I was surprised when I looked up my old post that it's been nearly ten years since I filled in that gap. Time flies indeed. <br /><br />https://ripjaggerdojo.blogspot.com/search/label/Berni%20Wrightson?updated-max=2010-09-04T03:36:00-04:00&max-results=20&start=37&by-date=false<br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-74586199952168514242019-10-20T01:39:07.728+01:002019-10-20T01:39:07.728+01:00I'm not sure how that helium/chloroform mix wo...I'm not sure how that helium/chloroform mix would affect her over Skype, HS, when she's in my room laughing at you on the 'phone, but she's asked me to tell you not to call her anymore.

I tell myself I've probably just got the helium/chloroform mix slightly off but why that should make her point and laugh, I dunno...it's probably amazement or summat... <br />Has it occurred to ya that it's the thrill of the chase that keeps you clutching onto your perch? What if The second the final comic-shaped jigsaw piece is opened, your software beeps 'complete', and you peg out? <br />I'm convinced that it's the enthusiasm for, and the pursuit of this stuff that keeps us younger (and smarter) than the average bear! <br />Is a complete collection what we really want?<br /> <br /><br />Hackney Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-57920030167095586282019-10-20T00:12:43.630+01:002019-10-20T00:12:43.630+01:00Well, 'tis said it's better to travel hope...Well, 'tis said it's better to travel hopefully than to arrive, HS, but I think it's more awful to have incomplete sets than complete ones. If I completed everything, I could then sit back and enjoy it all. I don't want to get the final comic I need to complete a series, only to fall off the twig the next day. I want to have everything for ever such a long time before I pop my clogs - an event which I'm hoping won't actually ever happen. (It pays to be positive - I hope.)<br /><br />By the way, I asked Sybil - she just laughed.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-48268228707831842452019-10-19T23:35:30.377+01:002019-10-19T23:35:30.377+01:00My needs are relatively modest - ask Sybil - there...My needs are relatively modest - ask Sybil - there's one issue and a special of Twisted Tales I need for the set. A set that I'd love that doesn't fall within your question (cos I wasn't a teenager but a 7 year old) is Fleisher's run on the Spectre in Adventure. I know they were reprinted as Wrath of the Spectre, but I loved the 7 Soldiers of Victory back-ups too. The obvious question is, "Well why don't you just go and buy 'em then?", and I don't have an excuse. Maybe having something missing is important? (Don't ask Sybil!). I think it'd be awful feeling if you completed everything and only had new stuff to look forward to... Hackney Stevenoreply@blogger.com
