It was not easy to do… they have traveled thousands of miles through rugged terrain, and over an ocean, and at great peril… but the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, “The Cartoonist’s Best Friend” is now available in the Twin Cities. The casualties were regrettable, but we no longer have to rely on the black market to acquire the legendary brush pen, which, in addition to being the ultimate inking tool also cures warts, works as a dowsing tool, and can be used to control weaker minds. Thanks much to Tim at Wet Paint Art for making the effort to get us a supply of these difficult to find pens in town… Tim is also putting together an email list for cartoonists & other artists to keep them posted on art supply sales at Wet Paint, so if you’re interested, email him and let him know… email tim at wetpaintart.com… only using @ instead of at with no spaces.
ADDED 5/3: I just heard from Tim that the pens are selling at Wet Paint currently for a very reasonable $18… he is still researching finding a steady supplier so he will hopefully be able to bring the price down further.
Speaking as the “black market” in question: I’m offended.
Don’t worry Zander… we’ll all still get our Canadian drugs, Swedish pornography, semi-automatic weapons, bathtub gin and Spanish fly from you.
As a matter of fact… I just got another shipment of the pens in a couple days ago. If anyone is interested, you can email me or bring $15 to a Conspiracy Meeting.
