Tesd and Walt Flanagan got me through construction jobs I saved my money invested in collections and now own a successful comic toy and Pokémon shop in my area. I was a die hard listener but have since fallen off it’s a little daunting now but I will go back and listen to what I missed in the past 2 years
jeez only 3 years ago I was listening to this song on repeat. Becoming came out so quickly after For Now and just arghhh! This is a really hard working band and it pays off and shows!

His olfactory sense is so powerful that he actually smells the flow of where the lyrics desire to be and guides his genius on that alone...hes this generations more useful and less whiny Rudolph...
I'm currently listening to older episodes of Tell em Steve Dave. I just listened to the episodes about this song. I'd like to see this music video acted out by Walt Flanagan.
Anybody else notice how Phoenix seems to be happier in this song just singing and not having to drum in the video? Would love to hear Phoenix sing more!!
i was hearing the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave podcast where they played other versions of the song and then this one, and i must say, this one def. stands, keep up the good work, love your sound
Walt Flanagan did a great job writing this song. and you guys did a great job making it into some sweet music. I'm glad Ming plays this before I Sell Comics every week, very catchy tune. will be buying it off Bandcamp guys! GO TESD ARMY, & Courage my love too.
Full lyrics: What manner of creature stands behind this counter Man or machine is the big mystery With every transaction comes the sweet satisfaction As I cement my place in history It's just another sale (come on buy em up you just can't get enough) To this comic selling alpha male.... I could sell comics to a blind man (a Wednesday warrior through and through) And you'll buy every single thing I tell you to Cos I sell comics baby (come on buy em up you just can't get enough) I sell comics baby (come on buy em up you can't get enough) My fingers dance over the cash register Don't look so surprised I'll leave your mouth agape And it's not because I make King Kong look like just another ape It's just another sale (come on buy em up you can't get enough) To this comic selling alpha male I could sell comics to a blind man (a Wednesday warrior through and through) And you'll buy every single thing I tell you to Cos I sell comics baby (come on buy em up you just can't get enough) I sell comics baby (come on buy em up you can't get enough) I could sell comics to a blind man And you'll buy every single thing I tell you to I sell comics baby (come on buy em up you just can't get enough) I sell comics baby (come on buy em up you can't get enough)
Its August 24, 2020. Idky but I just had to go back in time and find this band again. I'm so glad I liked a couple of and a of them. Because I already forgot about them
I love this song so damn much. Both female singers are incredible and I love their attitude. Yeah they leave my mouth agape. The guitar riffs in this song are also outstanding.
Still great song. !!! I still play it all the time!!! Love that when listening on headphones that sometimes you can hear you guys laughing in the background....
I havent been able to find this song in 10 years!! So happy to have finally figured out the name. It's been driving me crazy being stuck in the back of my brain!
My absolute favorite CML song to this very day. I just scrolled through my iPod about a week ago, because I've been using Spotify for the past 2 years and wanted to add all my forgotten music from my iPod, and BOOM! I stumbled across CML and IMMEDIATELY looked for this song. It's not on Spotify. 😭
i think you are AMAZING i love listening to your music no matter what it mood im in just listening and rocking out to your songs makes me feel so much better! wish i could see you live!
I love how it sounds like at the end there's just a little bit of screamo in the background screaming "I"! Just the smallest amount of screamo in a song gets me going and loving a song more. But if there's TOO much, like in a death metal band with full out screamo, then it's too much for me. But anything from the smalest amount like this song to the amount used in BFMV or ESTK music is prefect for me.
Dude, I know! On the 12th they are playing a show and they said they would play some new songs! Someone has to video tape that for me and put it up on youtube because I can't go because I live in the USA, not Canada... Even so I'm really excited. Love CML!
I looked at some of their newer stuff. This song has something about it that makes it unique, and actually pretty good. I'm not entirely sure what happened from here, but the music kind of lost it's UMPH.
After all these years, this is still my faourite CML song ♥
Sarah's Spark ✧ me 2😁😍
HANDS DOWN
their best for sure
Walt Flanagan - The worlds most normal songwriter.
Relistening to old TESD episodes and yup, this tune still kicks ass.
