Virtual Pokemon Go Disneyland Postcards


I was late to the party, but on July 11, 2024 I started playing Pokemon Go, and have virtually walked 5642 km (3505 miles) since I started playing the game, and caught 82,043 Pokemon. And at some point while playing I made a virtual friend in the game who sends me Disneyland Resort postcards every day! When I received the first one, I was pretty excited as I had never seen a Disneyland (or other Disney park) postcard in the game. I then went looking online and found that every Disney park worldwide has many pokestops with all kinds of great postcards. As a huge Disneyland (and Disney in general) fan and collector, these have become fun new additions to my collection. Each day when another one shows up, its my little bit of Disney pixie dust for the day!

Here are some of the cards I have received.



 




Do you play Pokemon Go and collect Disney postcards in the game?
Do you have Disney postcards to you're willing to share, lets become virtual friends.

The Salvaged She-Newt

 If you enjoy super fun comics, you need to check out The Salvaged She-Newt, a self published comic book by Ken Albery.

Here is an awesome sketch cover Ken did for me with she-Newt battling (or more correctly, running from) a large kaiju.

Heckle and Jeckle Merchandise

I'm not sure why, but I have always loved Heckle and Heckle. They have started showing their cartoons on Toon in with ME on MeTV, which is great, but I'm reminded that the cartoons are not that memorable. I think most of my love for Heckle and Heckle comes from that fact that they were so hard to see back in the 80's and 90's when I was really getting into animation (after reading Of Mice and Magic by Leonard Maltin). Back in the late 80's I was able to see a few of the Heckle and Jeckle cartoons at the Kiddierama in my local mall. (Check out my post about that Kiddierama.) I still hope that at some point we will get a complete set of cartoons on BuRay, but until then, I will have to settle for the odd item I find in an antique shop or thrift store. Here are a few of my most recent finds. I love the art on the Golden Record and the magnet, but the artwork on the two films is pretty awful!
