A 5 panel comic. Panel 1: Bird has a sidewalk stand selling socks and “magic socks.” Li and Shoelace the cat approach. Li: “Excuse me, what makes these socks magic?” Panel 2: Bird: “They keep your feet warm.” Panel 3: Li: “Don’t all socks do that?” Panel 4: Bird (sweating nervously): Uh, but these socks do it with MAGIC." Panel 5: Li and Shoelace shown at home, sitting in lounge chairs, wearing their new “magic” socks. Li: “OOOOOH.”

    I’ve been in some craft shops before that sold all sorts of crystals and other knick-knacks, and while I would never believe they have some magical power, there were some pretty cool things. The prices though… not that they were overpriced really, just that I couldn’t afford them. :D

    I got a meteorite for last Christmas that I keep on my desk. Technically it’s just a little lump of pitted metal, one of hundreds of thousands sold. But it’s neat to look at and think about sometimes.

      Yeah they’re expensive, but again not a subscription!
