OK, it really isn't the phone book, but well, as it turns out, Marvel Comics collected all of the Spidey entries from the first volume of The Official Index to the Marvel Universe into a bound volume and issued them as a softcover edition. (To be sure, they also collected Iron Man & the X-Men, but I didn’t contribute to those entries, so I care less about them, as you could guess.)

I'm mentioning it now because, well, I just got my (comp) copies (two of ‘em!) today, so I’m pretty pumped. Further, if I had realized that Marvel was going to issued them as a book, I probably would have contributed entries to the other series as well (Iron Man & X-Men), that way I would have gotten my name in the other volumes as well. Needless to say, for the second series (out now) I’m contributing to not on the Captain America entries, but to the Thor entries as well (Maybe I should do a couple of Avenger entries just so I can get that book when it comes out as well, eh?)

OK, enough fooling around, back to writing my Thor entries for Volume #2.

If you wanted a copy of your own, you can always score one from Amazon.

OK, I like comics, I mean that I really like comics. In fact, I like comics so much that, well I have some 20,000 comics and countless comicbook-related toys, games, items of clothing, and assorted other comic-related crap (much of it adorning my office), but even I know where to draw the line. Not this guy...

I think that before I discovered funnybooks, I was a fan of syndicated comics in the newspaper. I totally love it when these two worlds collide, as they did this week in Foxtrot. I already posted this on my funnybook site (and showed it to Walt), but since there is a sly tech side to this gag, I wanted to re-post it here. The real gag isn't obvious (I actually had to point it out to Walt), but it is there, and it is hilarious, so take your time.

Yeah, while we did laugh after seeing this vid. we were already pretty well pasted at the time.

Now where the heck did I leave my gun?

Did you ever think about trying to get from your front door and up a flight of stairs down the hall and into your room without touching the floor?

You know, like the floor was a molten pit of lava?

I mean, what's it like to be Peter Parker's roommate?

That’s right, I managed to score a web-load of Spidey-related gifts for Christmas. Some of you might think this is very lame or even geeky, and perhaps it is both, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Oh yeah, everything was wrapped in Spidey Christmas paper, and I even got the extra Spidey paper as an additional gift!

How cool is that? If you want to see all of the wicked-cool Spidey gifts I got, you can jump here.
