In December my father told me he might have cancer. In January my friend was violently murdered. In February my girlfriend's father is most certainly going to lose his battle with cancer. Just today one of my favorite couples that shop where I work told me they lost their baby at 6 months into the pregnancy. Call your friends, go see your families. Make sure everyone you love knows you love them.

KaosMachina posted:Is Locke and Key the only book that can really go on a list of "If you liked Stranger Things, try this next"? Because I know it probably isn't, yet it's the only one that comes to mind immediately. It's funny you say that because while watching ST I thought that the makers would work wonders with a L&K series. EDIT: OH MY GOD I FORGOT One of my customers got a He-Man symbol tattoo but it looks like an Iron Cross instead and not in the good kind in the "this guy looks like a Nazi now" way.

It doesn't even look like He-Man's chest emblem. And even Mattel knew it was a bad icon because in the 2002 reboot of the toyline there was an emergency running change from the original cross to a stylized H.

I recently got a very tiny tattoo to remember my friend who recently died. Nothing flashy, just a reminder. 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.

Madkal posted: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.

Teenage Fansub posted:Would it be possible to only order the variants and just force them on people despite their order? Just say '"Loyalty upgrade! If I was 100% in control of ordering? gently caress yes it would be possible. 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.

The book had a very rough start and honestly didn't get good until the arc when he lost the yellow ring. I will agree, Guy works best with a ring and not silly alien powers.
