Let's talk about some irritating poo poo.

http://comicsalliance.com/image-womens-history-month-planned-parenthood/


Image is doing special PP variants in March. We're already getting calls asking if we will be carrying these from both sides of the issue and it is driving me up the loving wall. We finally settled on them being special order only which also sucks because today was the final order cutoff for the first week's worth so we're gonna have plenty of irritated people over this. But we just don't want to deal with the bullshit on this as one caller said her organization would protest at our store.

If she calls again ask her if she represents 1 000 000 moms and if she says yes laugh at her. Loudly. For a long period of time. Hell, you can do that even if she says no.

The people who caused trouble last time were the "Northeast Indiana Christian Collalition" and they actually do stir poo poo up. They marched at a Manson concert and probably 600 people showed up to picket.

People still care enough about Manson to picket his shows? Are they forever living in 1997?

People in the midwest do. To be fair this was like 5 years ago. I see these people whenever we go to the movies as they are always protesting something.

Not that it would make a difference though. Most of those books are low shelf copy sellers for us, we move the bulk of them via preorder. I just don't like people trying to force my hand.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

You should introduce him to that group of black customers who told you that Black Panther "wasn't for you" and maybe they could team up to fight for free speech against the Northern Indiana Christian Coalition and all of the people you have to call the cops on in your store for pooping their pants and unsheathing katanas or whatever.

If the original artist went to jail, served his time, took anger management classes and publicly apologized and continued to speak out against domestic violence, I'd be be okay with him illustrating the book again. gently caress, I could leave out the jail time if he did a very could job about everything else.

There were rumours when it went on hiatus that it would come back with Upchurch back on art. The reasoning of the time was that since he was a co-creator, he might be able to force the matter. Since that's turned out not to be the case, I figure I'll give Rat Queens another shot.
