Lots of folks ask us what former Quimployee Logan Bay’s been doin’ since his move to Thailand earlier this year. “Yeah, dunno” has been our stock answer thus far, but it seems that for real Logan’s been quite the hardcore Thai horror comics collector since landing in Krungthep. Check it out!

Due to last minute circucmstances beyond our control (cough Green Lantern cough), the Michel Gondry Event scheduled at Quimby’s Bookstore on Saturday, March 14th has been cancelled.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, including getting your hopes up and everything. We’re just as bummed as you are, I assure you!
XOXO,
Quimby’s Bookstore
“Hello, Quimby’s.”
“Yeah, I got a question about this Sawzall you got on up your websi-”
“Sawzall? I think you have the wrong number.”
“This the Quimby’s on North Ave?”
“Yes, bookstore. No hardware.”
“I got the right Quimby’s. I want a Sawzall like the ones you got on your website.”
“You’re on the website now? What does the page say?
“It says Sex Machines on it I want one of those.”
“Yeah, see, it’s a book with pictures of sex machines. We sell the book with the pictures, not the machines.”
“‘Oh. You don’t sell the machines..? Then where do I get the Sawzalls at?”
“For a sex machine? I don’t know. Not here. Try Myopic.”
“You sell the attachments?”
Phone: Ring! Ring!
Me: Hello, Quimby’s.
Caller: Can you tell me if you have something in stock?
Me: Of course, what are you looking for.
Caller: I want a tin piggy bank that says, “I’m saving up for knitting lessons!”
Me: Ah, no, miss. I am afraid we don’t carry tin piggy banks that say things.
Caller: [Exhales] Guess I will have to keep looking. Thank you.
Me: Good luck!
In the neighborhood? Spend some time basking the glory of our new window display by artist Zachary Huelsing (of Eyerocket Books). With a cast of characters including a nun, a rapper, a baseball catcher, a calculator, a leather daddy, some dogs in love, and a rainbow, it’s kind of like a technicolor rebus for the forces of good.