Ikr!
2024 still headbanging to this classic \m/
I SOLD Comics! -Walt 2023
Fucking love this song. Such a shame it's not on spotify!
Honestly!
I need a “12 years later” version for posterity and nostalgia, js
This is quite possibly the best song I have ever heard in my entire life.
You can thank Walt Flanagan for this gem
Listening in 2023 😂
2024❤❤❤
crazyyyy
Still a banger 🎉
Tesd and Walt Flanagan got me through construction jobs I saved my money invested in collections and now own a successful comic toy and Pokémon shop in my area. I was a die hard listener but have since fallen off it’s a little daunting now but I will go back and listen to what I missed in the past 2 years
10 years later and I still really like this song.
Can you please put this on Spotify please?
Every time this is mentioned on TESD I have to come back and listen
well nearly 11 years later still a good song
Listening to this whilst I sold comic books and worked in a comic book store was legit a dream come true
Sweet.
jeez only 3 years ago I was listening to this song on repeat. Becoming came out so quickly after For Now and just arghhh! This is a really hard working band and it pays off and shows!
Walt Flanagan has such a natural gift for songwriting
Listening in Sept. 2024!
You guys should totally re-record this song its awesome

Stop asking who's still listening. We're always listening.
Walter Flanagan, Wednesday warrior and a lyrical genius.
His olfactory sense is so powerful that he actually smells the flow of where the lyrics desire to be and guides his genius on that alone...hes this generations more useful and less whiny Rudolph...
Walter Flanagan's powers come from being the only normal person in the world. I hear his dog used to be pretty fast, too.
Tell Em' Steve Dave!
You guys should commission Walt to help write a comic themed concept album.
Omg this still goes so hard, remember it from my teen years!!
I love the video. Just so homemade and its looks like you put some time into it. I love it and the song was great, first song i heard, subscribed.
Hahaha the elderly people at the end too, priceless.
I'm currently listening to older episodes of Tell em Steve Dave. I just listened to the episodes about this song. I'd like to see this music video acted out by Walt Flanagan.
Still here in 2024
Anybody else notice how Phoenix seems to be happier in this song just singing and not having to drum in the video? Would love to hear Phoenix sing more!!
yea i realized she was on a guitar like half a second after i posted that XD
i love all courage my love but the old songs like bridges and this song were my favorite and i wish they made more songs like those
3:01 Mercedes...
i was hearing the Tell 'Em Steve-Dave podcast where they played other versions of the song and then this one, and i must say, this one def. stands, keep up the good work, love your sound
My life has opened to a whole new way of seeing comics.
that old couple at the end made me laugh so hard and my mom just looked at me like i was on crack
Just discovered this song and band, and it's about Walt? Awesome!
Walt Flanagan did a great job writing this song. and you guys did a great job making it into some sweet music. I'm glad Ming plays this before I Sell Comics every week, very catchy tune. will be buying it off Bandcamp guys! GO TESD ARMY, & Courage my love too.
One of the best byproducts of the Viewaskewniverse.
so it has been 4years already... damnit
Still rules over a decade later.
Mercedes forgot how to run :DD
Can't stop replaying this.
Full lyrics:
What manner of creature stands behind this counter
Man or machine is the big mystery
With every transaction comes the sweet satisfaction
As I cement my place in history
It's just another sale
(come on buy em up you just can't get enough)
To this comic selling alpha male....
I could sell comics to a blind man
(a Wednesday warrior through and through)
And you'll buy every single thing I tell you to
Cos I sell comics baby
(come on buy em up you just can't get enough)
I sell comics baby
(come on buy em up you can't get enough)
My fingers dance over the cash register
Don't look so surprised I'll leave your mouth agape
And it's not because I make King Kong look like just another ape
It's just another sale
(come on buy em up you can't get enough)
To this comic selling alpha male
I could sell comics to a blind man
(a Wednesday warrior through and through)
And you'll buy every single thing I tell you to
Cos I sell comics baby
(come on buy em up you just can't get enough)
I sell comics baby
(come on buy em up you can't get enough)
I could sell comics to a blind man
And you'll buy every single thing I tell you to
I sell comics baby
(come on buy em up you just can't get enough)
I sell comics baby
(come on buy em up you can't get enough)
I love it at the end when she throws the comics in the air and the old couple stares at her like "WTF? Are you crazy woman?" xD
their best song and it isn't even on spotify :(
Stopping by in 2022 to listen again. Still dope. TESD.
