Comic books, meerkats and dinosaurs

A friend of mine was talking today about Free Comic Book Day, which was a couple of Saturdays ago. Comic book stores give away tons of comic books, including some for little kids, and they have costumed characters, people doing sketches and other stuff.

The most popular comic book store here planned an event at their store and an event at the science center. Biscuit has been getting into super heroes lately, so when we found out about the event at the science center, we decided to go. The only problem was that it was the morning we were supposed to leave for vacation.

I told Biscuit about it and asked if he'd like to go for a little while before we left on our trip. And of course, when he found out there would be heroes there in costume, he was all excited to go.

My friend and her husband went to the comic book store that day, and they said she got some comic books for kids that they thought Biscuit might like.

"Do you know if the comics from the store are any different from the ones they gave away at the science center?" I asked her. "We took Biscuit there."

"I didn't realize you went to the science center event," she said.

"Didn't you see the pictures I posted?" I asked. And then it occurred to me that I never posted any pictures.

So even though it's a couple of weeks late, here are some pictures:

You'd think that among all the worlds Thor
can travel to, he would've found a nicer wig.

Batman, on the other hand, was really cool looking.

Cat Woman and Poison Ivy are villains, so Biscuit
wasn't happy about having his picture taken with them.
I told Jeff he should've said to this
Storm Trooper, "I thought you'd be bigger."

After we saw the super heroes and villains, we went around to see
the animals. Biscuit and this meerkat were staring at each other.





This is a ring-tailed lemur.

This is a red-ruffed lemur.


Don't look now, Biscuit, but I think
that T-rex wants to have you for lunch!



This cool plane would rock back and forth as Biscuit moved the controls.
