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...)
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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 . . . .

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Damn. I wish my old comic store--21st Century Comics, in Fullerton--were closer to you, because they RAWK.

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.

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

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Was there a new JLU last night like TVtome said there'd be? I forgot to set the VCR before going to Hec's book reading. I got the episode that was supposed to be shown, but it was from a Canadain network. Probably the one Holli mentioned upthread.
It ended up being the episode some of us were dreading when it was posted about awhile back, but it was actually pretty good. And there was one particular moment that was immensely satisfying.

What was being dreaded? Was it the Supertwins -- that weirded me out. Not to mention the bits that the boy kept leaving behind after turning back from water.
It makes me wonder -- what are Superman's boundaries? How fast (in %age of Flash)? How cold is his superbreath? His oxygen requirements? Sans kryptonite -- does he feel pain?

Ita, those are questions that have been posed for decades with no real answers. He's definitely not as fast as Flash, and can't quite fly at the speed of light.
He does indeed feel pain, but it takes a LOT.
