The actual episodes are deeply cheesy in a way that's hard to appreciate without a genuine nostalgic connection, but this video for the theme song covers most of what you need: youtu.be/Ybk0SkpRjH4?...

I've met many non-Canadians whose existence is sadly bereft of the most delightful dog in the history of television, The Littlest Hobo. Here's a quick thread to get you started on a new & better life, one enriched by knowing that somewhere out there is a wandering crime-solving German Shepherd.

Canadian History Ehx @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · 1d

On Oct. 11, 1979, the first episode of the revival of The Littlest Hobo debuted on CTV. Based off a 1958 movie and 1960s TV show, it aired for six seasons and 114 episodes.
With its famous theme song, it is beloved by generations of Canadians.
This is the story.

I am spending so much time at my dentist's office that I may need to list it as a secondary residence on my taxes this year.

I generally enjoy horror films but avoid most Blumhouse stuff tbh. With a few exceptions, their stuff feels very uninventive and cash-grabby to me (so I guess this fits with their ethos in that way, lol).

Stabby Stacy King @stacyking.bsky.social · 3d

That meat looks properly snickt'ed, is all I'm going to say.

Stabby Stacy King @stacyking.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah, horror fans have so much respect & fascination for the filming process, and practical effects are especially cherished. It reflects poorly on their understanding of & respect for their fans imo!

I adore both this colour and the lore behind it.🧵

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · 3d

it’s creepy season, did you know about haint blue? I grew up in Charleston which has a lot of practices that came from the enslaved African population. A lot of people just accept these things and don’t know where it comes from. The blue porch ceiling is to fool ghosts to think it’s sky and move on.

I love both this colour and the lore behind it!

Why are vampire movies always so bloody? What a waste of scarce nutrition. I want to see a Nosferatu with some table manners!

True, but also: I landed my Manga Classics gig precisely because I have an English Literature degree, so it is possible (rare and unlikely, yes, but also incredibly satisfying).

Stabby Stacy King @stacyking.bsky.social · 4d

Ditto. I am trying to tell myself it's for the best that I cut back on chips but my heart knows that I'm lying to myself.

Stabby Stacy King @stacyking.bsky.social · 4d

Oh yay!! So nice to see your awesome work be given its due ❤️

I was hitting four until the local FarmBoy shut down for repairs (or something, not totally clear but they always had one fresh ingredient on sale that was worth making the trek).

I'm lucky to live in an area with three cheap-tier grocery stores plus a few mid-tier and indie shops all within walking distance.

The biggest hit for me has been chocolate. I knew it was coming, but those $7+ Lindt bars are breaking my heart.

Yep. The cost of restaurant dinners is almost double what it was in 2020. I've reverted to my broke student habit of checking grocery flyers and hitting up three different local stores to buy only sale-items when possible - and those sale prices are higher than regular prices were a few years ago!

Kameron Hurley @kameronhurley.com · 4d

I feel like no one realizes how much even normal things cost now. The prices have gone up so drastically the last 5 years that it's easy to shoot off an assumption about money using old programming from a different economic reality.

You know me too well, bro. 🥵

Karen is right. I require a translator for Jeffery's quote, however.

Stabby Stacy King @stacyking.bsky.social · 5d

It turns out that Edinburgh, normally an expensive hotel town, becomes a mega-expensive hotel town when things like "Halloween on a Friday" come up.

As a consequence, I will be celebrating this Halloween in Newcastle Upon Tyne instead.
