NewComicsDay (Wednesday), Nov. 11, 2009 -- I thank my brother-in-law Jared for alerting me to a comic shop of which I hadn't previously been aware - WildPig Comics II (the original store had been destroyed by a flash flood in '99, hence the "II"). They're about to begin a huge sale (11/14 & 11/15) down there in the wilds of Jerzee, so grab some snacks, some deodorant and your jet pack.
I'm laughing my ass off right now while scanning their web site. Here are some highlights as I smile ear-to-ear while nodding my head in agreement:
WILDPIG COMICS II will NEVER promote or tolerate the following:
* passing off socially dysfunctional, mutated half-humans as courteous, helpful employees and proprietor
* human body odor
* exposed, festering ass crack
* Pokemon, and every other witless trend that removes more comics from your local shop
* dirt, disorganization, and clutter
* crappy new book reservation systems that give you a free bag and board if you're lucky
* having to endure loud, obnoxious, role-playing fuckwits while shopping (sometimes only an expletive can tell it like it is)
* Muzac
* Self important oafs ranting about who makes a better Green Lantern, which Star Trek show is better, and other such weighty philosophical topics that should never take precedence over thinking about how one can find a girlfriend and a life.
I plan on visiting "the sty" very soon - if not for their mohawked pig mascot, then surely for their use of the term "Net" when referring to the Internet (I love slightly outdated geek-speak). Self-aware proprietor Chris is a true geek who has been through the proverbial ringer, and I'm always looking to support such real-life heroes. This guy seems to really get it.
