How many occasions make up a literal handful?

No more than five.

Unless you're from Tasmania.

One would assume five, unless Ian's been in an accident.

EDIT: Superspeed coke to Spike, with better humor.

True (but boring) story.

I occasionally get the chance to go into Minotaur (it's in Melbourne for those geographically challenged). The crowd there usually seems fine, though I have seen some people treating the TPB section as a library.
The guys who work the counter seem knowledgeable and courteous enough.

Oh sure, it's a fine store in general (apart from their non-Big Two tpb section, which is bedlam). I was in no way trying to run the place down, or suggest that it's a pigsty, or anything like that.

Have you had a chance to get into All Star Comics? That's my favourite comic shop. I once missed meeting Bendis there by a mere couple of hours!
