Don't know why, but I feel compelled to defend Alley Oop, it was a super fun comic strip about a time traveling caveman that feels like a 30/40s version of Hellboy. As a fan of classic adventure strips, its on of the best. Pretty shocked to hear it's still going.

Young adults recording (and now streaming) their crimes has been a fun (terrible) development of the past 15 years. It is very very common, Facebook seems to be the platform of choice.

Yeah, those fake predictions come up like every month in my research and are so clearly BS I never bother. - Henry

To answer your question about what Japan was doing with Covid Stimulus, last year they gave everyone 100,000 yen, and if you are a freelancer and earned less than half during a month of last year compared to the average month from 2019, you were entitled to one million yen. Otherwise it’s business as usual hear, as the recent state of emergency only had some businesses shut at earlier hours. Fortunately most game and animation studios are working from home, but many businesses are operating as usual.

I'm glad you didn't mention it because it was so dumb it doesn't deserve anyone's time
Bob Mackey
It was so fake and bad I honestly didn't think it was worth mentioning

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention that God-awful Simpsons image of Groundskeeper Willie dressed like the "shaman" who stormed the Capitol. I saw a tweet with this image attached saying the Simpsons had predicted the future again. It's obviously photoshopped, the hat and tattoos look completely different. You can also see part of Lisa in the pic and she's obviously cropped from another scene. Here it is: https://imgur.com/a/JHCAwWQ

Also, having slogged through Medieval Futurama "part" 3, I still don't know why anyone would give a fuck about any of these characters at all.

Surprised no mention of Tom Sawyer being on Amazon Prime. My girlfriend's cousin started watching it before coming to stay with us for Thanksgiving 2019. Watched all of it in a few days, and decided to take a trip to Hannibal since it is about 2 hours from where we live. Was a pretty interesting trip being in an interracial relationship in a small Missouri town... but the caverns were pretty cool and we had a cromulent hometown diner meal on our way out. Would recommend the Tom Sawyer anime for anyone familiar with Mark Twain or wanting an older SoL anime.

Still iffy on disenchantment....I denno...saw all parts, and I appreciate what they're building, the different worlds are awesome, my personal favorite being a world bean visits i think in ep 5 of part 3. And I appreciate the narrative...but beyond that, it feels a little hollow...

You guys also forgot Kevin Curran as another Simpsons writer who passed away.

Oh, the shit about 12 Forever is totally legit. Creator is a serial sexual harasser of both sexes, and her producer was an enabler who tried starting shit with me when I called them out for some of their hypocrisy when they virtue signaled re: how "exclusionary" Ren &; Stimpy was. It didn't last long, and they deleted all their R&S related tweets.
