They also took a look at Psychedelicatessen: A Powerful Dose of Art by Steve Marcus while there, which had some incredibly amazing puns, Yiddish comic strips based off the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, and mighty trippy artwork. Then, a trip to Forbidden Planet NYC, The Strand, some non-spoilery thoughts on Marvel’s latest record-breaking movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. a bit of SDCC news, and more!
