I’m going to have to say that this make Cheerios seem more delicious to me. Agree or disagree?

Yes, I still need a backpack.

Daytripper

Despite some of the storyline holes and weaknesses in some of the character development, I really liked The Umbrella Academy. One of my favorite parts of the series was definitely the artwork of Gabriel Ba. Now Gabriel and his twin brother, Fabio Moon have formed a Brazilian duo to write and illustrate a new series for Vertigo called Daytripper. I will be picking up issue #1 today on my lunch break.

Winter Embrace

Most likely due to a combination of it being past Thanksgiving, slightly colder temperatures, Home Alone viewing and the fact that today is December 1st; I find myself longing for snow. Surely, it will change after having it here for more than a week or two, but right now, snow and snow boots and hot cocoa and fire places and whiskey and movies and record players and late nights with the frigid wind rattling your window panes, nothing sounds better.

…but then I see a photo like this and almost change my mind…

BKs

Apparently British Knights decided to start making shoes again….and I really, really like them. They offer some really dope cuts in a couple different models. Clean, simple, understated, and classy. Just like a BK should be.

“Man, listen, I would just appreciate it if both of y’all would take your shoes off. This is brand-new carpet. You’re tracking mud in here. Matheson, you got British Knights on. I ain’t seen anybody wear them since 1987.”

Delicious Gettry Bearbrick

It is sad when even a toy fashioned after a hamburger can make you hungry. This Medicom Bearbrick from Gettry is awesome.

International Matchbox

I stumbled across some pictures of old matchbox covers from all over the world a little while back and was completely enthralled by the artistic style of it all. I was also intrigued by the imagery of what was all on the covers as it ranged from dragons, to King Kong, to stuffed teddy bears, to missiles and even a Pegasus. The style of the art with the gradient color tones, so good.
