So I have these comics…

This could take a while

To be almost exact I have about 2 and a half thousand of them. They date back to 1977, and I have every single issue Of the weekly copy of 2000ad.

Ever heard of Judge Dredd? Well it’s the one where you’ll find him.

I started reading when I was young and when I got the chance to buy all of the collection I did so about 18 years ago, and now I’ve continued to buy it every week.

But here is the thing, I’ve not actually read them all. So, I have decided that every single day as much as I can, I’m going to read 7 of them, and if I have any luck in about a year and a year I will have read every single one of them.

I realize it’s pretty ambitious and I’ll probably fall short but I think they deserve to be read again from the beginning so that is my intention.

Oh and when I read them my intention is to pop each one of them in a protective little bag and slot in a backboard and do my best to preserve them for as long as possible.

Actually I think that’s going to cost a bloody fortune. Oh well.

  4. I signed up for an AARP ( American Association of Retired Persons) membership when I turned 50 (I am now 67) … you could get a 25% discount on your cellphone bill at that time. So, every month you get a magazine. I put them away, then I threw 10 years of them out saying “this stuff is tale and I’m not retired!” So I still have about seven years of them, spilling out of a box, the bookcase … will I read them is anyone’s guess.
