And Finally… The Comic Store That A Community Saved

Comic stores often live and die by the quality of their window displays.

This weekend, Little Fish Comics in Fredericksburg, Virginia had one of its windows smashed. It's a local thing, apparently, someone going around breaking business windows with a slingshot or a BB gun.

The store is a little strapped for cash, and the insurance deductible was higher than the cost of fixing the glass. So what to do?

Well, one of their customers set up a Gofundme page. That goal was met in a day and more money has come in since.

As a result, tomorrow, the glass people are coming t board up the window and arrange the delivery and installation of a new window.

Right now its covered with Diamond Comics boxes and duct tape. Which works surprising well but… no.
