Should have worn his Ocean Pacific or Hobie shirt with ‘em. He’d have gotten a girl with even bigger hair!

My girl at the time, I dressed her for success. 

IDK what is more 1980's - your shorts or her hair.

Either way, awesome. I was a double-digit kid on the 80's so these are all fond memories for me! Thanks for sharing.

Ahh! I fondly remember my first colonoscopy..., I live in a small town and after suffering through that charming prep kit, I show up for the procedure, and my son's girlfriend's mom is there to assist me with undressing, and final prep. Here, they schedule them all on the same day, so afterwards, we're just separated by shower screens, and you got to hear what they did to everyone else. Luckily my report was everything squeaky clean, and don't come back for ten years.  

But you went back sooner anyway, right?

*ba-dum*

 

 Please don't hurt me!

The place was very windy at times and if there were only 2 tacks at the top the books would flip upwards with a gust and stay up or blow right off the wall.

As an 80's kid, these pics are awesome.  I remember going with my older brother to random shoes on Long Island especially at those Marriott shows in the late 80's and early 90's.  Would love to keep seeing more of these pics.

I was quite surprised at the standard of the NHS treatment I received.  Private changing room while waiting for the enema to work its magic, incredibly courteous and supportive nurses - really exceptional, making an anxiety-inducing experience as comfortable as possible.

Nice to see boardie Mitch Mehdy in those early SDCC photos

I've always been quite repetitive and practical in my dress sense, and genuinely approving of Neal Adams' very similar approach.

I'd be interested in seeing a colourised version of this photo, to check if he was wearing his customary blue.  Here it's striped, and so we can already see that there's been a sartorial evolution in style over the intervening decades, though always sensibly emphasising comfort.

Each post in this thread switches from 80s comic and fashion nostalgia to colonoscopies and enemas. What's most sad about that is the fact I'm enjoying reading all of it.

Probably talking about Theo Holstein's Overstreet ad.

I've given the post a like, but had absolutely no clue about the reference at first.  Of course, unlike back then in the Bronze Age, we have search engines to compensate for ignorance.  

 

Rather narcissistic.

Imagine there was a time you could flush out an Action1 from the woodworks with a mere $10k and a semi nude shot of ones self.

I thought it was funny that the seller charged Mitch shipping on his action #1 purchase.  I believe it was $1806 plus 30 cents shipping.

I wear the same thing everyday and get lots of flack for it. "Fashion" is not important to me, so who cares? It's not my biz, however, I'm always curious why others the same everyday. Curious why you do.
