This was Mike: Bookseller's latest comic:
OH LOOK WHO SHOWED UP AGAIN!!
Unlike last week, when I knew my character would be appearing, this comic was a total surprise. It made my day not only because this means comic-Suzi is a recurring character, but also because this exact situation happens ALL. THE. TIME. I've lost count of how many people will ask to see our brand-new books, but after I take them to our new books table they will end up picking an older classic in paperback because it's cheaper or because they want a book that's also a movie.
