Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for June 27, 2024

I have all of the Burger King LOTR goblets. Been sitting in my basement storage for almost a quarter century in perfect condition. My family has fallen on hard times recently. Thought I would sell the entire set for a mint. No dice. Would never get more than $100 for them. Fuggit, I’ll keep ’em.

Don’t take it too hard, Bob; the figures available today are probably way more detailed, and about 20x more expensive.

As someone who collects vinyl records, I feel seen.

My collection of Bone figures are boxed & await their ebay postings, but i’m keeping The Maxx & the izs.

I had all of the original Star Trek paperbacks. Not worth much but I enjoyed the collecting.

..hope he doesn’t have kids, otherwise Bob is just making their lives harder at some point..

“I must have it! I must acquire… My Precious…”

I’m still looking for a Fargo snow globe – Wood Chipper edition! I can find them but I don’t wanna spend quite THAT much!

I’m incapable of being a collector. I love records. I could never collect rare ones because what I really want to do is play them.

Next-to-last panel:

Not “clear,” but “out”! d;o)

Beware of the shadow of the counterfeit copy.
