Prequel to "Waiting in line at Capitol comics" about Stuart. Part 2, one month later.
##################################
Sam entered the crowded Costa Mesa Comic Centre with a 10 year old boy wearing a Star Trek T-shirt.
"Hi Stuart, crowded again!"
"You said it Sam, people are coming to buy my pictures as much as they buy Comic Books."
"Stuart, I would like to introduce my nephew Alfie. His parents are away today so I am looking after him. Alfie, this is the man who drew you with Mr. Spock."
"Thanks, that was a neat present. Can I look around the store Uncle Sam?"
"Have a look Alfie, I need to have a word with Stuart and then we can look together."
"Thanks for the suggestion about the pictures Sam, I should be able to pay the bills this month. I have saved you a copy of the new Batman."
"Thanks Stuart, could you excuse me as I need to show Alfie your wonderful store. I will be back to pay for Batman and whatever Alfie wants."
"Next please, that's right, you get a free picture if you spend more than 50 dollars in the store..."

Two months later, in an even more crowded Costa Mesa Comic Centre, Sam was paying for his Batman Comic Book.
"Really crowded this week Stuart, thanks for saving Batman for me."
"No problem Sam, how is your nephew doing."
"He still loves Mr. Spock. OK, I can see you are busy, I will see you next week."
"Bye Sam, OK next please."
"Hi are you Stuart Bloom?"
"That is right, owner, proprietor and sole employee of the Costa Mesa Comic Centre."
""My name is Paul Deng, I work for Star Trek at Paramount. We have seen your pictures and we are very impressed. As you no doubt know we are in pre-production for the new 'Spock' TV series and we are going to publish some Comic Books as a tie-in for the series. How would you like to help with these Comic Books?"
