I’m a teacher and a fellow Wishbone-celebrator. When students come hang in my classroom during lunch, I put Wishbone up on the Smartboard. They DIE at the 90s everything, but then they get all caught up in the story and don’t want to leave. (These are 7th and 8th graders, by the way - so they’re too cool for…

Here’s hoping that they solve the problem of making it feature length by having Wishbone do Gravity’s Rainbow.

they have been promoting it all over Hulu (and maybe youtube) for the last several weeks

you get a star for invoking the great H:LOTS ..

I suppose the original poster’s use of the term “cultural appropriation” is technically correct (the best kind of correct).

“His response was that I was a very old 16 year old, that I’d lived through a lot of stuff that the vast majority of my classmates hadn’t had to go through at that point,”
