Little Toy Robot

The utterly selfless and unironic people behind 826 Valencia, a free writing lab in San Francisco linked to the McSweeney’s scene, have built 826 NYC in Brooklyn. 826 Valencia has a storefront billed as “San Francisco?s only independent pirate supply store,” and the new center has the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company:

As the name says, we will be a supply store for superheroes in need of capes, masks, utility belts, grappling hooks, and whatever else their crime fighting tasks call for. Visitors will also be able to read books, magazines, and student publications on display or explore the mysterious contents of the store, before passing through the secret passage to the more serious activities within the tutoring center.

“Too late, too late,” whimpers a grown up Dylan Ebdus.
