This is the condition the vast majority of comics from Midtown Comics arrive in despite all new comics being labeled as "near mint." Midtown near mint comics almost always have signs of being hastily handled and poorly packaged evidenced by color breaking spine ticks, color rub on the back of the comics, small dings and bends and would be accurately graded as "very fine/near mint" at best.
Rather than change how they handle and package their comics to prevent this damage, Midtown has recently changed their return policy making it harder to get a full refund due to the high volume of complaints they have been receiving.

Seller claims the comic is "perfect" but the pictures show multiple small color breaking spine ticks and color rub on the back cover so it's obviously "Midtown near mint" at best.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
