Two Nerds Are Running A Store…
Our favourite comic nerds, Brad and Mike are back. Brad still hasn’t trimmed his beard and Mike still can’t grow one.
They are behind the counter, as usual.
Mike: You are such a fucking idiot!
Brad: What? I’m allowed to have an opinion, aren’t I?
Mike: You shouldn’t be, not when it’s that stupid!
Brad: It doesn’t make sense that an opinion can be stupid, it by default is something of subjectivity and personal and so is not able to be perceived by others, just acknowledged.
Mike stares at Brad blankly.
Mike: That is the biggest fuckhead sentence I have ever heard.
Brad smiles.
Brad: Ha, it wasn’t that bad.
Mike: Yes, it was. Do you want me to play it back for you? Oh, hang on, I can’t, I’m not a complete douche bag, so I wouldn’t have the ability.
Brad: You are such a dramatist.
Mike: Says the guy who just had Faulkner’s dick fall out his mouth.
Brad: You are, all this over one statement, a statement that was only my personal opinion.
Mike: But a wrong personal opinion.
Brad rolls his eyes and picks up a copy of Y: The Last Man, one of the early ones.
Mike: Don’t hide behind that, I’m sure people here heard what you said, don’t think Vaughan can save you.
Brad: I don’t need saving. You know what, fuck you, I am completely standing behind my statement now and I say you are wrong. Hear that word, I’m sure you have before, wrong. You, my little friend, are wrong.
Mike looks out over the store.
Mike: You want me to get a show of hands.
Brad looks around.
Brad: Don’t bother, which one of these geeks would ever choose Bendis’ run over Miller’s. There is no power in your numbers.
Mike smiles, a small victory, but all must be equal in the universe.
Another two minute scene. These guys crack me up.
