Not Sure Who Reads Zap Comics Anymore, But I'll Try to Ebay Them

Zap Comics

Hubster used to read these Zap comics back in the day. They are from 1967 and 1968 and were called Zap Comics drawn by a guy called R. Crumb, and apparently were published out in San Francisco.  They have glossy covers and newsprint on the inside, that has gotten a bit yellowed since then, but apparently they were all the rage back then.  I took a quick read through and didn't see the humor, but then again, I don't often find things funny that other people do -- maybe because I'm an immigrant and just don't get certain American things. So I bundled up some of these and posted them up on the Ebay site under my seller name Mugsim7 and am crossing my fingers hoping someone finds them interesting enough to buy, or off to the recycling bin they go!

Update:  I have now sold  many of these but have added the rest of the stash that hubster had, including Dr. Strange, Archie Comics, Checkered Demon, Justice League, Spiderman and others.  They all can be found on Ebay under seller mugsim7's stuff.  Some of them seem quite rare, but others seem less valuable.  Most are in fair to good shape with the exception of a few that have handling wear and one has parted the cover from the spine staples. I price them low as it really is time for other people to enjoy these.

Spray Painting Trash Into Treasure

Several months ago I picked out of the trash from the alleys around here a little round wooden table and a plant holder. I've been hanging on to them and nearly threw them back out again (nope, I'm not one of them TV hoarders!) except I got some pink spray paint recently on sale ($2 a can!) and just knew what to do with it. After a quick wipe down, over about three days I spray painted these items outside with about three coats of paint, letting them dry overnight.  I put these items out on my front porch to join the other colorful chairs and plants there.  I'm quite happy about this recycle-reuse activity as I really did need a little table on the porch for cups of tea and cookies and that plant really did need someplace to belong other than the floor. That's the trick to not being a hoarder, you just have to do something with it right away!
