to bring BUSINESS AS USUAL to print, we need to raise ~$850 in the next 43 hours—shelby & i poured ourselves into this comic, hoping to make something funny and raw. i think we accomplished what we set out to do, but don’t take my word for it, take @zoewithasword.bsky.social’s

When you step into a comic shop, what are you hopeful to find? How are you hoping to find what you may be looking for? From a retailer’s perspective I’m genuinely curious. What general vibe are you hoping to be met with in a local comic shop?

There's a mystery I've been dealing with for the majority of my life. This year marks 40 years since this unsolved mystery landed (almost literally) on my doorstep. I used to go to the mailbox all the time when I was a kid. Sure, my postman was hot, but I always thought getting mail
