As we chatted, a friend of mine, jokingly referred to as "Jab," walked by and noticed the setup. Being a bit of a jokester, Jab couldn't resist teasing Alex about the venture, questioning the viability of such a niche event. Alex, with a laugh, responded with a witty remark about Jab's lack of comic book knowledge, turning what could have been a jab into a playful banter.
