Yeah, so I'm digging through the fiddy cent boxes at the geekshop last night, sure, long rows of long boxes, nothing bagged or even in order, everything mixed up. I'm hunting for all the Astro City I can find, you see, so it's taking some time, and I notice...at the far end of my current row stands an attractive woman, late twenties-ish, perusing a cabinet of figurines. Ok, whatever, where's them damn Astro Citys.
Like I say, it's taking me awhile--this is comic bargain hunting at it's finest. And she's still standing there...and standing there. She ain't just digging the super hero statues, I feel her eyes, she's snatching looks at me. I glimpse it from the corner of my eye, buncha times.
Whatever, Astro City, Astro City...
Finally, I think she's gone, I turn around to the row behind me--wham, there she is, eyes locked dead into mine before averting down to a box fulla Thor. Brief smile on her lips.
I probably should have approached her, saw what was up. But I was all sweaty and gross from work, and besides... Astro City! Astro City!
Think I done got all the cheap issues. Dang it.
