KTIV News 4 was on the scene at ACME Comics & Collectibles on December 20th to cover The Siouxville Grinch's appearance as guest judge at the store's inaugural ugly sweater contest — and reporter Nathan Price brought the story to life beautifully.

The KTIV piece highlighted how The Siouxville Grinch's presence helped draw families into ACME Comics during the busy holiday shopping stretch — turning a fun in-store event into a full community moment that spilled out onto social media and local word-of-mouth.
Nathan Price captured the energy of the event perfectly — the contestants, the laughter, the Grinch's deeply critical judging process, and the genuine joy of a local small business celebrating the holidays with their community.
