I am a Fugitive

Yesterday, after work, I went to the comic book store, even though I’m a 30 year old man. I wanted to catch up on superhero current events, but the issues I wanted weren’t out yet. Before leaving, I absentmindedly flipped through a comic, and after 10 minutes, the clerk politely asked: “What are you reading?”

Me: “Is it incredibly horrible for me to do this?”
Clerk: “Well, it’s kind of like stealing.”
Me: “Yeah.”

Ashamed, I shelved the book and started to walk out. A couple entered into the store. The clerk called out after me “I don’t think you’re a bad person!”

She did the right thing though. I’m a bad person. I brazenly stole half a comic book and now it’s inside my brain.

You should all buy comics from Secret Headquarters.
