TWO THINGS
The most memorable things to come out of our trip to NYCC 2017 were the “Let’s Get a Big Pretzel” song Boom wrote and the start of his Tentacle Kitty collection. (I like to call them Tentakitties, so we’ve been affectionately saying it wrong for almost three years.) He had no idea the kitties were there and argued all the way to that last stop. —MV
