Join Non-Euclidian Kris, Cyclopean Kris, Cthonian Finn, and Darksome Marcus and as they read and talk about what’s changed in 100 years, what has aged well and what has absolutely NOT, and read hilarious classified ads for things like telekinesis training, pimple cream, over-the-counter abortifacients and mail-order .32 automatics.
