I suspect they are probably in G/VG condition, but still it is nice to have them!

Walmart sells comics? I should try my local spot.

I found one more "Print is Dead" Wigum book at Barnes&Noble today. I know a friend who went to Wondercon and the Bongo tables only had the 3 regular "direct market" Ralphs and none of the other 2 newsstands/bookstore variants. Bill Morrison told him the newsstand would be the toughest one to find. It didn't sound like he knew where they shipped exactly either. lol

Also scored a set of these for under $20 from my shop last week:

The classic Jim Davis orange cover is the best one.
