It's a Living
This is a post for Mike, Dorian, Brian Hibbs and all the other comic book store retailers.
I think I figured out what makes working at a comic book store so special. Some people have jobs where they have to deal with bratty kids running around, disrupting any displays or such that the establishment’s hard-working employees worked so hard to set up. Others have jobs where they often end up selling creepy material to even creepier individuals. Pretty soon the staff there realizes it is best not to think about what happens to the magazines and DVDs they vend.
This brings us to the comic book store employee. There’s a person who gets the best of both worlds! He/She is someone who finds him or herself having to quiet down a pack of 10-year-olds who might knock over the shelf of Batman trades. Yet while they’re disciplining wayward children whose parents have somehow disappeared, they’re also searching for that one Olivia comic for that old, skinny fisherman-type guy who is sure to come in early on a weekday morning. Oh well, I suppose it's funny where life takes a person.
