Free Comic Book Day – tomorrow

The: itty bittys Snoopy the Flying Ace Stuffed Animal and Storybook Set is now for sale at half off from Hallmark’s online store.

Free Comic Book – three lovely words
Free Comic Book Day is coming up this Saturday, and once again comic shops across the English-speaking world will be giving away free comic books. Some comic shops will only let you have one, some will give you a good fistfull… but hey, any free comics are great. There’s no …
Not to discount religion, but…
Discounts are my religion! I was just about to post about the upcoming release of a paperback edition of A Charlie Brown Religion, Stephen Lind’s deep dive into Schulz’s religiosity, when I discovered that Amazon has a few copies of the hardcover edition at 67% off the list price, or about …
