Nah he doesn’t Yoyo. Frank Frazetta is his name. Pretty famous in the comic book/fantasy art world.

Wow! His daughter, Heidi and my sister used to be friends and she used to come over our house. I met Frank at his house in 1984, my senior year in HS. He looked at my at my art portfolio. He was very nice, his wife too. Frank showed me a lot of his original paintings and watercolor sketches for new paintings. I had books of his paintings and never thought to bring them for him to autograph. It just seemed like a chance to meet my sister’s friend’s dad who was an amazing painting and amongst my favorite artists. The thought never crossed my mind. Duh! Imagine if I had a photo of the two of us? What was I thinking?

The Frazetta family lives in Florida. Most of them, I think. One son, Bill is still up here and runs Frazetta’s Fantasy Corner in East Stroudsburg which is a multi-floor costumes and stuff gallery. My sister and Heidi still keep in touch. This is going off topic for the community and I’ll probably get scolded. Sorry! There’s the direct message option for this off-topic stuff.

There’s also the #Unrelated Discussion category! I seem to recall @jhb8426 wishing there were more posts there recently… if he wants to he can split out these replies and move them to a new topic over there!

New to the forum and to playing. I live in the US and grew up playing with a Yomega Fireball. Now I have kids and my daughter (7) wanted me to buy her a Duncan Butterfly the other day and I couldn’t resist. She played with it for about 2 hours and even though she wasn’t really getting it, I can tell she was excited. I hopped on amazon and bought the Yomega deluxe set that came with a Maverick, Ooch, and Raider. I like the Maverick and I’m not really impressed with the other two so I started perusing the internet and came across this site. Looking forward to learning from everyone here. I don’t know ANYTHING about playing and it seems the game has changed quite a bit since I was a kid. Looking forward to developing my own skills while also enjoying a hobby with my daughter.

Glad to be here. I’m a, how do you say, mature yoyo enthusiast. I started out with the original aqua 888’s and they are still one of my favorites. My best trick at this point is yukislack. But, it’s tough. Thanks everyone, hotei
