Beau is preparing to dive in.
Beau Smith is Old As Dirt and proud of it. Being Old As Dirt, Beau happily shares the knowledge he has acquired over the years. This time, he shares the joys and rules (yes, there are rules) of looking through long boxes at shops and conventions.
This is what happens when stacks of comics boxes get wet — the bottom box collapses under the weight. Especially painful is that box marked Westfield Newsletter. Those are all the issues I edited and mostly wrote.
Welcome back to the continuing story of a quack who’s gone to the…. No, wait. That’s something else. This is the continuing story of KC Carlson and his flood damaged comics.

Boy Reading Comics from Friends magazine August 1959

I’m writing this column mostly on the road, as my wife and I just spent the last week in Walt Disney World, one of those rare places on the planet that seems to exist just outside of reality, and not always for the best reasons. I won’t go into all the sociopolitical aspects of this – there are plenty of books and websites that discuss this endlessly. But since a certain – usually large – portion of my life for the last 40+ years has involved comic books in some way, it’s interesting to report that, except for a handful of Boom! Studios Muppet Show comic books (and good for Boom!) in the Muppets Store, comic books do not exist in Walt Disney World.
