RTT: Comics and Puppets

So, we are a dork family. Just putting it out there, most of you already knew. This past Saturday, we made a trip to the comic book store and spent two hours there. First off, the store is five minutes away. Second, we just wanted to see what it was like. Third, it is not a big store. MJ even was interested in the displays. Muppet's Animal, Kermit, and Gonzo (full size)-to name a few. We only left with light up Green Lantern rings and mini-comics, because Roy and Bubba were too overwhelmed as to which comic to get. They will go again soon.
We found out that we have a Comic Con down here - it is not well publicized. Southern Fried Mississippi Comic Convention - I think the name is genius. We are looking forward to it and are even going to dress up, since it will be in October and the costumes will double for Halloween too.
One of the shop keepers (we don't know if he owns it or just hangs out there all the time) actually works for PBS Mississippi and was part of the crew that worked with the Puppeteers of "Between the Lions". Great show. I had no idea that was taped in MS. They have now moved to NY, since it is more cartoon than puppets.
Speaking of puppets and Muppets - can't wait for the new Muppet Movie! Saw a preview the other day - Fozzie wears fart shoes. LOL!!!

Isn't it surprising what rural southern cities have to offer. Who would have guessed?

We're comic dorks too. Well, me moreso than my husband but my oldest (4) loves comic books, even though he can't read. It's gonna be awesome when the kids are old enough to really read them. Happy RTT!

I liked comics as a kid, but haven't looked at one in years. It's okay, if you're a comic dork. It's good to be dorky about something. =D

Turbo is discovering the joy of comic books.
I think I'd like looking around a store like that.

Love the new site look! John is not into comics, will probably never be, and Sprite is so girly girl that unless we have a boy and he decides not to join the ranks of the technogeek in charge, we will never know what comic fans are like. :-)
