The danger of impulse purchases

[jeriendhal]

In other news I got my Girl Genius Space Saver order from Studio Foglio yesterday, and realized (after comparing what I recieved to what I have already bought) that I paid a grand total of $14.95 for two comic books (and extra covers). Okay, three if I include the issue that was in the softback collection I'd bought recently.

OTOH I could interpet it as having five (or six) comics that I could sell on E-bay if I wanted. :)

And anyway it was worth it for this message that was e-mailed to me to confirm my order:

"Your order has been received!

It is with Great Joy that we received your Studio Foglio
order. We know that you can purchase silly comics

That was an amusing confirmation e-mail! Was it you that originally posted the pointer to the Space-Saver, or someone else? Whoever it was - I ordered it myself, and I never bought any of them. I've just heard lots of good things about them.
