Last week I got an email from a prospective new customer for All New Comics asking what condition our comics come in. My business partner Peter prides himself on the way he ships stuff, he puts each comic in a bag and board, wraps a bunch of them together in a bag, puts that bag… Continue reading The Most Valuable Comics I Own

What’s So Great About Being A Dad?
I wrote this for “The Mom and Caregiver” magazine this month, and thought that it would be fun to post it to my site as a Father’s Day tribute. A father’s role has changed a ton in the past several decades. The rise of feminism has resulted in some pretty great things, like a much… Continue reading What’s So Great About Being A Dad?
What our children think of GM
Kaylin on the future of GM from Brian Garside on Vimeo I spent some time last night speaking to my children about GM’s recent decision to declare bankruptcy, leaving them with a nice fat $10 billion dollar 12% investment in what was already a useless company. Heaven forbid that our government had taken that $10… Continue reading What our children think of GM
What it’s like to have kids
Charlene sent me an article recently on what it’s like to be a stay at home mom, and it got me thinking, I’ve figured out a lot of little analogies that help put some perspective on what it’s like to have little kids rolling around the house.

Holy SNOW Batman!
Now that’s a load of snow. The picture you see above is our back yard on Sunday with Kaylin and I standing. The snow’s up to her shoulders, and up to my waist. Now admittedly this is in a drift in the back yard, but it was still huge. In around 24 hours we had… Continue reading Holy SNOW Batman!
