This weekend I picked up a bunch of minis from Desert Island, which to my mind is one of the best little comic shops in NYC. The guy who owns it, Gabriel Fowler (thank you internet), is very nice and there all the time so it's not a completely anonymous shopping experience. I'm so excited to talk about indie comics no one else I know reads that I probably come off as a little overeager and dorky but I'm fine with that. He asked me if I make comics and I said that I've done a couple things and am working on a webcomic right now and he said I should bring in some stuff. He keeps the minis on consignment which is pretty neat... I like buying comics that local artists have dropped off themselves. It makes me feel like the money isn't going into some big conglomerate's pocket.

So, stuff I bought this week:

Fart Party #4 1/2, #6, #7, Julia Wertz
Welcome to the Dahl House, Ken Dahl
Bugbear #1, Eleanor Davis & Drew Weing
FLUKE Anthology #6, Edited by Eleanor Davis
Eighth Days Out, Sarah Glidden
Conversation #2, James Kochalka & Jeffrey Brown

I think that may be it... at least ye gads I hope so. I also ended up buying Peepshow by Joe Matt for Simon, although hopefully he'll pay me back for that.
