Big discount, Calvin & Hobbes, four hours only

I know a lot of you are comics fans in general, and here’s a good but very-limited-time offer — the $150 Complete Calvin and Hobbes boxed set is 47% off (usually, it’s 37% off… so that’s another $15 in savings. Click here, then click on the View Gold Box offer button in the upper right (if it’s not there, you’re too late), then on the Add to Cart button under the picture of the boxed set. They didn’t used to offer free shipping with this set, but apparently now they do. A nice big block of fine comics for putting under someone’s tree. Or giving for Christmas!

Also at 47% off at the moment: The Complete Dennis the Menace volume 4.

Don’t worry, I’m working on something cool and Peanuts that I hope to get up later today. I just wanted to show you that bargain while it was still available.

(Addendum: I had originally mismarked the C&H sale as 1 hour instead of 4. Sorry!)
