Day 10: one last shop, one big find, and then the hardest goodbye of the trip.

Huge thanks to and for keeping us going this whole trip. And, of course, Silver Snail Comics !

Day 9: We show up to the Art Gallery of Ontario and get greeted by a giant elephant standing guard out front. Inside, more paintings than we could take in during one visit. Back at the apartment, we finally let the birds out of their cage, and Koko wasted no time picking a favourite shoulder to land on. Closed the day out with a well-earned toast and a favourite old tradition.

Huge thanks to and for keeping us going.

Day 8 of the hunt. Daylight hours went to scouting fresh targets across downtown Toronto — new turf, new shops, new possibilities. Then the sun went down and Surfer traded comic boxes for his sax, sitting in with the local jazz giants for a late-night set. Two different hunts, same relentless energy.

Day 7 of the hunt. 4,000 kilometers down, and we finally rolled into Toronto. First order of business: opening the U-Haul to check for storm damage. The bad news — Surfer's custom Silver Surfer box didn't make it. The good news — every comic inside came out bone dry, because we bag, board, and box everything right. Squeezed in a very impromptu tattoo touch-up before the night wrapped with Surfer's first set on a Toronto stage.

Bugs in the first room. B.O. in the second. Turns out the real find of this hotel stop wasn't the room — it was what came out of this morning's haul review. 👀 One book in particular has been on the want list a long time. Then it was back on the road, Tim's own track playing us out of town — "Saudade," streaming now: https://open.spotify.com/track/4o3dl9q2sheX9mbp5ATbXZ Thanks and .

Not every day on this trip is a comic hunt. Winnipeg to Thunder Bay, one giant trailer we couldn't park, and a hotel that used to be an actual courthouse.

We found the biggest Galactus we've ever seen, and left with a book that's more important than it looks. Also: never trust a clear sky on the prairies.

Day 3 of the hunt started with zero sleep, a massive Calgary flea market, and a comic shop we could see through the glass but couldn't get into. Then the road decided to test us with some very optimistic gas math. By 2am, we'd earned a laugh we did not expect.

Fueled by Thanks for the assist.

Day 2 of the hunt. First stop: Enderby Flea Market, digging for filler and dodging a very tempting Sting replica. Sugar stop in Banff, a late workout in Calgary, and then we tried a money-saving trick we will not be repeating anytime soon.

Every origin story starts with a departure. Warlock and Surfer roll out of West Kelowna today, kicking off a 4,200 km cross-Canada run to Toronto — trunk full of gear, eyes on the next great find. Eleven days, one epic road, and a few surprises along the way. Follow the journey.

Huge thanks to and .
