We just got word that all versions of Red Demon have been sold out by our Distributor. That means whatever Red Demons are out there are the last ones left for sale. Red Demon's earned his place next to Tequila in the Muttpop Hall of Fame. It was good to know you, buddy!

The latest issue of Lucha Libre 5 is now officially in finer comic shops across the US. Below are my comic purchases of the week. Best comic of the week? Lucha Libre Comics 5, of course!

I hate these postcards. It's because of these damned postcards that I was held hostage at Jerry's place at prime Lunch time hours. Luckily, the UPS truck came right as my stomach began it's uncontrollable pangs of hunger. That smile on my face isn't me professing the beauty of the postcards design. It's me thinking, "Delta Taco Carnitas, here I come!".

As I mentioned earlier, in a few months French editions of the Luchadores 5, Tequila and Tikitis comics from our Lucha Libre Anthology will be reprinted in the Hardcover Album Format. This is a big deal for our Frenchie enthusiasts. Being published as a hardcover album is an indirect way of saying, "Well I'll be damned, we've made it into the big leagues!". Why? Don't ask me, I'm no frenchie... but as an in the closet US-bred comic geek (I'm too cool for that crap!), I assume it's all about ritual. For years, French Comic fans have accumulated collections of these massive oversized hardcover comics. Now they can finally purchase our Lucha Libre comics in a form that they deem suitable to sit alongside the other "treasures" of their collection.

Hmmm... so the French comics "standard" is oversized books to be proudly embellished on bookshelves. The US standard are teeny weeny floppy mini-magazines that US collectors hide in polybag condoms and store in white boxes on closet floors. What does that say about the psychological of the French and US comic collector??? On that note, does the same psychology apply to French VS. American Porn? Any reference pictures for this unofficial study are welcome! :-)

Below are the poster designs mustered up by Jerry with some ancient text by yours truly (Muttpop Bob).

Kozik El Brujo Narco Satanico. Ebay. $400+. Since the photos being used in the auction were created with a much younger Jerry's sweat, tears, and mouse-clicks, shouldn't Muttpop get 20% of the final sale? ;-)

Either way we're shocked, flattered, and awed to see that there's still some demand for the oldest bastard child of the Kozik X Muttpop lovefest. I feel like a 50 year old dude going to his favorite Strip Club, and discovering that his 18 year old daughter is the headlining stripper. Don't expect me to be giving El Brujo any tip$, but I'll proudly watch the show!

Here's a rare glimpse at my "Divine Cabinet of Perfection". Seeing it with your own eyes is equal to things like King Tut's tomb or that fake Jesus towel. It's way better than that overrated "Body Works" exhibit of embalmed dead people.

While the majority of you have generic Ikea display cases made by Chinese robots, my display case was made 100s of years ago by skilled carpenters in the dry lands of India! Each panel of wood has the scars of hardship and Nature's scorn. It's the PERFECT cacoon for our figures (the GUTS of Muttpop).

While I wait to fill the remaining 2 shelves with more Muttpop perfection, I'm keeping those shelves busy with only the finest of Japanese Kaiju and some sentimental Western classics.

Jerry nearly sobbed of jealousy when he saw my cabinet. Photos can do it no justice... but alas there is no other way to capture it's beauty.
