RevKrule posted:I thought she only had one issue left to complete the run. Why does she need a piece of paper? Anytime I need a single issue, I have that number seared into my brain. Because she's doing this for her son while knowing absolutely nothing about comic collecting. If she manages to get a super rare super mint issue for him worth hundreds she is going to immediately rip open the casing and ruin it, just like she did with the last one. I still want to see this story arc end with her son coming home and having to smile and thank her for her kind, loving gesture of completing his collection for him. And then he continues to live with the gnawing agony that his mother is a complete loving moron that ruined the value of the comics she got for him because she kept tearing the slabbed copies open as she "just wanted him to have them to read" when no, he was actually loving collecting them, that was the entire point of the collection.

EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean OK, disregarding the complete lack of a joke here... she has a list of one comic! The single remaining comic she needs to finish the collection. The comic she has been trying to find for some time now and the whole reason she organized this entire trip to a major convention. She had to put that one comic down on a list so she wouldn't forget it. e:f,b

Okay this is the last page, but did the colorist seriously forget that the guy had a mustache one day later?! Or is it vice-versa and the artist corrected him?

I find that really odd, I've ever been in a bad smelling thrift store (although I've apparently not been in the one that might be a drug den), and this is in the middle of loving nowhere California. I do recommend washing clothes you buy anyway though.

Even a large Goodwill or Salvation Army style thrift store is not putting out so much stuff a day that a large industrial washer or two couldn't take care of it. Most of the stuff in a thrift store sits around for a long time, the entirety of the store isn't cycling over every day. Sure they can be a little musty but if customers had the perception that the clothes weren't washed, why would they try things on, and hence make purchases? QED

QED The thrift store I go to sometimes has a washer/dryer in the back and two elderly women that chat loudly while they sort clothes to prepare for washing. It's not that taxing to just wash everything the store takes in once.

In my city there is a central location where all the goodwill clothes go and there is a full time staff of like twenty people that wash everything before it goes on the rack. I saw the facility and it was pretty impressive. Some small thrift stores are nasty, though.
