That last point would be reasonable if it was said by a seven-year-old.

Unfortunately, all you get is a parting on the other side.

No, *do* let the heavy swing door hit him.

Could be an issue for WILTY as well, considering how the questioning section is basically “Either I am poking holes in your lies or insisting that you are a ridiculous person.”

I’m starting to see a theme here.

I don’t think there’s much that anchors it to the 70s (just that it was the present when the book was written), so I’d agree an update seems likely.

Something I noticed when I had a go at watching the WB cartoons in order — it’s the early Pepe Le Pew cartoons where he’s most likely to get a comeuppance at the end, and that trails off as the series goes on.

It means that awards will be given to Michael Bay.

There used to be subdivisions of the yen, the sen (100 to the yen) and rin (1000), but those got lost in inflation over time.

“....wait, what can we tempt him with that he might not actually do?”

Two-parter with “The Calculator’s Plan.”

Can be a bit too easy to cast a rosy glow over something that can’t actually hurt you in the present day.

There are signs of reduced though not zero effectiveness of the vaccines against some of the variants -- the South African and Brazilian ones in particular, while the Kent variant is more infectious but no more resistant.

Not a time loop story, but otherwise that’s the plot of Blackadder’s Christmas Carol.

The consistent through-line in his work might well be an animus against US establishment politics, which used to get joined to some reasonable criticisms, but in the Trump-vs-the-establishment era, not so much.

The really early version of Tweety was fun, being a mean trickster character. Went from faux-cute to actually cute soon after, though.

Byrne often seemed to think he was putting characters back to the way they ought to be, while having a much more idiosyncratic notion of what that was than he realised. And then there’s the skeevy stuff you note on top of that.

Kind of like the use of “Come Together” on the original release’s end credits — okay, the line itself suits a team-up film, but the rest has nothing to do with it.

“I hated it! It was worse than Cats! I’m going to see it again and again!”

But that way you’ll never buy any car racing games.
