Episode 45 – Even more comic changes
For whatever reason, we have a long discussion on fashion. Nerd fashion. Yeah, I don’t know why that became a complete discussion today.
https://www.netflix.com/title/80241581 The Irregulars
The big topic today is the changes once again happening in the comic world. This time, Marvel has signed a deal with Penguin Random House to distribute their books. Not sure if this is good news for comic book shops or collectors.
We talk about some of our favorite comic book stores:

Adams Action Figures and Comics
We also love comixology and hoopla:

And so I select a pair of lounge pants and a shirt. And and I know I just like I said, I haven’t gotten to that point, if I have 10 white shirts and 10 black pants and you just choose the next one in a row. Right? Mind that.
Stephen 1:11Right? I always said when I was younger. As long as I have a pair of jeans, I don’t care what my shirt is because everything goes with a pair of jeans.
Alan 1:22You know what’s funny is all through college and African college. I wore jeans all the time. And then something just one day clicked over in me. And I said, you know, I’m going to try some Dockers because I don’t know, I don’t think I was going to like apply for a place that was of course the blue shirt and tan Dockers required uniform. But it’s at least I knew I’d be able to get other colors besides blue.
Stephen 1:43Right. And
Alan 1:44then also they wore very well. And I discovered that I liked him. So then I got you know, half my fault. The doctors didn’t fit me. And then I got half a dozen pairs of different colors. And I just kind of abandoned jeans. And especially when I started wanting to go on hikes. It was like well, I should have jeans on because they’re you know, invulnerable. You can get scraped on rocks and stuff. But then you read about cotton is rotten and should best be forgotten. And that, you know, jeans really are bad if you get wet because they will just suck the heat while they’re drying you where you’re drying them as a better way to put it. And so I don’t know now I have a couple pair, but I only kind of break them out when it’s I don’t even know it’s not like speci...
