1:00Copy video clip URL Under voice-over narration, Ranstrom walks into Quimby’s Queer Store. He introduces Steven Svymbersky, founder and owner of the store. Svymbersky talks about the items he carries – “unusual, small-press, underground, hard-to-find magazines, books, and comics.” He shows Ranstrom the racks of fanzines and small-press magazines. He says that Quimby’s customers are all looking for something different. He tells Ranstrom that he keeps in touch with many of the comic artists who live in the Chicago area, such as Dan Clowes and Terry LaBan. Svymbersky ends the interview by giving out the store’s address.

At his request, they demonstrate some stuntwork, engaging in a mock bout of fisticuffs. They then pretend to rough up Ranstrom, sending faux-punches at him and flinging him across the room. One of the teachers gives the address and phone number of the academy and invites interested prospective students to visit.
