A little while back Tammy came up with a link to a gallery of advertising shots, mostly from the 1940s and '50s. The approach was often well over the top and open to reinterpretations.
Here are some of mine.

Do I need to re-caption this?
I wouldn't suggest any travel plans for the morning... and make sure you have something to read.

It would be bad taste to serve these to lepers.

"...Coke drinking bastards"? I got a belly laugh out of the HBO version.

Holy crap, dude. Funny stuff. Gotta make you a regular stop from now on.
So much else calling out for attention, and with watchables already piled up, finding even more things to watch doesn't seem like much of a sane prospect. I'm not even fishing around for new things at the moment, as I need to get some other things done and make some attempt to round out my life a little. This week on Paramount+, the fourth season of the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks came to a satisfying end. A manic pace of in-universe nods continues to give it the Star Trekiest of Trek feels with the casual, plot-essential trivia drawn from decades of Star Trek shows, woven throughout. Also there, the contemporary Frasier series' first season hits its halfway point with episode five. I'm enjoying it, but it continues to walk a wobbly line as some of it works smoothly while other moments reek of formula, with some of each overlapping. I'd be very interested in seeing how well or not this new series works on its o...
At eBay! Just a note that Tony Collett has a an assortment of toys, action figures, comics and games coming down to their final minutes on ebay . (Sorry for forgetting to note this earlier, Tony. It seemed as if they'd just gone up and here we are near the end.) Also, Mike Leuszler's ebay store has an interesting mix of games, comics, prints, etc. I'll finally be putting some more items (probably only clix) up within the next day or two. Last week's power outage threw my schedule far off, and there were some complications due to me selling something large for someone else.
Bids & Pieces
Email from eBay this morning informs me of price increases that will be going into effect starting midnight, February 18th. They currently hit sellers up for 5.25% of the closing value on items that sell between $.01 and $25, plus 3.75% for the portion between $25.01 and $1,000. The new rate will be a hefty jump to 8% on that base amount and a near doubling of the next level to 5%. There are other changes, but that’s the core set of changes I’m concerned with.
This may be the extra fire I needed under me to get that long-overdue new round of auctions up and running soon. Heroclix items will be the focus, but I might also put up comics for the first time in several years, and perhaps some other things. Making the selections, doing some set-up between now and the 21st, and running a wall of auctions starting either that night or on the 22nd -- that's the loose plan. Updates and general self-promotion will increase as the kick-off date approaches and ...

C.L.: Okay, I fixed it. I was just feeling a little PG at the moment.
