I think still such a funny single comic panel of Spider-Man.

Peter Parker:

"... You know, I actually *did* read some Ayn Rand in college? I spent a week thinking I was, like, the new John Galt.

"Yelled at some protesters. Fun times.

Just got back from the Weird Al show in Edmonton and if I had a bucket list that would have been on it. I was joking with @iamatrex.com about whether or not I would cry at the show, not thinking I actually would. And then he & the band played this song, no bits, and I definitely had to wipe my eyes.

For seven seasons and 122 episodes, Canadian children were transported to the world of a department store where amazing things happened. The show remains a high-water mark of children's entertainment in Canada. This is the story of Today's Special! 📸TVOntario 🧵 1/9

A group photo featuring three individuals and two puppets in a colorful, whimsical setting. The person on the left is a woman with a large afro hairstyle, wearing a pink dress with red trim and a matching belt, smiling warmly. The person in the center is a man with curly hair, wearing a red and white checkered vest and cap, also smiling. The person on the right is a man dressed as a puppet character with a white beard, large nose, and a colorful polka-dot bow tie, holding a puppet with a dog-like face adorned with a pink flower and yellow feathers. In the background, there are green and purple structures with arched windows and a display of various stuffed animal toys hanging on the wall.
