Sensuous Beckstep

ONE AFTERNOON AT MADWIMMIN BOOKS...

DID YOU FIND

ABSOLUTELY

UH... YES. THANKS. YOU'RE LOOK-I'S ALL ING FOR?

EVERYTHING

SET.

SO DIANE, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A VEGAN SEDER BEFORE. WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THE SHANK BONE?

OH, WE JUST USE PART OF AN OLD TOY DINOSAUR SKELETON. BUT THE EGGLESS MATZO BALLS ARE LIKE EATING LEAD SHOT.

Y'KNOW, IF YOU LIKE THIS BOOK, YOU'LL LOVE THE NEW EROTICA ANTHOLOGY, "HOT AND BUTTERED."

LOIS.

THEA, I'M JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A SERVICE.

I LIVE TO SERVICE. I MEAN, TO SERVE.

I'LL FINISH THIS. WHY DON'T YOU GO TIDY UP THE BUMPER STICKER DISPLAY.

IN THE BACK... AFTER I WATER THE PLANTS, SHOULD I FILL THE WEB ORDERS?

DON'T BOTHER. THERE AREN'T ANY AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE IF YOU DO A SEARCH FOR OUR WEB SITE, AN AD FOR THE ONLINE BOOKSELLING BEHEMOTH medusa.com SHOWS UP ON THE PAGE.

IT MAGICALLY SAYS "BUY BOOKS ON MADWIMMIN BOOKS." CLICK THE LINK, AND YOU'RE IN THEIR CLUTCHES.

WILL THOSE APS ARE THEY PROGRAMMED TO STICKAT SAY "BUY BOOKS NOTH ON" WHATEVER IT IS ING! YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR. IT'S NOT, LIKE, INTENTIONAL.

YEAH, RIGHT. MY ONLY CONSOLATION IS, THEY'RE TROUNCING THE ONLINE SALES OF BUNNISANOODLE AND BOUNDERS. & MUZAK, TOO.

AND THEY'RE STILL NOT TURNING A PROFIT.

CUTTHROATS! THEY EVEN HAVE TO WIN AT LOSING.

'KAY, LATER.

WHOA! SOPHIE AND MRS. ROBINSON? THE KID'S GOOD!

LOIS, THAT'S HER MOTHER.

OH. WELL DEAR THEN, IS SHE GOD, I AVAILABLE? HOPE

NOT.

DONT WORRY, JEZANNA. THIS ONLINE SHOPPING FAD WON'T LAST. HOW CAN BUYING A BOOK ON YOUR COMPUTER COMPARE WITH BROWSING THROUGH REAL BOOKS, THE HEFT OF AN ELEGANT VOLUME IN YOUR HAND...

THE SATISFACTION OF KNOWING YOUR MONEY IS SUSTANNING COMMU. NITY, NOT LAYING WASTE TO IT.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE

WARMTH OF HUMAN INTER. ACTION WITH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU LIKE.
