Title: Newbie
Post by: paulindr on December 31, 2023, 08:02:16 PM

Hi.

I found this site just by accident. Strange as I've been checking out comics for years. I'm a mature person over-ripe would be more accurate who appreciates comics for the artwork. I specialise in comics that include dangerous plants anywhere, either on the cover or within but I only collect those with dangerous plants on th covers.

I had about two hundred such comics but recently lost about fifty of them. I live in the Dominican Republic and just four to five weeks ago, we had torrential storms that lasted four to five hours whereas normal is 5 minutes. The result was country-wide flooding and even a few deaths. My garden was enclosed by a high wall. Water flooded the area behind the wall to a height of nearly three metres. It brought the wall down and a taller than one metre tsunami of rainwater flooded my entire house, destroying the fifty comics and most everything else of value. But I live on.
