This is another nod to the “Books Never Written” section in the Boy’s Life magazines I used to read as a kid. They always made me laugh…

Archives Day

I’ll keep the superhero theme going with this cartoon from last year. By the way, this news anchor seems entirely too calm. You’d think he’d revel in the exposure this story could bring…
