Today marks the start of a semi-regular feature that'll chronicle some of the "interesting" characters I've encountered in comic shops over the years. Chances are, you've seen a few of them too.
If you have any suggestions for future Who's Who candidates, post your ideas and I'll see what I can do. Who knows...maybe they'll match up with a few names in my already long list of future entries.

Let's see...there's the stereotypical know-it-all and the animated "dude" guy (he talks about comics in the most animated, action adventure film way and uses "dude" as every other word) and the ranter (everything sucks to this person). Those are three I can think off right off the top of my head.

Good ideas, Loren!
Now that I've started the ball rolling, I think my visits to the local comic shop will be a little more bearable (since I'll be scouting for "material").
