What about this guy?

Having failed to secure Discovery Channel funding to explore the possibility that the H.M.S. Titanic was sunk by a Kraken, Vic from Cryptozoology is hot on the trail of another elusive entity: the person or persons buying Archie n' Veronica Digest from supermarket checkout stands. The things are always stocked, always available. Someone is buying them.

But who?

And to what end?
