    Oh, wow, didn’t Dead Skunkhead John knock that one out of the park! (For those who don’t know, that’s a Funky Winkerbean reference. May as well get used to those as Crankshaft fades into the night.)

    This is garbage. Its just Tom talking to Tom, telling Tom how hilarious Tom is. “LOL” This is garbage; explain why it isn’t.

    So, an omnibus collection of The Atom—the fourth hero DC revived in the Silver Age, star of his own series throughout the ’60s, and a member of the Justice League of America—marks the end of S.A. “strip mining”? I think that day will come when they put out omnibuses for Ultra the Multi-Alien, Millie the Model, Little Lotta in Foodland, and The Adventures of Bob Hope.

    Oh, and DSH John? Most comics aficionados already recognize this as the Modern Age, following Platinum, Golden, Silver, Bronze and Copper.

    Not just on the internet, but pretty much everywhere, today is the ad age.

    Omnibus collection? What? I’m supposed to know what that is? No I will not do a search. Enough obscure comic book references. It was bad enough when Funky disappeared for weeks in his strip. Now we hardly ever see Cranky and when he is featured he is not allowed to speak. I try (I think) to poke fun here without being mean …. but ….. Oh well ….. Nuts!

    So did Skunkhead take the time to move that K-2SO statue back there between yesterday’s strip and today’s, or does he have two of them? Because there’s no way the one we saw yesterday could be in the same spot as the one we’re seeing today. I guess Davis is really proud of that particular art swipe and wants to show it off as much as possible?

    Where’s Mitch? I haven’t seen him since he entered the store.

    Here’s hoping he takes after his Great-Grandfather, Ed Crankshaft, and has started a fire.

    Shouldn’t Jeff be mocking Mitch about his lack of knowledge of comic books in front of Dead Skunkhead? Or is that behavior reserved for the women folk, i.e., Pam?

    The fifties were the Golden Age of Comics for me, and the majority of the sixties. Then came war and service, and I put away my toys. until I turned 50 and Dark Horse comics for Staar Trek

    So are we going to get six days of comic trivia rambling ending with a “joke” calling themselves old? Sounds awesome.

    In the good old ‘Funky Winkerbean’ days on the Comics Kingdom, we used to ridicule the hand gesture Dead Skunkhead made in the third panel. Is he pointing up because “He’s making a point”? Is Dan Davis stealing Chuck Ayers’ artwork from ‘Funky Winkerbean’?

    Does anybody here point up when they’re making a point in real life? A goofy thing to do, if you ask me.

    There have been multiple reboots of the DC continuum, Marvel, at least two. Maybe they’ll call it age of confusion.
