I was able to find the Staedtler pens at, of all place, an Office Depot.
It took a little sleuthing around, but I did find them. I had looked
online, first, to see where might have them (as my local art stores, at
the time, didn't have them. Where we are in MN now we don't even have a
local art store, although there sure is a heck of a good art "scene"!),
and found that Office Depot did. (It took some sleuthing in the actual
store, too, till I found them.)
