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.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

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?!

I want to try a Toronto, that sounds up my alley. Guessing it would be not dissimilar to a Manhattan.
WRT the suicide while sleepwalking article: a few years ago I saw a documentary on people who've killed or tried to kill someone in their sleep. Freaky.
Ooh, I saw that. No wait, that was L&O.
