For some reason my mind wanders to those old Private Eye movies where the stencil guy is putting up the gumshoes name on the door to the office. “Jay and Walt – listers for hire”, doesn’t quite have that ring…

What’s the date today? OK, November 20th 2023. This is what the “Toy Room” looks like at the new warehouse. I’ll take a picture at this angle at a future date, say mid-January, just to see how things are progressing.…

I know a guy who set up at the Toronto Comic Book Show on Sunday: my guy brought good stuff and was hoping to do a few thousand in business to help his cause. He reports that the show was…
