    11 – New Staff – Part II

    Quiver’s intentions are bit more realized, though he does talk like he is from another planet. As if we need to be studied and as if Curt should represent the entire human race for said study.

    Either way, it was a shock when it was apparent that he is not going away any time soon. And as we all know that Franka seems to enjoy his company, I do fret that it will be longer than his intended year.

    We are now eleven (!) installments into our first year and we will officially hit the quarter mark next week. We do have some fun entries coming up and you can expect more multiple parters. They are a bit easier for Franka to conceptualize and keep it moving, but we’ll also have quite a few ‘ones and dones’ that pokes fun at the comic book industry, albeit in a positive way. Which is the mission of Solicitations and I do hope this has come across.

    I think Franka will take over on Thursday so I can sweep up all the loose fur on the floor. I guess Ligers do shed?

    10 – New Staff Part I

    Sometimes you do not know who you are going to get when you hire someone to run the store, but I do know there is definitely a process and procedure and I am pretty sure Quiver did not go through that. I also do not think Quiver should be talking to anyone much less our customers. But Franka assured me with her around it will be okay. I assume there will be a part II to this story as this is indeed part I, so I am very curious to see what is going to happen.

    Also we do have another reveal. Curt is indeed American, and we try not to put that against him. I do not think Curt is very political but when you live abroad and the United States is the way it is at this moment, I am sure he does tend to get a lot of questions. But like I always say, your citizenship does not necessary constitute or reflect your world view. We love you Curt!

    And I think that is it for this post. Stay tuned next week for part two and another pick by me (or Franka if she hijacks this thing again).
