Finding geeky goods at Comic-Con
From ray-gun pillows to Tribbles to stuffed testicles, it’s a retail wonderland
“Ever wondered what your kidney looks like, and whether the little guy’s happy? You can ask your doctor. Or you can pick up some adorable plush body parts from I Heart Guts. You can tell they’re happy because they have a big smile on their, um, faces? Among the silly body parts available are an ovary, appendix, mammary gland, brain and a testicle that looks kind of like Elvis. These would make cute, educational toys for kids or maybe a fun gift for a doctor friend. Find I Heart Guts at Booth 932 or online at iheartguts.com.” {by Kelly Davis and Alex Zaragoza}
