And now, a sober moment with Velocity Comics grand poobah Patrick Godfrey:

Hey, folks--a quick friendly reminder that it helps us out a great deal if boxholders can clean out their boxes in a timely fashion. I respect that the economy lately has been challenging, but I ask that you also respect how that could affect your friendly comic shop if suddenly a lot of folks start spreading out their visits and not picking your books up as often as we'd like you to. I know we seem like bon vivants around here, glamour spilling from our pores, but we got bills to pay, too! Help us keep the boat running smoothly!
