I Like What You Got! (LCS Finds) šŸ”Ž

Ah gotcha. I googled the previews and they didn’t tell me anything important. Thanks!

Not to be the Cliff Clavin of the forum, but #16 is 1st Embo correct? :slight_smile:
I’m not sure who Bento is or is he another 1st in there as well?

Oh sorry. My lack of real care for Embo is showing. Hahaha. He’s a cool character, but I’ve just never paid him much mind. Sorry, yes I meant Embo.

That’s my copy right wooky? :smile:

It was, but wouldn’t you know it, I lost it in my basement as soon as I got it home! Nuts. I’ll look out for another one for ya.

In all honesty I found the #16 cover B in the out-of-the-way all ages back issue box and just asked the owner if he had more in the back. He came back with one more cover A for #7 and Cover A for #16. So, there you go. I have 3 copies of #7 now. According to his search, I cleaned him out. If he restocks, I’ll grab one and let you know.

Ah! Now that I have my Cover A and B set, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for ya.

Thank you

My turn to play Clavin…

ā€œTo keep one’s eyes peeled dates back to the 1820s in Britain, when Sir Robert Peel established the first organised police force. The officers were known as 'peelers, or ā€˜bobbies’.ā€

1820s in Britain

My turn to play Clavin…

" ā€œBritainā€ comes from Latin: Britannia~Brittania , via Old French Bretaigne and Middle English Breteyne , possibly influenced by Old English Bryten(lond) , probably also from Latin Brittania , ultimately an adaptation of the Common Brittonic name for the island, *PritanÄ« .[1][2]

An early written reference to the British Isles may derive from the works of the Greek explorer Pytheas of Massalia; later Greek writers such as Diodorus of Sicily and Strabo who quote Pytheas’ use of variants such as Πρεττανική ( Prettanikē ), ā€œThe Britannic [land, island]ā€, and nēsoi brettaniai , ā€œBritannic islandsā€, with ** Pretani* being a Celtic word that might mean ā€œthe painted onesā€ or ā€œthe tattooed folkā€, referring to body decoration (see below).[3]

The modern Welsh name for the island is (Ynys) Prydain . This may demonstrate that the original Common Brittonic form had initial P- not B- (which would give ** Brydain ) and -t- not -tt- (else ** Prythain ). This may be explained as containing a stem * prit- (Welsh pryd , Old Irish cruith ; < Proto-Celtic ** kwrit-* ), meaning ā€œshape, formā€, combined with an adjectival suffix. This leaves us with * PritanÄ«"

@drunkwooky… Where did you find a SM2099 #1 for cover? 1992?

Haha. I knew somebody would bring that up. I was saving time saying they were all for cover. That copy was $5.00. So, approximately cover if adjusted for inflation and price hikes since 1992.
