I shake my fist at Hollywood!! But if you watch the animated HBO version from the 80s, M-shaped hat is retained in all its pointy glory.

Underneath hat is one single, large capital M (refrigeration required)

I’m a neglectful Bluesky poster! But check out Season 3 of Beyond the Bookcase wherever you listen to podcasts. Here’s a fun standalone episode we’ve been working on forever - love how it came out! pjlibrary.org/podcasts

It’s my first post here! Hello out there! I’m a writer in search of the kidlit and screenwriting communities! Here’s a photo of my dog Taco doing most of the work because the key to creativity is delegation.
