Der Comix Purge of 2006

benchiladaFrom Friday night through Sunday evening, duosiceprincess (AKA: The ComiCutie(tm)) and I rummaged through 21 years of comix, most of which were mine, but several hundred of which have been given to me by the likes of Michael Hart whenever he or others find them at garage sales.
I've done a little purging before, but never like this. Sara mainly sat on the couch and read The Historian.
Movies Watched: Mr.Vampire, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Strange Days, and Enter the Dragon
Meals Eaten: Lai Lai Chinese (restaurant), El Toro Mexican (restaurant), Garcia's pizza (restaurant), cereal (home), pasta (home), Mirabelle pastries (home).
Total Glasses Bushmill's drunk: ~3
Total Raspberry Smirnoff Ices drunk: 12
Gross Longboxes Purged from My Collection: ~5 1/2
Total Longboxes "Gotten Rid of" (probably to be given to charity): ~4
Total Longboxesduosiceprincess took as payment: ~1 1/2
Ummm...I'm sure there are other stats, like how much sleep and how many times we went "Damn, is it really that late?!" but that's all I can think of just this second.
Bonus points for spotting / identifying / mocking comics seen in the pictures. There's some interesting stuff if you look closely. Go here if you want to be able to click the pics for bigger versions.
And now...
IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS CHAOS IN THE CORNER OF THE UPSTAIRS...
SOFAS ARE MOVED, TABLES SHOVED ASIDE, AND THE FIRST COMICS MAKE THE TRIP DOWN TO THE LIVING ROOM:
duosiceprincess (WHOSE SHIRT SHOWS HER ALLEGIANCE TO EVIL) ON THE RIGHT, SARA ON THE LEFT IN HER OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS "SLUG ON COUCH WHO READS THE HISTORIAN AND MOCKS ME FOR OWNING SO MANY COMICS":
ALL THE COMICS HAVE MADE IT DOWNSTAIRS:
FIRST LOOSE COMICS SORTED, DINING ROOM EAST WALL:
FIRST LOOSE COMICS SORTED, DINING ROOM WEST WALL:
PROGRESS IS MADE:
WHY SO MANY "D's"? DOCTOR STRANGE AND DAREDEVIL, OF COURSE!
duosiceprincess INEXPLICABLY POSES WITH A COMIC THAT HAS THE HIGH EVOLUTIONARY ON IT:
SARA RETURNS FROM SHOPPING, POSES WITHduosiceprincess, CAMERA MYSTERIOUSLY ADDS LINE AND SPOTS:
FIRST ITERATION OF THE "NOT KEEPING" PILE:
"MY PRECIOUSSSSSSS...GOLLUM! GOLLUM!":
SARA DOES NOT MAKE IT THROUGH RETURN OF THE KING:
SECOND ITERATION OF "NOT KEEPING PILE":
FINAL STACKS GET SORTED:
FINAL ITERATION OF "NOT KEEPING" PILE (ALL LOOSE STACKS AND ONE LONGBOX VISIBLE):
JAZZ HANDS AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND:
FINAL MOMENTS (MARY'S TAKE = 1 LONGBOX AND ONE BLUE "POW!" SHORTBOX):
Now all of my comics are sorted and alphabetized. Next step? Bagging and boarding all the ones that still need it. (Many comics I knew I would be keeping are already bagged and boarded in the longboxes by the fireplace. They will be transfered to shortboxes.).
ULTIMATE CONCLUSION: Sometimes...life is full of awesome.
