Def star: Shopping at the Dollar Store can be like crossing into the dimension of the bizarro toys. A red Batman with a sword? Why not! Well, Gus Lopez has taken it upon himself to archive all the worst (and thus best) Star Wars bootleg toys from as far afield as Turkey, Poland and Mexico. A blue Boba Fett with a tiny yellow blaster? Got it. Turkish Star Wars board game (Yildiz Savaslari)? Yup! Lead figures from Brazil? Don’t swallow them! It’s a galaxy far, far away at theswca.com/images-bootleg.html.

Strip tease: Okay, you can admit it, you find The Wizard of Id funny. If you’re one of those weirdos who’s been collecting old comic strip paperbacks at used book stores and garage sales, you’ve found your haven. From Family Circus to Funky Winkerbean, this is your checklist. Now if only it could explain what the deal is with Mary Worth at www.tonystrading.co.uk/galleries/index-comicstrips.htm.
