Another Weird Gift From My Brother
My brother Bryan gave me this generous gift for my birthday. It is a plastic piggy bank. The little swine is on his back and soccer ball is obscenely placed.
To make matters even more utterly delightful, Bryan once again altered the Goodwill price tag in order to elevate the value of his gift. Also, the thing is covered with a fine petina of some gross, oily, sticky substance.
Charming.
But hey, at least I got 14 cents and a slug out of the deal when I opened it up.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Macbeth
"I have liv'd long enough: my way of life
Is fall'n into the sear, the yellow leaf;
And that which should accompany old age,
As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends,
I must not look to have; but, in their stead,
Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath,
Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not."

Perhaps now that Washington State has legalized pot, this spot could be a retail store for that purpose!
$175 - Original Art - Slim Chance and Fat Fate
Set in Eastern Washington State, the visual metamorphosis tale includes Mukey the Mutant Membrane, porcupines, Orville, Thelma, a Morty the Dog coin, a deranged Mr. Zip, truck drivers, and the Acme Correspondence School of Bullfighting.
Felt tip on nonphoto blue, heavy stock paper is uneven, generally measuring 12 x 9.5 in. Seven pages. Some slight discoloration on the top non-art margins of p. 1-2. Page 1 title is actually taped on, which is strange since it doesn't appear to be covering anything. I detect a small amount of whiteout on page 5, panel 6.
$175 ppd.

A pair of perfectly nice shoes left neatly at the side of the road
Bay Center, Washington
Morty Comix # 2467
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
The book was then returned to the shelves of the Sou'wester in Seaview, Washington
