Kray Z Comics and Stories 99: Waxy Yellow Buildup

As we keep up the build to episode 100, Cory tells a Hangin’ at the Home story. Somehow, and I couldn’t quite figure out how, this leads to a discussion of profanity on college radio, waffle houses, old candy, and road trips. What does this have to do with comics? NOTHING!! So, Joe tells the story of trying to find a comic shop where he’s stationed, and the bookstores he has found.

Along the way we finish the first installment of Joe’s great comic re-sort of 2013, we get into Freaking and Geeking, Cory goes off on comics sales numbers and there is the proverbial much much more. Also: The usual shenanigans!
