Dear Economy,
FUCK YOU! Thanks to you I have to sell my comics because since everybody is so afraid of you, it is difficult to find a damn job. I have never been affected by your bullshit when your presence has been announced before, because I have always had a freaking job at the time!
I decided to move to Vegas about a year ago to check it out, and decided if I stayed there I would die young, drunk and tired. When I got back YOU were waiting for me, you turkey shit mole dumpling™

Everywhere I fucking go, you have already been there, and I get to hear “We aren’t hiring at the moment, in fact we’ve had to let some people go’ Thanks to the ECONOMY.” I have been unemployed for 4 months now, and my savings are almost gone.
Who the fuck do you think you are fucking with MY life? I have always been good to you, and this is how you repay me. Now I have to sell my comics to pay my Goddamn bills.(username {deleted} if anyone likes comics.) I love My comics, and I will get my revenge on you one day, but don’t know how.
I don’t even have the money right now to pay Glargh for using her trademark. FUCK!
That is username at Ebay, sorry for the typos and such, but this is a rant , dammit!
Hang in there Lilly, and best of luck. I’ve been poking at the job market myself a bit lately (and not liking what I’m seeing) so I think I know where you’re coming from…

Sorry ** Lynn**, I wasn’t meaning to advertise, I just thought I’d throw that in. It was part of the rant, I swear! I’m pretty upset over having to sell them. It was part of the rant, so that anybody who is into comics can see why I am so upset over this.
I once had to sell a huge collection of underground, hardcore comics but was able to buy them back. The sad thing (or good if you’re selling the product) is that I paid more to get them back than they originally were worth. They are still growing more expensive and am now looking at a large sum of money if I were to sell them again. Business is business now because of the rotten economy. It’s a shame it has to be so cold.

Having to stop buying and then sell your comics is a tragedy. They are so expensive now that… I won’t say more because it will just lead to you feeling worse.
I am really sorry for your circumstances.
