Heart of the City by Steenz for December 30, 2024

Turns out reruns can also be collectibles.

What is it with reruns. Luann’s doing reruns as well?

“Whoa – how do you do that with your eyes?”

Pretty much every daily strip has a week or two of reruns every now and then. Tony Cochran takes this to the extreme; there hasn’t been a new Agnes strip since the end of 2022.

I wonder if there’s an in-universe version of Gen Con, that has any number of dealers buying and selling cards. Of course, this version doesn’t have the hassle of the housing lottery (all of the hotels within anything resembling walking distance to the convention center sell out within an hour) or the worry that the convention will sell out (“I’m sure they’ll sell badges on site…why are there ‘Gen Con Sold Out’ signs on every door?”).

I like games but have steadfastly avoided Magic: the Gathering. And Warhammer.

Heart has gone full toon.

Don’t do it, kid. They’ll only break your heart. And your bank account.

Whatever Heart wants to do will probably end bad. Trying to make money through cards will only lead to disaster.

Not really. Too many of the new ones out there. You need to have been in at the beginning to get any return out of collecting stuff like this.
