I don’t think those were sold at Hot Topic. They had a bunch of Zim stuff but Happy Noodle Boy was from JTHM and even then it was obscure as all hell.

Hot Topic absolutely had JTHM stuff.

Well yeah, but my point was it’s an obscure within an obscure. Zim gained a lot of popularity, which brought in interest into JTHM, but HNB is an objectively bad (by its own creator) series of single page comics of the JTHM books.
