Among all the stupidities of this Crankshaft storyline, somehow the one that hits me the most is that everyone seems to think that books are distributed only through bookstores, as if Amazon/Kindle, Apple Books and Kobo didn’t exist.
Considering we already had the flash forward during what was supposed to be the end of Funky, saying that Lillian’s store was the only one to survive “the burnings” there isn’t exactly a lot of dramatic tension here.
Good point. The female characters are sure written like its 1953 most of the time.
