Did anyone else see Usagi Yojimbo 118 sitting on the shelf when Penny and the guys walked into the comic shop? I think they showed it 2 or 3 times.

Season 2 Episode 20 - The Hofstadter Isotope

http://www.imdb.com/video/cbs/vi3160343321/

When Penny's holding the Hellblazer tpb you can see it over her right shoulder. You get a closer shot of it when she first walks into the store and all the guys stop and stare.

When Penny's talking to Stuart around :45 you can see it over the right shoulder of the balding guy. (Below the orange NEW sign)

Around :58 the NEW sign is no longer on the shelf. Look over Penny's right shoulder and you'll see two white rabbit ears and a blue kimono.

EDIT: 2nd row/3rd column

You can see it better when she first enters the shop around 5:17.

I'm still not certain it's there... you might need to screen grab and circle it to see if I'm looking at the same one you are...

Am I crazy? :P Does anyone else see it?

At 5:17 of the youtube video hit pause. There's a guy wearing glasses holding an opened comic. Directly above that comic is Fear Agent. Next to that is Usagi #118. Then to the right of Usagi is a bright yellow comic which I believe is The Scream #3.

P.S. I have no idea how to screen grab.

Ah, much better! Yes it is issue #118. There was so much glare off the baggie that I must have overlooked it in that shot :D

Your eyes must be better than mine, because I can barely make that out even in the still picture.

I don't want to sound too harsh about this show (I've never seen any of it other than this clip), but the writers might be surprised to know that a female person entering a comic book store or even (*gasp!*) reading comics isn't that unheard of.

Time to bore you with some more Big Bang Theory observations. :wink:

Usagi has a little more exposure in this weeks episode (The Classified Materials Turbulence). On the shelf next to B.P.R.D. is Usagi Yojimbo #117 and near the checkout counter you'll find the Dark Horse Usagi soft vinyl figure.

Stuart opened his new store this week and there's mostly DC Comics and Star Wars items. So sad.

I don't like this show as much as I once did, but I'll still watch it from time to time.

From what I've heard, this show is not nearly as good as it used to be. I don't watch it myself (never really liked it) but apparently they reuse the same jokes and most of them are mean-spirited.

I watched an episode now and then, but I always thought Sheldon was a putz. I'm a nerd but his attitude would have strained my every nerve. In the real world he'd have no friends.
