I had the pleasure of receiving my very own copy of the latest offering from Curio and Co. titled “Time for Frank and His Friend.” I can’t say enough about the endless well of creativity that springs forth from this company. Get your copy online through their site or visit the booth next month at San Diego’s Comic Con in the Small Press section. If you miss the event, consider purchasing a copy of their “Gadabout” time machine manual to manipulate time and give it another try.

In honor of the brave efforts of two members of “Monkopolis,” these commemorative badges have been produced. Elijah Bubbleshard (top) was famed for his heroics on the battlefield atop his military grade penny-farthing. Corporal Bubbleshard showed bravery beyond measure during the famed “Battle of the Bulging Sprocket.” Archibald Scorchplate served as an expert pilot during wartime then focused his efforts as a test pilot. Among the many devices of war he tested were the Sonic Doom Jet Pack, Screaming Rocket Gloves, Rhesus Roulette Torpedo Jet and the Wingless Wonder Explosive Torpedo Dragon Drone.
These 2 inch square black lacquered maple badges have been laser engraved by Ink It Labs to two different levels of depth. The reverse of each badge’s display card has additional info about the exploits of these two brave simians.
Each badge has its own sturdy pinback clasp, allowing you to further honor these heroes by displaying proudly on your lapel, hat, messenger bag or velvet lined museum quality display case.
