I can honestly say that I have never felt more like a piece of fried chicken in my life, with the way this pollen has been raining down and the expected temperatures for this upcoming summer season, I feel like we’re all about to be fried lightly on both sides at 350 degrees.

I hope you enjoy this issue featuring some fun hospitality pieces such as the return of the first of 2024s Fayetteville Comic Cons! I’ve never been able to attend but this year I am making it a goal!

I wish you all nothing but the best spring season and I hope you keep your tissues and Claritin pills close!
Happy reading!
