attention all comic book fans! it's that time again ~

tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day again! ~

in that spirit i'll be focusing on comic books for awhile here at the lost & found ~

if you've never been you should get out this year to your nearest comic book store & get a handful of free comics ~

there's always something for everyone so bring your kids ~

now i'm not really a superhero fan so i'll leave that to the guys who know about them ~

i'm more of a gothbox trawler ~

like last year i'll be hitting cosmic monkey in portland & i like comics in vancouver washington ~

maybe i'll see you out there ~

flashback friday favorite ~ wednesday addams

toxic is a nickname i gave to my inner child, & she's always wanted to dress as wednesday addams for halloween ~

well since i couldn't figure an easy way for her to do that this year (you know at my age wrestling that candy away from neighbors gets more & more challenging..) we decided to dress up penny, our american girl ~

so this dollscape is the latest of my twisted toy tales i suppose ~

inspired by an original addams family episode ~

it includes wednesday's doll graveyard of course ~

& wednesday in braids & black dress ~

i've posted original addams family items before here at the lost & found ~

they're an old favorite at our house ~

toxic's favorite episode was the one where wednesday decides to run away from home ~

she leaves a note: dear mother & father, i hate you, don't look for me because i'm not anywhere. ~

here's a card i made for mr dad on our last anniversary.. i think we're altogether ooky ~

p.s. now i'm off to comicfest 2016!

update:

today's haul ~

this has been a flashback friday favorite post from halloween time of 2016 ~
