Why is this episode 544 when the last episode was 546? Because Cory!! is a doofus who skipped 544. He’s a mess, ladies and gentlemen. He also had a surprise day off during the week when Joe had a day off, so they piled into a car and went to all the comic shops they could squeeze into a single day! This discussion includes:

• Comics in a investor bubble
• Books that will be scarce.
• They discuss shops they would have gone to if the weather wasn’t going to turn on them during the day
• Memories of Antiques Minnesota
• What are comics buyer’s clubs?
• The garage comic shop Cory found in Canton Illinois
• Stores from the Juvenile Justice Group home Cory!! used to work at

All of this, Joe’s road rage, and much, much more!

It’s been a while since we just talked comics, and Krayz Joe Rider has a list of topics that are worth discussing but not long enough for an entire episode. It also allows the discussion to wander afield, go down rabbit holes, and show all of the weird connections Cory!! makes about things. So, this week, they discuss:

• Joe will be headed to Mankado for a store signing at Pulp comics. He won’t be signing, but I would imagine if you wanted him to sign stuff, he would.
• Uncle Hugo’s SF bookstore in Minneapolis has found a new location and will be rising from the ashes.
• The comic Marry Me being turned into a movie.
• Cory!! talks about other podcasts he listens to.
• They discuss the passing of writer/editor Bryan Augustyn.
• The Image Timeline comic
• Why they watch stupid stuff on YouTube
• The way fans reject books because they don’t know the creators.
• Shipping delays because of weather and angry Canadians.

All of this, the usual shenanigans, and much, much more!
