Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA
Porter Square Books in (you guessed it) Porter Square have copies of The Ragbox. Thank you, Jane
Of course, Hub Comics in Union Square is well-stocked. If you’ve never been there, make the trip. It’s a big, beautiful space with hardwood floors, comfortable chairs, and none of the creepy comic shop vibe.
The Ragbox is making its way into local bookstores. The first stop was, of course, Million Year Picnic in Harvard Square. If it’s not the oldest comic book shop in the US, it’s definitely one of the coolest. Tony, the owner, has been a huge supporter local talent.
The next stop was the Harvard Book Store, the celebrated locally-owned book store that’s won every possible award a book store can win (the “Bookies”?). I love the staff, the selection, and the used collection dowstairs.
The squid and the whale, the Antheneans and the Peloponnesians, me the Paypal. All struggles eventually have their victor. You can order The Ragbox here, along with all the comics anthologies from the Boston Comics Roundtable.
Love and concern for your well-being make family members an easy mark for your book sales, god bless ’em. The same puppydog look has rocketed my career in chance drive tickets, car washes, mowed lawns, and items from the Tom-Wat Showcase. I’m sitting on a stack of hand-carved wooden goose statuettes if anyone wants to get in on the ground floor.
The Ladies, it seems, had already left.
Some might argue I’m actually here for a cousin’s wedding, but that’s a glass half empty view.
The photo below is proof that the airport knew I was coming, but I couldn’t find the rest of my “distinct” compatriots.
