I was trying to buy some Graphic Novels for my little brother a few months ago and an enthuastic salesman tried to sell me everything he could find on the shelf!<BR/><BR/>Nice blog, I enjoy your work:)<BR/><BR/>ZoZo Hashimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11364540238915466754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13140037.post-35776312773172806542008-10-30T21:00:00.000+00:002008-10-30T21:00:00.000+00:00These made me chuckle, Sara.
