How do you

How do you lose 30-some-odd boxes of graphic novels? I suppose this is how the first one is supposed to go right? Obstacle after obstacle. Scraping by, only just, barely avoiding splitting your head open on the barricade?

There's only one thing worse than being the awkward bastard at your first comic's release party signing table and that's being the awkward bastard at the release party with no comic to sell. Fortunately the good people at James River Press have promised to save me from such a gristly fate and will ship an emergency batch of graphic novels just in case UPS can't find our boxes in time.

DON'T YOU WORRY: Worst case scenario there will be an extra 100 or so Something Animals to stuff sideways into people's stockings this year.

Could be worse.
