Ha ha, suckas! Yes, it’s two days in a row of my arch nemesis Archie! Apparently, Free Comic Book Day works, because after I picked up the free Archie Digest (ugh) I found myself rummaging through a couple crates of old Archie-related titles and actually purchasing a decrepit piece of skateboarding in popular culture for $3, though you know my stance on just how “popular” Archie could possibly be. At the counter I told the young-ish male clerk not to judge me for buying Archie, and he replied he couldn’t possibly judge me because there was a surprising amount of Archie in his life.

Last Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, which is always a good excuse to go to a comic book store, even if you aren’t a regular reader. Last year there was an issue that had some skateboarding in it, but it looked like this year was going to be a bust. Archie comics have a had a lot of skateboarding in them (in small doses) over the years, so I figured an Archie Digest might have something.

An image of a dinosaur with a giant waffle tattoo, riding a skateboard, printed on a frisbee knock off. Someone was very confused in the marketing meeting that day. From Kellogg, circa 1992. Must have been something you had to send in box tops for. Now it will cost you $18.

Ah yes… INXS 6th album Kick, with the infamous Psycho Stick on the cover and minimal skateboarding featured in the video for Devil Inside. You’ve seen it, we’ve all seen it., but what about this little pin with the skateboarding devil on it? Looks like it came form Pee Wee’s Playhouse. Not exactly rare or unknown, but it’s never made an appearance here on S&A, and you know I like to be thorough.

This is an odd ceramic serving dish that looks like a couple piles of bananas and leaves in the shape of a skateboard. The banana wheels actually spin too. That’s just weird.

Happy Easter, if you’re into that sort of thing. If not, Happy Care Bears Swift Heart Rabbit on a skateboard from 1984.

A vintage advert for CSR Sugar in the September 29’th issue of Australian Women’s Weekly. Apparently, sugar is a crucial part of any good diet. Must have been the same doctors who used to say smoking was good for you too. Available at Side Street Vintage in Brisbane, Australia.

ReAction stands for retro action figure. Funko is releasing a line of action figures based on nostalgia, including figures like the Terminator, Escape from New York, The Goonies, Pulp Fiction, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and a Back to the Future model with a Marty McFly that looks nothing like Michael J Fox. In fact, he looks more like Corey Webster in Thrashin’. That little plastic skateboard looks like it’s been chewed up a little.

The Hardees restaurant equivalent of a Happy Meal box, dating back to 1990. It’s called a Funmeal. Say it over and over again. It makes me think of mealworms. Another rare Smurfette appearance on a skateboard. $25, so yeah… no.

A poster for Landlubber clothes dating back to 1978. Naked with a backpack, skateboard and a notebook, huh? Nothing is better than landlubber clothes? Oh… if you don’t have Landlubber, you might as well wear nothing. The seller needs some help with photography skills. This is one of the most haphazard auction shots I’ve ever seen. There isn’t a decent shot that shows the whole thing in a straight forward view.
