    Ha, I was at Tomorrow is Yesterday yesterday (now Top Cut Comics). I’m serious.

    Not possible. If you were at Tomorrow is Yesterday yesterday then you would have been at Tomorrow is Yesterday tomorrow because tomorrow is yesterday not yesterday or today! :blink:

    If Tomorrow does in fact equal Yesterday, then the solution to the equation is Today. Therefore Tomorrow is Yesterday Yesterday would be the the day before today.

    I need a drink 🙂

    “The store, that wouldn’t happen to be Tomorrow is Yesterday? ”
    No, no it’s not. It’s a little mom and pop type store off Broadway and 11th “Clyde’s Comics and Fantasy Shoppe.” T is Y went out of business about a year ago after 25 years of competition and is now Top Cut Comics. Clyde’s has been open since April of 1976. Clyde’s boasts of having a larger back issue stock then most Chicago stores.

    There are actually three stores here in Rockford, Toad Hall which is the oldest store and has had sort of a cult following (RIP Bev and Larry Mason). Clyde’s is next, my friend Neil is the hobbyist, “No One KNOWs Comics Like Neil Knows Comics.” He opened up April 1,1976 selling the new comics where as toad hall sold (and still does) sell the old. And there’s Top Cut (T is Y) and their the business end of the trillogy, they sell more card and roll playing than comics.

    So friend Alex next time you’re out this way take US20 bypass to the 251 11th street exit, take 11th all the way to Broadway and look to the left and you’ll see a Superman Logo neon light in one of the store fronts, that will be Clyde’s

    Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. After I posted, I did a Google search and found out about the ownership and name change w/ the Yesterday store.

    Never been in, but am familar w/ Toad Hall, and also Graham Cracker in Chicago.

    I’ve been to Clyde’s many times, as well as world famous Toad Hall. I even remember Clark’s on Harrison and Hot Stuff on State.

    Then we’ve probably met I’ve been called many things but I go by “Uncle Paulie” to some and when I there with Neil I usually sit in the chair in the back by the counter. You might say I’m the “Norm” of the group. 😉

    I thought Graham Cracker Comics was pretty much a defunct entity? I’m pretty sure the one just off Michigan Avenue in the Loop is owned by someone else now.

    EDIT: Oops, it would appear I was wrong. http://www.grahamcrackers.com
