comics aren't just for kids anymore
Dec. 6th, 2007 04:18 pmSo the customer asked:
"Where do you keep the comics for adults like...
*wait for it*
...Calvin and Hobbes?"
Puh-lease. Yummy Fur, Lost Girls, Sandman, Preacher, The Dreaming, Promethea, Invisibles or Transmet would all qualify, as would thirty percent of most comic shoppes, but that guy was too dumb to ever get it.
Maybe overall literacy was the issue and I'm being too harsh.
A co-worker tried to talk me down by saying, "If all you've ever seen is Archie and Jughead..."
There was also a lovely anecdote about a woman who put 25 packages of artificial sweetener into her coffee but I heard it second hand and I don't remember it well enough to retell it and I'm too lethargic to re-invent a realistic version.
