Trick or Treat

It's getting to be that time of year!  We are getting a blast of Fall weather this weekend :)

More giant size Kirby!

Love this!  Humongous Jack Kirby...clean and brightly colored :)

Jiffy Pop Presto pop Popcorn!

Remember popping popcorn like this?  It was an event to remember for sure...

Jr's Hot Dogs updated their sign. Oak Lawn, IL

Who doesn't love Jr's Hot Dogs?  I have been going since they opened a small, wood shack in Alsip, IL. We rode our bikes up there for a 15 cent slushie.  I am lucky to have the best one at the end of my block :)

Allan Mirchin



Thanks to our friend Fred Clemens for pointing out a few facts about ALLAN MIRCHIN :) He recorded and dubbed Burl Ives Songs and Dialogue in 1964, for Rankin/Bass' Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer at his Aura studios in New York City. His first name was also mis-spelled in the 1965 credits that remain on today's print of the special. His first name was also mis-spelled in the 1964 credits too.

This is THE Burger King...they never should have changed the design!

This was the king voiced by my late friend Allen Swift.  What a great design!  Someone made a horrible decision by losing this design and going with that masked live action character.

They have some Amazing things at Amazing Fantasy books and comics in Tinley park, IL

What a book store/comic book store should be but often isn't!  Something here for everyone!

JUDY CARNE R.I.P.



Sorry to hear about Judy today as well!   Wish LOVE ON A ROOFTOP would come out on DVD...never saw it in syndication and heard some of the music from it and really liked it!

Hardcover Edition of THE ARTHUR RANKIN, JR. SCRAPBOOK w/ R/B Biographer/...

Happy Laboe Day! Enjoy!

www.miserbros.com   We wanted to do something special for the day!  Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday!

Martin Milner R. I. P.


So sorry to hear about Martin Milner's passing.  One of my favorite actors and good in so many things.   I believe he was one of the first actors to act with James Dean on television.  Also one of the few to have two very successful series on television.  A great!

Labor day Kirby fun! Happy Labor day!

The way comic art was meant to be!  Clean! Colorful!  Well drawn with heart!

Someone is missing this Labor day weekend 2015!

Always would time in to see how Jerry was doing and see what was up with MDA...One of my favorites!
