Happy February!
Just a reminder that if you’re using my 1975/2014 Marvel calendar for your desktop wallpaper, it’s time to update.

Happy New Year!
Did you know calendars repeat periodically? Yep! Within a 28 year cycle a year will start on the same day of the week as previous years 3 times. (There’s a more detailed explanation here.) For example, 2014 has the same days and dates as the years 2003, 1997, 1986, 1975, 1969, etc…
So while there’s a ton of great 2014 calendars out there, I’m going a little retro and using this 1975 Marvel Comics calendar instead. And as long as I was scanning everything in, I thought I’d share them with you!
Click on the images below and you’ll get a nice big 2560 x 1200 image with both the top image page and the bottom calendar page. Feel free to grab them and use them as some super fun desktop wallpapers.
Have a Marvelous 2014/1975!
Feel free to grab them all now, but don’t worry, I’ll remind you here on the first of each month to download the new month’s wallpaper.
I was checking out a new collectibles shop nearby the other day (Patrol Dewback, I’ll be back!) when I stumbled on the first issue of Pizzazz by Marvel.
There’s a ton of fun stuff in it, but I thought I’d share just a few of my favorite pages:
You’d think Dr. Strange would be above card tricks, but I guess not. Also, that’s not Dr. Strange in the photo…
…that’s 15-year-old Jamie Schack who never lived that photo down.
Who knew Dr. Doom has such a sense of humor?
Find the answer on the Silver Surfer’s crotch!
Not only is Ock is long gone, but he’s apparently a giant now! Stay put, Spidey.
There’s the cover for you…
…but the back cover is my favorite! Jack Davis!
And just to wrap things up nicely, here’s a commercial for Pizzazz to start your week off right:
From 1979 Hallmark and Marvel come these super awesome superhero valentines!
You’ve got Captain America, Ms. Marvel, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and, my personal favorite, The Thing!
(And be sure to check out these 1966 Batman valentines and the SuperFriends Action Valentine Playbook as well as my valentine cartoons.)
Enjoy:
Love the pizza bit.
