Because, yes, "Free Comic Book Day" is, of course, not a charity event. It is a way to suck in unsuspecting mothers who want to take their sons on a Saturday outing, and, seeing the word "free", think this is just the place for some bonding to take place. Unfortunately, I missed the meeting where they changed the rules and decided that bonding cannot take place unless cash is spent.
I shouldn't be such a cynic. The boys have already had my money's worth out of their purchases. #3 even slept with the action figure he chose. Guess $18 isn't such a big deal. They've actually been fighting a little less since they've had the distraction of their new items. Yeah, there's the ticket...
Time again for a commercial break...

I don't even like gummy bears! What a ripoff.

$18 is nothing.
I wasted hundreds on Spider-man.
P.S>
I put a hit out on the comic book guy.
I know $18 isn't much, Hippo. Actually, Mentok has been a collector since he was a boy, and we have thousands of dollars worth of comics and collectibles in our basement.
Lucky me!
