No Tugging Allowed

The husband brought home a Chanukah gift for himself the other day. Yes, it was Superman's Cape, a replica from the movies. #70-something out of 200-something. This has to be the pièce de résistance of his comic book collectibles... and he has already proudly hung it in the entryway to the shrine.

Shrine, you ask? The shrine is a room in our basement, and, along with thousands of comic books, it holds a vast array of collectibles: the bat signal, the Bottle City of Kandor, Green Lantern's power battery, Wonder Woman's wristbands, and many many more. I barely knew what half these things were before the shrine was built. It's not hard to understand why I laugh so much at the TV show "Big Bang Theory".

It's interesting to note that Superman's Cape has a small pocket in the side. Who knew? Also, the cape is not actually wearable. You'd think for $300 that it would have that feature. Sigh.
