Once Upon a Geek
A blog for The Irredeemable Shag … A place for all things geek, focusing primarily on superheroes & science fiction.
A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a blog that focuses on a variety of geeky topics, including: comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general. However, any topic is really fair game. Don't forget to share your thoughts by adding comments!
About Shag
By day, The Irredeemable Shag plays the part of a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. By night, he is a frightening creature that strikes terror into the hearts of criminals!
... or ...
maybe The Irredeemable Shag managed a comic book store for four years, and a movie theater megaplex for three years. Nowadays he's just a really vocal geek on THE UNIQUE GEEK, a semi-regular on the VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX podcast, and runs the ONCE UPON A GEEK and FIRESTORM FAN blogs.
You decide...

No; sadly, my bookshelf is just cluttered up by the “Complete Calvin and Hobbes” hardcover set from a few years ago…
Hmmm. Limited edition hardcover set vs diligently collecting all the original volumes… really, since it is Calvin & Hobbes, there’s no way to lose.
I think I’ve got most of those to. It may be time for a re-read.
They do have a daily comic in RSS now:

This REALLY pains me to say, but here goes … Steven Marsh… you are official in the .. *ouch* .. cool kids club.
Man, that was painful to type.
I’ve got a couple of the original volumes, but I’ve also got the 5-ton brick known as the Complete Calvin and Hobbes. I’m afraid to put it any higher than the bottom shelf for fear that it’ll collapse! (But then Comic Book Tattoo has a similar problem.)
Oh, how I miss Calvin and Hobbes. It never gets old, and it remains one of the best strips about childhood ever created. That, and the early Peanuts strips.
I will have to post my coolest small library.
I have had most of those. I passed many on to my nephew who has practically read them to death.
Yep. Sorry, but I’ve got the Complete 3 x Hardcover volume, too. It’s got loads of really interesting stuff at the beginning which talks about the development of the series.
I love C&H. I only discovered them a few years ago (I’m so behind the times).
i saw this calvin & hobbes t-shirt and thought of you:
