I was sitting around the store, doing some basic administration, when Franka came up to me with an idea to publish a weekly comic depicting some of the happenings around expatNERD. She is our in-house artist so of course I couldn’t refuse. But naturally a weekly obligation seemed to me to be quite a hard deadline, but she reassured me she would be able to keep it and it wouldn’t stress her out. She even used the word fun.
I think Franka’s first attempt is good and pretty much sums up one of our most frequent customers’ exploits who always manages to make us laugh. I do expect Franka will probably keep using Curt often, if not exclusively.
And indeed, I do see those Preview catalogs with checklists in the back, but never thought to use them. Most of our pre-orders or pull-list requests come on physical visits or a list via email. But after looking at a few I think it is quite handy because it does sum up all the various books that will be released in two months, including the specific week of their release. But I must admit, until Curt handed one over to me, I didn’t think a lot of people used them.
I would be curious if anyone has used them and handed them over to their LCS?
Anyway, welcome to the first comic and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and until next time!
