The Republican National Convention is almost here! Let’s all enjoy learning and listening to other’s points of view, while we show the world what we’ve always know about our city, that It’s the best. (And a plum, and you’ve got to be tough, etc.) Here at the shop we’ve put together a unifying and bipartisan agenda to that effect, raising funds for a worthy cause and engaging in that greatest of social commentary, parody. We’ve created a 11×17 Lithograph to help you celebrate the impending “Mad Bomb” that may be heading towards Cleveland. This print is FREE with any purchase. Imagine the conversation and respect from your peers as you hang this piece of semi accurate propaganda up in your home or place of work. Much respect to Kirby and Romita, they were well ahead of their time.

We’re going to lay out a blueprint for this summer’s shop events, including Carol’s final day this Wednesday 7-6-2016! A LONG JOURNEY ENDS; A NEW JOURNEY BEGINS Five years ago we had a retirement party for mom. At that point Jim began running the day to day of the shop, and Carol started to ease her way out of the business, cutting way back on days. Last fall she successfully handed over the operation and reduced her schedule to one Saturday a month. At 72 years old She’s fully retiring into the world of full time grand-mothering. We’re celebrating her final day at the shop from 7 PM to 9 PM on 7-6-2016. Carol will ceremoniously ring out her last sale at 7:59. We’ve even brewed a special beer for the event, the Ma Hunkel Retirement Ale. Thank you to  www.pencilero.com for the label artwork. We’ll also have treats from the Burning River Baking Company, as well as other refreshments. All are welcome. Stop by and say congrats to mom. She re-invented herself at 46 years old, and being only 43 myself it makes...
