P.S. Astute Quimby’s historians will remember beloved director Arthur Jones’ comics consigned here in 2002: 900 Lb Gorilla and Magic Pants when he was but a young comics-maker, as well as his book Post-it Note Diaries. Further, said astute Quimby’s historians will also recall artist Matt Furie’s comics and books sold at our fine establishment as well, featuring such titles as Boys Club, Dungeon Family and Night Riders. Quimby’s thanks Arthur, Matt and friends for including Quimby’s in this endeavor!

The Skullduggery of 1854!
Wonder what was at our address before it was Quimby’s? Who better to answer that question than one of our favorite history buffs, Quimby’s neighbor Gordon Meyer, the artist and tour guide behind Bizarre Bucktown, who says, “I was crawling thru the Trib archives and spent a few minutes looking into the history of your location. It was formerly a tire store, then an HVAC company. The latter of which might have gotten caught up in some backroom deals. Also, it appears the owner’s son was murdered at DePaul. (I didn’t go far enough to verify that these are the same folks, but it appears to be.)” How fitting that there was skullduggery related to 1854 W North Avenue before Quimby’s moved in to this very building.
Plus, also, those ads! Gum Dipped Cords! MAN SIZE COOLING!
