original_post:_5/17/2007____________________________ This strip was very self referential. I was kind of in a rut with my old job and felt age creeping in. Now, 30 is not anywhere near old, but when you are almost 30, you sure feel that way. I wasn’t really sure what my next job would be, but I started looking around for something that would get me by, and was fortunate to find something I liked. It wasn’t actually working in a comic book store, although I’ve secretly always wanted to work in one.
