To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

As those on LJ may have noted, I've gotten my fanboy geek on for Green Lantern. Guh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The comic store nearest work has had shipment problems two weeks out of three. The one nearest me is Jay and Silent Bob. Apart from the revulsion they inspire -- parking is hell. The next nearest one, a Golden Apple outpost -- gone. The next nearest one -- closed for restructuring. The next nearest one sells out of interesting stuff by the Saturday.

Why does my life suck so?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

There's one comic book store in Lancaster. ONE. And it's too far to walk in the winter.

One the other hand, they do have excellent back issue bins, unlike my store in DC. I keep meaning to pick up Kelley's Superboy run while I'm there, but I always forget.

Hey, there's one comic book store available to me during business hours midweek, and I have to drive 75 miles to it. (OK, so I'm actually driving 75 miles to work and stopping off there on lunch break, but still...)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

There's one 3 blocks away from my work, in the City Library. Now, if only I still collected comics . . . .

Damn. I wish my old comic store--21st Century Comics, in Fullerton--were closer to you, because they RAWK.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have good comic stores by home (Comic Smash and Earth 2) and by work (Hi-De-Ho). I also loves me some MeltDown.

I read an Adrian Tomine graphic novel last night. It was really good but depressing. I loved the artwork.

Hi-De-Ho is sold out of too much stuff by the time I get there. No more TT by Saturday is sadmaking.

Some of my Batgirl collections have arrived. I wish they weren't hopping and skipping around the sequence, but I'm enjoying the reread -- currently Fists Of Fury.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The comic book store is around the block from where I live. And yes, it DID play a role in my decision to move there.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

In Berea, my comic book store is cunningly placed between Berea and Richmond, so that it is waaaaaaay too far to walk. Which means I have to scam rides down there whenever I want comics. And they're not great about pulls, or getting me things I order.

However, I'll have a car next semester, which will hopefully make things easier. Because they are really nice people, at this comic book store.