4 years later and I still always laugh when Mercedes bites it at the end. You ladies kick ass, Doing KW proud.
I can't even begin to explain the happy feeling this song gives me.
Its August 24, 2020.
Idky but I just had to go back in time and find this band again. I'm so glad I liked a couple of and a of them. Because I already forgot about them
@@wildcat002 i feel old when I hear old songs. Especially ones that are almost 10 years old
I love this song so damn much. Both female singers are incredible and I love their attitude. Yeah they leave my mouth agape. The guitar riffs in this song are also outstanding.
2022 gang
wow.. i remember going to choir with those two girls years and years ago... crazy how time flies.. amazing song ♥
I'd buy their comics tbh c;
wtf this is sick
This should've been recorded
My favorite "I Sell Comics" theme. Love this song.
TESD!
Still great song. !!! I still play it all the time!!!
Love that when listening on headphones that sometimes you can hear you guys laughing in the background....
They're so nice they probably went back to pick up the comics they dropped at the end, 'cause it's damaging for nature.
I have been jamming to this since I was 12 (10 years ago) and FINALLY live the dream. Started working at a comic book store last week 🤘
Congrats! Good luck at the new job!
I love how Mercedes just falls right back down in that one part.
Shout out to mc lovin being in your band
Who the hell's the kid in the back when there on the swing? xD
This song is awesome.
I havent been able to find this song in 10 years!! So happy to have finally figured out the name. It's been driving me crazy being stuck in the back of my brain!
Phoenix though... damn she is cute!
My absolute favorite CML song to this very day. I just scrolled through my iPod about a week ago, because I've been using Spotify for the past 2 years and wanted to add all my forgotten music from my iPod, and BOOM! I stumbled across CML and IMMEDIATELY looked for this song. It's not on Spotify. 😭
"Tell'em Steve Dave!"
it's once in a lifetime that you find friends as good as these :)
Please sell this song
Sorry I am a little late to the show on this one but this is my new favorite thing ever made! :D
When she tripped at like 3.05 xD that old couple at the end too

greetings from Chile ✌🏻🇨🇱
It's so awesome that Oh, Sleeper is one of her big influences
I love how it sounds like at the end there's just a little bit of screamo in the background screaming "I"! Just the smallest amount of screamo in a song gets me going and loving a song more. But if there's TOO much, like in a death metal band with full out screamo, then it's too much for me. But anything from the smalest amount like this song to the amount used in BFMV or ESTK music is prefect for me.
TELL 'EM STEVE-DAVE!
Amazing. Like paramore, only wayyyyy better... I love these guys!!! One of my new favorites. Why aren't they as big as everyone else? Amazing talent.
If I ever make it to Canada I think it'll be to see these awesome people live!!!!
Dude, I know! On the 12th they are playing a show and they said they would play some new songs! Someone has to video tape that for me and put it up on youtube because I can't go because I live in the USA, not Canada... Even so I'm really excited. Love CML!
Glad to see a Kitchener band, make it. crazy songs, and a beauty of a singer. great job CML
I love how the old couple at the end is like "wtf?".
I should be allowed to like this once a year...
Thank God that Ming mentioned your name in the last podcast. Really enjoy this song.
i love how this song is so random and yet its one of my favourites. X)
i listen to this song like 30 times a day lol
I've had this song on repeat for 4 hours and I still haven't heard it enough times..
Thank you Tell em Steve Dave for giving CML this song
Walter Flanagans incredible lyricist skills here! Love it!
Officaly new favourite song
This is quite possibly my favorite song about selling comics.
I looked at some of their newer stuff. This song has something about it that makes it unique, and actually pretty good. I'm not entirely sure what happened from here, but the music kind of lost it's UMPH.
On behalf of the Comic-book nerds of the world, I salute you.
