Happy Marvel Easter

Awesome!

Have a Happy Spider Easter!

The Easter Bunny visited my house last night, and left me a few Spidey-Presents.

Egg wraps.

Eggs

And a basket full of goodies!

Pretty cool, eh?

Today is Easter

Hey folks, look what I found in my Easter Basket today?

Do I have the greatest wife, er Easter Bunny, or what?

More Spidey Tchachkas!

As promised, here are more Spidey-related items that my beautiful family has acquired for me recently.

I truly have to hand it to my wife and kids, because not only do they put up with my funnybook habit, but they often supply me with a fix, by hooking me up with all sorts of comicbook-related goodies. (When my wife took my daughter to Micky D’s a month or so back, they had Spidey toys, and my daughter had my fie acquire one foe me, which was totally cool, as I hadn’t known that the Spidey toys were there at the time.)

Any ways, first up for this post is an old-fashion metal Spider-Man alarm clock that my son acquired for me when he was recently in Florida on a school vacation/field trip (how he arranged all that is a bit beyond me, but he did).

This is followed by the bag that it came in when he delivered it to me (no, he didn’t go to Universal, apparently he did his souvenir shopping in the Airport. He is, after all, the laziest kid alive).



This next item is a regular handkerchief that (apparently, and for no discernible reason) someone drew a Spider-Man figure on it. A buddy of mine came across it (I think it was his nephew that drew it). Well, he had no use for it, and knew of my love for all things Spidey, so he gave it to me.



If you look close at Spidey’s face, it almost looks like it was drawn upside down.

Finally, here are a couple of pics of a Spidey Easter Basket that I acquired (for 75% off) a couple of days after Easter from my local CVS. I love after-holiday pricing!



And here is the other side.



Is my family great or what?

What I got for Easter

Yeah, yeah, I know that Easter was like a month ago, but right after Easter (actually ON Easter), the wife and my daughter went south to Virginia for a week (the little one had school vacation, and was invited by a friend to head south, needless to say Management went as well). Well, as can be expected, they took the camera.

Then, no sooner then they returned then the boy had school vacation, and headed souther, to Florida. Well, I had assumed that he took the camera with him as well, but apparently he didn’t. Only it wasn’t until he got back that I realized he hadn’t.

What has all this to do with the Webbing in Freedonia? Well, without access to the camera, I was unable to take pics of all the wicked-cool Spidey stuff I had gotten for Easter. (Yeah, yeah, I could have used my cell-phone camera, but, well, I was having tech issues with that little piece of hardware as well, but that’s an entirely different story).

So what we wind up with this time is a Spidey Sticker, a Spidey Tic-Tack-Toe game, and (believe it or not) Spidey kite string (which will actually go quite nicely with the Spidey Kite that I have sitting out in my garage.



Well, that’s it for now folks, I have to hustle off to a CAG-CT meeting, and I’m already running late for that.

An Easter Post Script

Ah, don’t you just love the after-holiday sales? I know that I do, that is how I acquired this little gem. I got one of these Spider-Eggs last year (mm-mmm-good), but didn’t see it this year at all. My lovely wife spotted it yesterday and scooped it up for me. Yeah, I thought at was nice as well.



I’ll let you all know how it tastes.

Spider Week Continues!

That’s right kids, so long as Spidey is in the theaters, and Burger King is selling his toys, it is still Spider-Week. This week we picked up a couple of new items.

Also, while we were cleaning up our office, we discovered a small stash of Spidey Easter candy that we just had to share with you all.

Man was it still good!

Not only was that that chocolate egg hollow, but there was some hard candy hidden inside of it.

Very cool indeed.

As of now, I have eight of the 10 BK Spidey toys. Oh, and I’ve won the scratch off game more than I’ve lost (about either eight or 10 wins).

It is beginning to look a lot like a Spider Easter!

That’s right boys and girls. Valentine’s Day is hardly old, and the Easter candy is already out in full force. (Truth to tell, much of it was out even before Valentine’s Day was even here.) Yeah, yeah, I realize that it is necessary to promo events prior to the event itself, but it is really getting ridiculous. Anyway, all of this is just a lead in to talking about how even our heroes are getting into the act. That’s right kids, You can now get Spider-Man Valentine and Easter Candy, just check out what I got for Valentine’s day.

Personally, I’m waiting for whatever candy holiday event is coming up next, as I think that there is probably a way to work Spidey and the rest of the Marvel Heroes into virtually any (every) holiday (hey, Why not a line of Storm, Black Panther, and Luke Cage chocolates for Black History Month?) Anyway, here is what you can expect for Easter this year:



Oh yeah, if you were looking for Spidey in the Newspaper today, his special reprint appearance was (once again) suspended, as Monday is President’s Day. I know, I know, what boneheads! Personally, I’d rather have the comic myself.



Ah well, I guess all we can really do is wait.
