Hello everyone. This is Rob Leifeld. You are listening to another episode of Rob Observations.

What is Robeservations? Robeservations is really just me kind of sharing my life, my career,

my experience in the comic book industry, which has grown all these

giant tentacles into so many other industries, the video game industry, the television

industry, the movie industry, the obviously the merchandising, the toy, the, you know,

lunchboxes, school supplies, comic books are everywhere. They started knocking on that

door when I was a kid because I would be able to go as I, as, you know, the school year is about to

start up for so many of you. I would go to the local drug stores in our town. There was one called

Rexal Drugs, R-E-X-A-L-L-N. We, they had the best school supplies.

It would probably now be some toss-up between Target and Walmart, but, and they had

licensed Marvel Comics.

Some of the comics I've talked about here, issues of Fantastic Four, the infamous

Avengers 141, the cover with the Squadron Supreme facing off against the Avengers

and just pencils, erasers, folders, notebooks, all with comic book memorabilia.

That was just the start of what we would get to now, which is just an avalanche of comic book related material.

As I say this, as I'm looking across my desk at a dead bull talking head that talks with a voice.

I'm sure you've seen it.

It's been in stores about 10 months now.

And it, um, it's $100.

If you want this and I've signed a lot of them, I know how many of them are out there.

I've only signed a fraction of them, obviously.

But again, the merchandising, you now get a $100 talking Deadpool head that makes snarky comments towards you.
