"Over the Top" is free on youtube, btw:
In comments someone said E-Tru had old-fashioned clothing, and the people he outburst against usually had newfangled (for that time) clothing.
Unironically I would like to be buried unembalmed in a forest. Or maybe at the bottom of a lake. Hey, I bet if I insulted some old-school gangsters, they could make it happen.

DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED
One side of my family was all farmers. I don't know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.
Unfortunately the other kids will call her a "door-k" for the rest of the school year.
their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.
Good lord... imagine getting a little cut on your finger, and you look at the cut, and you see a face staring out from inside saying "HI THERE I SECRETLY HATE YOUUUUU" while a set of toes and genitals try to seep out of the cut before you bandage it up forever. That's some cthulhu-level stuff, man.
Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind.
So... when you analyze language, you can think of an utterance's semantics (what it means "at the dictionary level") and pragmatics (what it means in context.) For example, if you're having dinner, and someone asks "can you pass the salt?" in terms of semantics it's a question, but in terms of pragmatics it's generally a command or request for an action.
Similarly, I'd say Batman's first utterance in terms of pragmatics is a request for permission, which is granted by Catwoman's first utterance.
I was going to agree, but I haven't had Brach's candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it's hard to be sure.

btw this is an edit of a cartoon that came out in October 1913, e.g. see this example in The Day Book of Chicago. I love the fact that he's saying "Punk!" in the original. See !truecomics@midwest.social for more about this character.
Several of E.T.'s comics are about the importance of voting. Early voting wasn't a thing back then, but it is now, and it has started in most states. See here: https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/

The League of Nations (LN or LoN; French: Société des Nations [sɔsjete de nɑsjɔ̃], SdN) was the first worldwide intergovernmental organisation whose principal mission was to maintain world peace.[1] It was founded on 10 January 1920 by the Paris Peace Conference that ended the First World War. The main organisation ceased operations on 18 April 1946 when many of its components were relocated into the new United Nations. As the template for modern global governance, the League profoundly shaped the modern world.

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.
