Jodie Foster Inspires Young LGBT Fans to Kinda-Sorta Come Out But Not Really

Cosmic Catnip Bubble Shooter

But lately the duo’s greatest deception is…

I finally got around to writing up several reviews for Yelp.com and while I was on the site I noticed my favorite comic shop, 1up collectibles, had a Yelp “deal”. $75 for $50 (I knew my next comic pick up would be more than that so I bought it thinking I would be saving myself…
