The Return of the Sparkly Disco Lizard | Ben & Tom
Getting new issues of ODR in was like Christmas. No, it was better than Christmas (Ben would probably fight you on this). He’d jumped out of bed yesterday before his alarm had a chance to wake him and had run down the street (half in his PJs, half dressed) to unwrap the boxes that had been delivered.
Yesterday had been the worst, as he and Bianca tried to read in between customers. (Pro of owning a comic shop: you got to read the new stuff before anyone else. Cons? You might have to actually work that day.)
By today, however, he’d long finished it and was eager to sell it to everyone who walked in the door (or, after recovering from the shock, convince them to start the series if they hadn’t already). After trying (and failing) to try to form a coherent synopsis to some tourists who’d wandered in (and then promptly out again) a few moments ago, Ben was especially eager to see Tom. Finally, someone who would appreciate it! “You have to read this now.” He said, pushing it into his hand, not bothering with a hello, “Dude, check out the cover. Dezód is back!”
