Why do comic fans get stereotyped so much?

[superboyprime]

A friend linked me to this yesterday, and I just had to share. Written and drawn by some guy who works in a comic book shop, Our Valued Customers is a webstrip in which he quotes actual things he's heard his customers say.



Some other stand-outs beneath the cut...

If they're the vanilla oreo kinda cookies, I'm in.

Those are good, are they? I've only ever had the regular kind, myself.

[nezchan]

Yeah, they only have them every other year, and the GGs don't really come 'round my neighborhood that I've been around for (pity, they'd probably do pretty well here), but I used to work in an office down the street from their HQ back east.

[psychopathicus_rex]

Ah. No wonder, then. The only cookies I tend to have are the homemade kind - which, to be fair, are pretty damn good.

[nezchan]

Mmm, I should make cookies this weekend. It'd be a nice reward for this frankly insane week. Four deadlines, and I'm sick on top of it.

[psychopathicus_rex]

In that case, make a double batch. That's what I did for Halloween. Cookies for days!

Hot Samoas on Thin Mints action!

Are Hot Samoas spicy cookies or something?

Re: OTP diet!

[teamrodent]

No, they're vanilla cookies coated in caramel, sprinkled with toasted coconut and laced with chocolate stripes. (AKA Caramel DeLites)

Sounds good! Coconut isn't really my thing, but otherwise - yum!
