My last 100 or so comics were stolen while I was moving to a bigger apartment back in 2000. Niggas strolled up in my shit and swiped all of 'em some kinda way. Took nothing else either... just the comics.

I wanted a pair of them joints so bad for junior high basketball, but my pops felt that spending $70 on a pair of shoes for a kid was absolutely ridiculous. I still want a pair!

Someone please tell me they re-releasing them joints soon!
