Hey! Turkey!!

[zrath]

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I'd like to share with you all what is, for me, the quintessential Thanksgiving cartoon:
"Jerky Turkey" by Tex Avery.
See if you can catch all the WWII references!
The Looney Tunes are cool, but Tex Avery holds a very special place in my heart.


LOSCON is coming up this weekend and I will be there.
I'll probably be there Friday afternoon and evening, all day Saturday, and possibly Sunday as well.
theresamather is Artist Guest Of Honor this year, so I will be hanging out with her as much as I can!
Spino and Sweetie and Gizmo and Tadao and maybe Selene and other strange wild denizens of L.A. will be there too.
It's gonna a bitchin' funky disco time for all, by golly you betcha!
See you there if you're there!


In other news, the eBay auctioning continues.
I have several aircraft reference books (Squadron/Signal) up as well as my Furrlough comics collection.
And other stuff as well. I'm continually adding stuff as I have time. Click here to see what's currently up.

By the way, does anyone know a place that gives cash for used paperback books?


It's very late (or very early) and I must go to bed.
There will be turkey and veggies and other good stuff to eat when I next wake up.
And we got a French apple tart with French vanilla ice cream for dessert!
(I think the frozen tart was actually made in France! And the ice cream is Double Rainbow brand.)

Happy Tranqsgiving!!

I'm partial to Half Price Books (www.halfpricebooks.com), a chain started in Texas. I've never gotten rich selling books to them, (as per their namesake, they wind up selling everything that isn't rare and collectible at half cover or less, so the payout for paperbacks is generally weak,) but it's a nice alternative if you're looking to clear off bookshelf space. They tend to see me in the store most often to buy buy buy everything weird and wonderful.
According to their website, there are only three locations in all of Cali, which baffles me. If that's too far for you, you may want to try locally. There's bound to be other used bookstores with a similar business model.

And a happy tranq to you too!
