Welcome everybody to another edition of Rob Observations. I am Rob Lefeld. This is my

wacky podcast called Robeservations. We broadcast, bring our show to you on Tuesdays and Fridays

and we talk comics and pop culture and movies and TV and toys and all of the

things that are related to my passion, your passion of comic books, which we have come a long way.

We, for me, I pulled my comics off the rack in 1975.

That love affair was immediate.

It lasted all the way through junior high high school.

I graduated high school.

I needed to get a job.

I was not going to be a lawyer or a doctor or any sort of what you would call smart or intelligent position.

But man, I was a creative, I had a creative bend to me that I had been trying to exercise and

develop since fifth grade, sixth grade.

So I graduated high school and I was fortunate when I was 18 years old to be

hired into comic books and the rest is history. Cable, X-Force, Deadpool, Domino, Shatterstar,

Youngblood, Supreme Blood Strike, Captain America, The Avengers, so many great comic books that I have

been able to bring to you guys. It's such a blast, so much fun. And now I talk about comic

books with you guys. And here we are. It's early early getting up early to get this show to you guys and
