A moral quandry at Free Comic Book Day

From Andy Ihnatko’s observations at his local comic shop’s celebration of Free Comic Book Day earlier this month,

Free Comic Book Day: The Grad-School Thesis:

I also liked the sibling dynamics on display. The shop imposed a limit if six free comics per person. Most of the big publishers produce an array of Free Comics for the event, which this store augments with some of it’s own inventory. Call it 18 to 20 different free comics

So here comes the child psychology. You’re here with your two siblings. If you pool your resources, you can run the table and come home with the whole library.

OR…you can come home with just a third of them. AND you won’t have to share them with anybody.

I honestly don’t know which response indicates a better-adjusted kid and family.
