Okay, I admit it… Marc’s wallet could easily be MY wallet. Guys like to kid women about all the junk that’s in their purses but how many of us guys are just as guilty of hording pieces of paper, business cards, coupons or even sports game ticket stubs in our wallets only to find them years later when our wallet has become too unbearable to sit on or fold?
C’mon now… raise your hand, guys. You KNOW you’ve been there! So just remember that the next time you’re giving your female significant other some ribbing about having too much stuff in her purse. 
On another subject, if you’re a fan of the great web comic called PC Weenies and you read the “Bogus Buy” that’s mentioned in today’s strip and wondered if that was the same store that’s also in PC Weenies well… it is. On Wednesday, Bob Weiner will show up in this strip (even though he doesn’t technically work at Bogus Buy any more in the PC Weenie strip).
So if you are a fan of Krishna’s work, why don’t you send him an e-mail, Twit or post a comment on his blog letting him know PC Weenies will be featured in Capes & Babes just like Dewey and Mel were from Unshelved (and after you read Friday’s strip, you’ll know exactly what I mean).
And lastly, my wife and I had a blast on our 17th anniversary. Judi especially had a great time watching me make a fool of myself as I passed my BRAND NEW POSTCARDS out to anyone and everyone that was walking in the lobby of the Regal Cinema 20 theaters in Midlothian, Virginia. Midlothian is about 12 miles outside of Richmond. We also saw the 10:00pm show and talked about it in great deal as we drove home and finally got home at 3:00am. Judi’s never read Watchmen but I have. I won’t go into a full movie review here but I thought it was an excellent portrayal of the book and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I decided to re-print one of my favorite “CMX Suite” strips from Community MX. This special Sunday strip originally ran in September 2006. For those of you that might not be aware, I also do a weekly comic strip for the web site, Community MX, that runs on the home page of that site every Tuesday.

How many of you all are planning on seeing “Watchmen” Friday night? Well, if you’re in the Richmond, Virginia area – specifically the Regal Cinema 20 theaters to be precise – thanks to Lee, the manager of that theater, I will be passing out Capes & Babes postcards and fliers with my wife in the lobby until I am completely out of material to give away.
I met Lee at the Virginia Comicon a week or so ago and after a really great conversation, he invited me to give away some of my promotional material before the movie.
Now, all of that sounds pretty great, doesn’t it? Well, it gets even better than that because, you see, not only will I be doing this Friday night but I will finally be able to get to share some of my Capes & Babes experiences with my wife. On our wedding anniversary.
Okay, okay… it’s not “technically” our wedding anniversary. Truthfully, our anniversary is the NEXT night but it sounds so much better if we just pretend March 6th is our REAL anniversary as opposed to March 7th. And no, I’m not going to tell you how many years we’ve been together except to say that it’s now in the double digits.
The thing is, we both love super hero movies so this will be a treat for both of us. One of the things I sometimes envy when I go to cons is seeing a boyfriend and girlfriend or a husband and wife team together to sell stuff at a con because I know that would be something my wife would probably really enjoy. For those of you out there that do go to cons with your partner, I hope you realize how special it is to share those moments with one another – whether you’re the artist or the “support team”.
When we were younger, my wife and I did travel and do a lot of things together. In fact, she quite often traveled with me whenever I played in a baseball tournaments all over Virginia. That was a lot of fun traveling with her and I’m sure she would love to experience the convention atmosphere as I have experienced it all last year seeing as she spent one summer working in a comic book shop. I think that’s one of the reasons I think we both enjoy watching superhero movies together.
It’s also just one more reason why I am so looking forward to Friday night.
So thank you for the invitation, Lee. It really does mean a lot.
