I did consider using the holiday as an excuse...

Price hikes, no free trials, *and* a rightward shift on the journalism side? All for a service that I replaced two-thirds of its point by buying "Star Trek" and Nickelodeon DVDs?

The movies also point out some of the reasons why the DeLorean flopped---like the Cybertruck, it was a hard-to-maintain lemon?

Wikipedia says rabbits were considered rodents until 1912, when they (along with hares and pikas) got moved to their own taxonomy order, "lagomorpha" (or "lagomorphs"). Maybe something changed again between now and the 31st century? (Or Ultra Boy just isn't up on zoology... 😀).

Bugs is in his "Super-Rabbit" persona, from the 1943 cartoon of the same name. As an early Superman parody (Supes was only five years old then), but a sign how quickly a lot of Superman's elements/cliches became well-known by that point.

Not a Funko fan, I take?

I like them, but suspect along with Trump's idiotic tariffs and their own business decisions, they're also hurt by their popularity having peaked. The current hot thing are those Labubu dolls...

Jonny Quest and Space Ghost are treated as usual. Some of the other characters get modernized: the Impossibles gain a woman as a fourth member (and their boss is a person of color/woman); Buzz Conroy (Frankenstein Jr.'s kid pal) has a Mom instead of a Dad here; Mightor is a Black person.

Also a few characters are in the comic but not in the game: the Wicked Witch from "The Wizard of Oz" most prominently (the game didn't get around to using her). From the DCU side, Big Barda and Mister Miracle appear. Scooby's in this story, but he never made it to the game (just Shaggy and Velma).
