Garfield (of all the damned things)

Jim Davis’ products leave me cold. I’ve never made an effort to keep Garfield books in stock; they are cheap and common.
Too often I find a customer asking for a book that I’ve stopped buying because I assume we already have enough if not too many copies. A kid was looking for Garfield books a few weeks ago. We were out. Two days later a young girl came in with a stack. Although I never expected the boy who’d wanted them to ever return I bought them.
Today the boy was back today and bought one. He seemed really happy to find it. As little as I care for Garfield it did remind me of how kind the man behind the counter at Lamas Brothers Newsstand in Savannah was when I came into buy my comics every week.
