Hey Testo, I’m hunting for the last issue of that forgotten '80s underground comic and could use a micro‑goal plan—any tips on how to structure the search?

Sure thing. Break it into bite‑sized moves: 1. Define the exact title, year, and publisher – no vague memories. 2. Flag the three most likely sources: local comic shops, auction sites, and library archives. 3. Spend 15 minutes each day scanning each source’s online catalog for that title. 4. If nothing shows up, send a short, polite email to each shop asking if they have any leads. 5. Keep a single spreadsheet with source, date checked, and any contact replies. 6. If you hit a dead end, schedule a 10‑minute “pivot” review: maybe the comic is mis‑indexed or under a different name. 7. Set a final push deadline of two weeks; if it’s still missing, broaden to indie comic forums and Facebook groups. Track every action, review progress each day, and reward yourself with a quick jog for every source checked. That’s your micro‑goal ladder. Good luck, detective.
