    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).

    It’s me

    Of course I’m the one feeding Quiver. How could you not, I mean look at this guy. Er ist doch mein kleines Schätzchen.

    Marv’s correct, he is grumpy and he is mean. But when he is not around people, he is the most cuddly wittle guy in the whole wide world. Just take a look at the picture below if you don’t believe me.

    Also, it seems he doesn’t like Curt at all. And that’s always okay in my book.

    Just kidding Curt. I don’t know if you have the internet and I also don’t know what you do, but if you read this, it’s all in good fun.

    And yes, Marv usually does these things but I thought I would jump on and mix it up a little. Do I have any recommendations? Yes! I do have one! (as a German I’m cringing at the amount of exclamation points I just used.)

    The Deadman Omnibus is out and if you didn’t pre-order it, do yourself a favor and pick it up. It’s his beginnings and early stuff so you got a whole lot of Neal Adams in there as well as, who I’m pretty sure is a God, José Luis García-López. Also Arnold Drake, the mastermind behind the first Doom Patrol series, is also a big factor. Yes, it’s an omnibus and it’s massive and expensive, but very much worth it.

    Bis bald,

    Franka
