opendoor-comics.comThe Haul For 10.25.26My local comic shop had its Fall Lot Con today, and for the fist time since they started doing them, I decided to check it out.

To the extent I can with my largely aphantasic mind, I've pictured it a certain way, even as I couldn't recall the exact comic or context in which it appeared. I had my suspicions about the comic, but rather than just digging the comic out of its box and making sure, I asked about it on Bluesky - without naming the comic I thought it was from - and received a response that validated my suspicion.
