[Groop] This is the end.

[Chris Schechner]

I want to gripe a little here. You remember I asked where to buy Solo online
and then I decided I could get it at a local comix shop. So yesterday, I
called the shop, which is about a 25 minute drive from my house. I asked if
they were getting Solo #11 in. The guy said  yes, that they would have it on
Wednesday. I asked if I could reserve a couple and he said, ³Oh we can¹t do
that because we have already made our order. If we have any to put out on
the shelves, it¹s on a first-come first-serve basis.² Now what kind of a
stupid way is that to run a store?!? Order only what you know is going to
sell and have no extra inventory? I mean, you might as well become a
mail-order house. What if Target or WalMart worked that way? You could only
get product if you pre-ordered it. Screw Œem. I¹m ordering it from Mile High
Comics.

Back to your regularly scheduled insanity.
