Happy thanksgiving! My comic book store is moving to a temporary space in a antique mall, the old building is getting demolished. Future is uncertain for Old Bill but he refuses to die!

I try not to double post here what I'm already covering on other socials, you may have seen the turkey video already. That day, a friend brought over his family's signature sauce, or chutney, or something, called sambal. I'm not sure, but it's reddish pink and it seems to be mostly caramelized onions and peppers. It's really good! Speaking of cross posting, my Fantasy Football team is "regional sandwiches", inspired by my own blog. Often I update my football profile picture with a new regional sandwich, and I'm choosing to count these sambal hotdogs. I think I'll google that word tonight and see what that's all about. His family is Australian? Not sure if that will play a role in sambal's history.

These are #44 and #45 for my July 4th to July 4th hotdog counting experiment

I’m making this post from the parking lot of Fantastic Four: First Steps. It was actually pretty good! The characters were done well, they skipped the redundant origin story, and the world had a consistent aesthetic with great props. It was refreshing to hear a Marvel movie with an original soundtrack and score that fit the specific feel of the movie instead of generic action hero tones. Really impressed with how they handled Galactus, a planet sized threat, without making the movie too goofy. Actually, it was exactly goofy enough when it needed to be.
