Here we get a quick peek at what life is like for Bart when the doors are closed. Back in the old days when I was running a comic book store, doing the Previews Order each month was both fun and a nightmare, and I suspect now it is worse than it was back then.
Just as an aside, our next multi-part story, starting with Strip 201, is going to center around our ever-lovable comic book store owner Bart!















“He may not know art, but he knows what he likes.”
Ah the humble shop-keeper, busy ordering his wares for his select clientele.
Keep your clientele happy, and you can keep your beloved toilet a-flushin’.
What an appropriate comment for Bart, Rory!
Cat Sue Don! I cant believe no-one else has thought of this! great joke!
You should now post a bunch more “cat sue”s, with captions so that google images will pick it up, and you can properly “own” it
This is something I designed a t-shirt for awhile back, Phil — A cat happily lying in a bowl of rice playing with a pair of chopsticks — although I discountinued it, since they were expensive to produce (I was doing them on blue baseball shirts).
