  • Stuff and Things: It’s hip to be square

    What’s happenin folks!? Hope y’all enjoyed free comicbook day yesterday and got the comics you were after. Huey Lewis and the News once taught us all that it was indeed “hip to be square” but a quick jaunt through town on a Saturday afternoon makes you realize this was no catchy song of the 80’s,…
