A three-panel comic of very basic line drawing characters. The first panel shows one character saying "I always start to cry when I get into an argument. But I've hard that's pretty common." The second panel shows another character saying "I've heard it's not." The third panel shows the original character, now looking angry with tears in their eyes.

A still from the Simpsons showing four business men standing around a desk and all looking at the camera in wide-eyed shock. It is from the episode "Lisa the Iconoclast," and depicts the moment representatives of Long John Silver's restaurant learn that Jedediah Springfield was actually a pirate named Hans Sprungfeld.

I'm not sure why, but the old owner used a marble countertop for one of my store's front desks. I added a new sign, for safety.

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

(I, personally, would only credit one of those bands with a perfect album anyway, and wouldn't have been what I picked even without telling me I couldn't)

I come across a lot of stupid books in my line of work, but this one is a DOOZY
The cover of "Shepherds For Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda" by Megan Basham. It depicts the silhouette of a man at a pulpit with a crucifix on it. He has puppet strings coming from his arms and shoulders.

Shout out to whoever drove their Toyota over the sidewalk and into the side of the bookstore yesterday. Thanks for not coming in to admit what you'd done. Glad you didn't kill anyone, it was super crowded downtown!

(I know it was a Toyota because part of their bumper fell off)

Adding this one
Expanding Mind Meme format: 1st panel with a dull brain says "Frankenstein is a monster." 2nd panel with a normal brain says "Actually, Frankenstein is the doctor." 3rd panel with a bright brain says "Actually, doctor Frankenstein is the *real* monster. 4th panel with a galaxy brain says "actually, Frankenstein is not a doctor. He's a college dropout."
