Luke. Librarian. Nerd. Good at words. Terrible at Bluesky. He/him. Bi/pan/whatever.
Counterargument: He's not hearing the difference, as he doesn't know the word "zoo"*. He's repeating the word he just heard, and thus it appears the same as it was told to him.

*Based on these panels alone, so I'm probably wrong.

I love indulging my kid. But I can't imagine buying a wardrobe and convertible for a toy that comes out for a month each year that my kid just stares at while I covertly play with it. Either a lot of kids are playing with these or a lot of my fellow parents have a seasonal toy collection.

When we got our Elf my daughter immediately picked it up and hugged it and started introducing it to her other toys and so on. Then we read the book that's all DO NOT TOUCH OR CHRISTMAS WILL DIE AND IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT SPECIFICALLY and had to make up a rule that it's okay as long as she's gentle.

Just your usual 4 bedroom, 3.5.5.5.5.5.5.5.5 bathroom house.

New from Hasbro: it's H.P. Lovecraft's Clue!

No one gets murdered, everyone just goes insane until they die from it.

Fun for the whole family! Get your copy at the compelling of the Old Ones!

He's in good company. That red leg is Fire Chief from the Tobots line. 🤣

Yeah no, she should be embarrassed. She almost literally started the essay with "The Bible defines 'man' and 'woman' as..."

Did he just say something uncomfortable that made you want to leave? 😄

The word "blood" was in the theme song, they knew it, obviously Fox didn't have an issue with it... but nope, we got endless gibberish about plasma.

The way I've heard it, the Spider-Man cartoon is a weird case because the production team did a lot of self-censoring and then created stories that ran right into their own rules. IIRC it was their choice to only have laser guns (but also Punisher) and not say "blood" (but also have vampires).

I've seen Paul Dini make some charitable comments about how BS&P made the show better in many ways because they would often come up with something less direct and more "artistic" in the edit.

He also admits to purposely putting terrible things in scripts just to horrify them. 🤣

Leo has no relation to the gentlecat behind @nonnef.com but he can think that if he wants to. 😄

Okay, but that might distract from making horror movies about Winnie the Pooh and Betty Boop.

There's a reason that so much of it is still boxed... 😅

Turbo got mangled by cast changes, soft reboots, and general filler. Not really a wonder it nearly killed the franchise. The sentai it's based on is essentially comedy-drama about teens who shouldn't have driver's licenses, and I wish they'd leaned into it because it could have been magical. 😄

Very possible. I know some of the READ posters started with a celebrity being asked what their favorite book was and a bit of brainstorming over the answer. A lot of them trade on a specific role or reputation of the celebrity. Sometimes it's tough to say which. 🤷‍♂️

Original. All the loose ones on top of the boxes are originals that I picked up yesterday. Traded in a bunch of stuff for credit and immediately uh, "reinvested" it. 😅

The through-line of that season is Cassie getting horny for literally every unavailable guy (her dog, Phantom Ranger, etc). I strongly suspect it was someone's idea of a joke.

TJ was too busy killing God to have time for dating. 😆

I maintain Divatox is one of the best villains in the franchise because she's that perfect mix of humorous and sinister. We'd remember her more fondly if she wasn't saddled with the season where Cassie dates her dog.

I still think it's obscene that one of the best cinematic understandings of Superman comes from this movie and... you know, not more of the Superman movies. 😞
