South Park: Not just a cartoon anymore!
Over the weekend, there was an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle, profiling the South Park neighborhood and the businesses surrounding it. Mule Design was one of the companies mentioned by writer Dan Fost:
There is a look to the South Park crowd: rectangular glasses, ironic T-shirts and hipster shoes that almost look like bowling shoes but are more likely Skechers for men or, for women, Campers or Fluevogs. The most popular shirt is from Mule Design, which discovered that the squid biomass on Earth is greater than the human biomass. The shirt declares simply, "Welcome Squid Overlords."
While we appreciate the mention, we didn't actually discover the large squid biomass. Scientists did. We just capitalized on it. Thank you, South Park, for letting us dress you!

Mule is a t-shirt shop. We know nothing about shoes. Just t-shirts. That is all.
