That's highly annoying, Jesse. "Don't blame me, the boss made me do it!"
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But it has not killed brick and mortar shopping, as predicted.
Well, it's certainly made a big dent in bookstores and record stores. Though not comic book stores. Hmmmm. I guess if you could get your whole pull list done as a bundle that might be cost efficient.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Don't blame me, the boss made me do it!"
I think I still have some time to play new and stupid, but I would prefer not to have to fake that! I mean, it's real enough of the time as it is.

Comics are hard to sell via mail. I remember reading a copy of Mad from the 1950s where William Gaines had to patiently explain why a subscription cost more than the newsstand price.
What makes selling comics online especially difficult is that they're not returnable; it makes it extremely hard to scale up your business. If you under- or overestimate your demand, you're screwed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Work is making me want to cry. Come back New G...okay it's not that bad, but still. I have eaten half a sandwich and two pieces of candy since Tuesday. And I'm scared to leave my desk.

Yes, I love me a Toronto Cocktail, one of my favorite Fernet cocktails. Also, the Hanky Panky, a gin based Fernet drink:
- 1 ½ oz. gin
- 1 ½ oz. sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes Fernet Branca

Even if you can't leave your desk you should be able to order food and have it sent there, right?!
