Ssalefish GSO First Look #177 for 9.23.20
Tomorrow morning, we say goodbye to my third oldest friend (behind Carly and Tyler Klein), my beautiful brown-eyed girl, Maeby. We got her on Carly’s 21st birthday, and even though I acquiesced to her extravagant gift request by finding the ad on Craig’s List for free puppies, I made it clear that she would by my dog, if we broke up (we’d only been dating about a year at that point), she would come with me. Fortunately neither of them has left my side for the last 15 years.
While a mainstay at my old place of business on Wednesdays and Saturdays, she was an infrequent visitor to Ssalefish because her ever-shedding hair didn’t work with our light floors (Lois loses a TON of hair, you just can’t tell cause it blends in) and the older she got, she became more and more unsteady and uncomfortable on slick surfaces, but she still loved meeting everyone she could on Halloween ComicFest and Free Comic Book Day.
Unlike with Envy, who I feel like was taken from us too soon due to cancer back in 2017, I’m so lucky that I’ve gotten three more years with Mae than I ever thought would be possible given a lab’s typical lifespan and that she got to experience the backyard we also imagined for her since we were kids in college.

We can’t in good conscience blindly order a lower selling book like Cable or Excalibur on the same level as the flagship X-Men book, but we have ordered up, so if you are all in for all 24 parts, drop us a line!
