I wish this was the norm and not the exception.
An Indiana prison allows some residents to raise kittens thanks to a partnership with a cat shelter.

Damn. Pretty sure that since the last CLZ update my database is corrupted and I will need to rescan my entire collection. Finding way too many missing issues of runs I know I have.

Tried to post these on Saturday but the ‘vibe coding’ was already starting to set in.

This was at Graham Crackers in Madison WI.

I found a nice stash of Graphic Novels, magazines, and some nice Atlas books.

Awesome day exploring shops in Minneapolis.

Time Bomb Vintage, Nostalgia Zone and Extreme Noise Punk Rock.

I managed to close out a few runs with this one shop. Way too much to explore beyond comics. Movie novelizations, underground comics, classic magazines.

Clyde’s Comic and Fantasy Shop. We spent over an hour talking with @newnajar.bsky.social while he happily dug through long boxes looking for books for us. If you are looking for small press and indie titles there is a good chance he’s got it.

Holy Hell! Folks, this might be a one stop shop if you are into books, records, and comics.

Toad Road Records.

What an amazing shop. There is a ton of comics, and an indescribable amount of vinyl.

This is a must stop shop.

Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word.

It means they learned it by reading.
