OK, yes, there is nothing “indie” or “alternative” about Quasar, but trust me, the other features in this comic will continue to live up to the title.

So … a little background here. I worked at 7-Eleven when I was 13/14. I was a stock boy, and not the only one. It was my friend Rich, I believe, who got me the job there. Another middle school classmate worked there, too, but I don’t remember his name.
Anyway, the place was owned by this old man who looks kinda like the “clerk” in this strip. Sadly, I don’t remember his name. His second-in-command was a guy who reminded me of Ted Danson’s character in Cheers. He was a tall, good-looking guy who was way into baseball. I don’t remember his name either.
I worked there for about a year, I think, mostly stocking beverage shelves, refilling the soda fountain, cleaning, etc. In the summer, it was awesome, because I could hide from the heat inside the beverage cooler, which is where I spent most of my time. But in the winter? Yeah, that kinda sucked, as this was in Pennsylvania, and back then it actually snowed in the winter, like all the time.
Anyway, I think 1989 (maybe ‘88?) was the first year a new sports card line launched, Pro Set. At the time, I was a moderate collector of trading cards, both football and baseball (though mostly football). But before Pro Set came along, the cards were still of the crappy, uncoated, cardstock variety that Topps had been making for decades. Pro Set raised the bar. Their photos were great, their printing was vibrant, their design was bright and modern, and their paper stock was slick. So of course, I gobbled up as many Pro Set football cards as I could.
Today, most of my trading cards — both sports and comics-related — are missing (wonder if my brother has any idea where these are, as I used to have them in protective sheets in 3-ring binders). To this day, however, I still have a business card box full of that year’s Pro Set series, probably a nearly-complete set.
Tomorrow, we’ll talk more about 7-Eleven. And trading cards. What else do you want to talk about?
if someone could point me to the original I would be forever grateful
