Here's my growing collection of Simpsons limited edition Acme pens, which started with "The Homer Code" and slowly built up.

I still need 2 more pens to complete the Simpsons collection.

Homer's The Scream and Homey Lichenstein

 

I know both are still available on ebay, just waiting for my funds to recover a bit before bidding.

They are beautiful. Am glad am somewhat over my former Simpsons' addiction. I don't think my bank account can afford another pen. I have bought 12 pens this year so far.

Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

I'd say my favourite is the Da Vinci Code one... I mean "the Homer Code" :P

 

It has some clever design elements on it, such as mirrored writing talking on the bottom (since Da Vinci was famous for his reverse writing) and also Homer's favourite bird-balance-thingee. Also pictures donuts and beer around the place.

 

I also find I'm really liking the Homerain design... I thought the repeating pattern would be a bit boring, but the variations in size keep it interesting.

Oh, right that drinking bird of his....the one that "covered" for him while he was at the movies, instead of keeping an eye on the nuclear power plant... :lol:

Yes, clever take on a Magritte painting!

Thanks again for sharing photos of your collection! :thumbup:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
