Oh, how I loath UPS. A few years ago my dad tried to mail a loaf of bread to me (hey, its really AWESOME bread that you can only get in Utah and the company doesn’t to Washington), but UPS lost the package. About 3 weeks after it was suppose to arrive, it found its way back to my dads doorstep, in all its moldy glory.
However, you’re situation sucks much harder.
Hopefully they’ll yank their heads out of their asses and get your comics to you.

You got your books back….see this is what I get for not reading ahead.

I was all ready to discreetly ask you what books went missing and then organize some elaborate “Get Julia new books” thingamajig, and then I read more and saw you got them. Which I’m very glad of, because that would have been alot of work for me.

Good lord! They lost your comics! That scared me for the few seconds it took me to read to the end of the comic! You must have been shitting bricks after a week!

Oh, how I feel your pain. I once had a box of favorite comix disappear in a move — all my American Splendors, Weirdo, original R. Crumbs, who knows what else. Sure taught me a lesson about attachment. Jeez. But hey, your box could still show up, just like that moldy bread. (BTW for whenever you ship the rest of your stuff: I just moved a small truckload of my things cross-country and I can tell you that FedEx ground kicked UPS’ butt — faster, cheaper [about half the price], and better tracking.)

This is why i make lists. Everything in my life could burn in a fire, and if I had my lists, i could say this is how cool i was.

that’s retarded. Who cares if people know what you have? Regarding the publics knowledge of my comics, that could have been a box full of Garfield comics for all I give a shit.

Nothing wrong w/Garfield. I had a Peanuts collection myself. (but they were hidden by The Crow, Deadworld, X-Men, and Fangoria magazines…hey, I couldn’t let my friends know I was a Snoopy freak heheh)

I would be heartbroken if that happened to me. At least you got them back. Whenever I travel I try and keep my books in my carry on just in case.
