Crushing to see how much football betting still has a hold on this podcast. Surely it can't be worth it...?
It's one of the most disgusting hypocrisies in our society, how this mephitis is mass-promoted.

The skunk villain looking back with a grin, the only visible vestige of the noble lion hero being the outline of his mane beneath his own tail and around his rump.
The mephitis looking forward with a grin, clenching his fists, and letting out a loud, brassy, odoriferous fart, obscuring the area.

Superskunker gassing out all of the villains, only to meet one one day wearing a gas mask and holding a ray gun. No problem, he'll just use his muscles to beat them.
The super mephitis lets out some of their gas anyway–for safe measure–, only to get zapped by the villain's ray.

Tzin is an adaptive shapeshifter who needs a DNA template to turn into a particular species…
Sometimes the source of that DNA might bring about some additional assets!
I’m not complaining. I feel bonita!!
