If only 2012 writers weren't cowards and made her actually badass 😔

Anyway, based on that one episode in s2 where Karai tried to capture April for Shredder, and the turtles had to save her (also thats how they made up after the whole batdad situation). Obviously, she couldn't defeat them on her own, but I wish we could see April putting up a bit more of a fight.

Sharing here, in case you would like to know which businesses to support if you’re ever in Portland, ME.

(This is where 🧊 agents are currently believed to be staying and so many community members are afraid to go outside. Business owners came together to commit to not serving these agents while they are in town.)

I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

Watterson considers comics to be as true an art form as painting and films and literature, capable of reaching just as high as any other medium. Calvin and Hobbes isn't accidentally high art. Watterson made it what it is on purpose. And when he was done, he stopped. No movie, no spinoff, no reboot. He considers the comic to be its completed form, in exactly the medium it is supposed to be. He believed in comics in a way few others ever have, and he fought tooth and nail for the right to take his own work, jokes and all, seriously.

I read Calvin & Hobbes every Sunday as a kid. While I rarely saw eye-to-eye with Calvin, Watterson’s writing deeply influenced my sense of humor and irony. I’m likely not the only millennial who feels this way.

As an adult with children, I can still get something out of C&H. I understand Calvin a little better now, watching my kids grow up with far more than I ever had. I can finally see how such a chaotic, unfocused, and occasionally downright self-centered little dude is also capable of true empathy, profound insight, curiosity, artistry, and love.

If you have never read Calvin & Hobbes, I hope that you do. If you have, I invite you to revisit it often.

Need help creating Speed Dating Bingo for my friend! She’s going with her roomie to a speed dating event and she’s a bit shy and nervous about how it will go.

I’m creating a Bingo card for her with any number of (funny) “red flags” or stereotypical “first date facepalm” things that she could encounter when meeting dates. The idea is that it’s there for a laugh IF the night is becoming a dumpster fire- I’ll be so happy for her if she does happen to meet someone interesting but this seems like a great way to save the evening if she feels she’s not enjoying herself.

I asked her if it was okay and she thought it was hilarious, so now her roommate wants to play too!

I’m looking for some additional suggestions for squares on the card. Nothing heavy or cruel, please! Goofy things like: “wearing a fedora,” “mansplains your profession to you,” “checks his phone more than once,” etc.

The Nightmare N*zi Squad has arrived in my state and it’s as f*cking horrific as promised.

Cockroach again ?

No one can tell me that Donnie, even if it was deep in his subconscious, didn’t know and take full advantage of the fact that Ralph was petrified of bugs when he chose his pet.

10+ years later and I’m just now seeing that autocorrect turned “Raph” into “Ralph.” Ouch.
