Big Boys Don't Cry

Not the one sold but probably very similar.

The Bob's Big Boy Restaurant about a mile from me closed recently, possibly because I hadn't eaten there for more than twenty years. So what, you may be wondering, happened to the signature Big Boy statue that was displayed at the eatery? Answer: It was just sold on eBay.

I'm sorry I didn't know about in time. Next month is the birthday of my longtime friend, Scott Shaw! This would have been the perfect gift for him…assuming he doesn't already have a couple of 'em.

And hey, speaking of Scott: Over on his Oddball Comics website, he's currently featuring one of the oddest Marvel Comics ever done. You know how back when comics had the cheapest possible reproduction, we used to remark that they were printed on toilet paper? Well, sometimes they really were.
