I built SO many models of these with different configurations for the pod. I looked and looked for one of the Hawk models, but never found one.

This is one very good looking kitten.

If I weren’t already so tired, 😴I’d be tempted to slap that statement right out of your mouth. 👋👄. Don’t jinx it already, OK? 🤐😉

Don’t worry if you went to bed early on New Year’s Eve. You haven’t missed anything. Judging by this first few days, the United States is going to drop the ball pretty frequently in 2026.

This is not a favorable growing season for spines in the US, it appears. Perhaps England, Canada, Ukraine, Denmark — or some other country that has NOT yet given up on us could still spare us a few seeds this new year. They seem to have a good crop, and there is a real backbone famine here.

On behalf of my country, I apologize profusely. We should have kicked Orange Pennywise to the curb long ago. It is a national shame & tragedy that we have failed to step up and do so. I still have some hope that my fellow US citizens will grow a spine soon, but Jan 2026 is not showing promise.

Ah, yes! The REAL Green New Deal!

What an unAmerican idea! How dare you suggest such a thing?
<rueful smirk>

I will keep my fingers crossed. I’ve loved the whole idea of iHunt from day one, and I’d be thrilled for you if this were to go all the way.

There is no Gail but Gail.

Is the Batman Deadpool book not going to be available digitally? I’d like to read it, too…

This has gotten in my head and won’t let go. I am so bored here in the recovery facility that I have written a detailed “bible” for this story setup with names changed and serial numbers filed off. (Just how protected are pastiches and parodies these days?) Pity I’m not a comic artist…

Oh, yes! I can see that!

Dot & Lotta secretly direct a cadre of supernatural avengers, including the ghost of a dead child, a sarcastic demon, and a young, out of control witch. All of these have a grudge against the Rich family empire. This just begs for the Gail Simone touch, doesn’t it?

There we go. Bring Dot, Lotta, etc back as gritty superheroes! (Or maybe antiheroes.) Dot is a sexy hardcore graffiti artist sticking it to the Man, and Lotta is a foul-mouthed chef and Food Network star. Together, they fight the corruption of the Richard Rich corporate empire.

Whatever happened to those old Harvey characters? Little Dot, Little Lotta, Hot Stuff the devil? Only Richie Rich and Casper are still familiar names to kids. Yeah, they were often one-joke characters, but as a kid I used to read them alongside my Superman and Batman comics and enjoyed them.

You have any problems with the word “dumbass”?

I imagine after you’ve been there a bit, your brain filters it out for the most part. Pity…
