Kids Need Your Comics!
Longbox Graveyard awoke from Odinsleep this morning when the following missive arrived in the ol’ mailbag:
My name is John Hollister. I drive school bus 138 in Franklin, TN. Every year I am Santa for my kids but this year my loads have ballooned to about 120 kids who do ride and 30 more who can ride from K-5 and it has started to “strain” my cash I have allotted for them. Please note I am NOT asking for anything free but would be very interested in anything you have that you are looking to get rid of and are age appropriate. Quantity not an issue if the price is right as my wife and I stopped giving candy away several years ago at Halloween and we get about 100 kids a year. I also ferry 50 highschoolers (9-12)
I have:
18 Kindergartners
33 grade 1,
26 grade 2
31 grade 3,
25 grade 4,
17 grade 5
Please make sure these are books a mother would approve of condition wise and age wise. My kids are from at LEAST 5 different countries including India (most), S. Korea, Japan, China, American :o), Pls no religious themes, Santa ok and some from each county just fine.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
John
Whaddya say, loyal Longbox Graveyard readers? Do you have comics in bulk that you can send to John? If so, please email him directly.
probably NOT John’s bus … but so cool if it was!
