There's got to be at least one comics nerd on here. Someone explain to me what all these old comics are supposed to be, and why they all have me in them. And before you say "just google it," I did and I couldn't find anything. I have no idea where Retrospec dug these up from. Also, I've got one free ticket to the shooting range I'm willing to share. The only catch is you have to be 18+ and willing to take me too. Let me know if you're interested.

((To view the comics in larger size/more detail, click here. There was no way i was gonna manage to embed that in a DW post. EDIT: also i added a bit to this post at 4/17 11:38 EST because I was a dumbass who forgot to include it originally, sorry for any possible confusion! ))

Part of how I earn my bread is appraisal of artwork. I can determine many things about any given medium by examining it with the proper tools.

[frostythehitman]

Have you ever examined any comics before?

[liberal_arts]

I have, actually. Everything from nearly priceless collectibles to the occasional tijuana bible.

[frostythehitman]

So wait, you can actually carbon-date it?

I was just joking about that earlier.

[liberal_arts]

I probably won't need to. I can tell its age through other factors.

[frostythehitman]

Well damn. I guess we'll find out if these really are from the 40s.

When do you want to make this happen?

[liberal_arts]

Sometime after the shelter's gala will likely be best, as I'm very busy leading up to that.

[frostythehitman]

How's about a few weeks after that? I've got a lot of stuff going on then too.
