I asked the strangely-bearded-but-nice guy at my local comic/toy shop in Bromley if he had issue 3 of Strip Magazine. He obviously hadn't heard of it, but had a look on his computer... and he offered to order it in! He said it was up to two weeks delivery. He even took my number so he could give me a call when it turned up.
I didn't ask if they charge more for that, mind you. I assume they don't if it's anything like the way my local newsagent used to operate.
Yeah, I know this is nothing new. It's just quite new to me. I'm usually one of those shy types who looks at the display, then when I don't find what I want, just leave. Actually asking the staff questions is a bit of a big deal.. although it wasn't today for some reason.
I felt a bit silly when he asked me who published it though. I couldn't remember their name.. (shame on me)... "I can't remember but it's an East European company, I think Bosnian... but most of the creators are British, so it's based here." What?
I can be a right div, sometimes. I wonder with a name like 'Strip' if he thought it was a porn mag.
