google should just add “That’s a rock fact!” to each search result.

Every time I hear Dua Lipa’s “Houdini,” my brain jumps to a bunch of Jawas singing in astonishment, “Utinni!”

I definitely just read the dialogue like this:

It is a much more streamlined experience, which I like for how much space it gives supporting characters to shine.

It’s actually the entry that made me hope they’ll move away from the extended edition re-release model. I think a slightly shorter Persona 5 and a direct sequel that gave the Royal content more space would have been more my speed.

A great game, but in need of some script edits.

Honestly P5R is such a huge game (maybe too big, IMO), I figured some time between it and Reload made a lot of sense.

2024 has somehow become the year of the RPG, and I’m here for it.

Between Reload, Rebirth, and this fall Metaphor: ReFantazio most of my year is RPGs with Re— in the title. I don’t stand a chance at being coherent.

Right?! I’m so glad you found the time to get to it before Reload.

That’s the perfect punchline, but I feel like there are no wrong answers—after all, who is better at talking with hands in their mouths than Muppets?

Have you ever taken the time to find out who your dentist’s favorite Muppet is?
