99 years ago today, Mary Poppins made her first appearance in a newspaper short story.
I found it a few years back, after searching for more than a decade, and have presented it for comparison at MaryPoppinsAndTheMatchMan.com.

In our increasingly digital hellscape, these letterpress prints of Starcruiser fan-favorite phrases have warmed my jaded heart.
I'm fully ready for an age of analog fanart.

14 years later, that edit, based on my original comp, ends up in Tron Ares.
I hope the unknowing oracle CB2001 is thrilled to find that the picture did, in fact, make a great prop in the sequel.
End of line.

One user, CB2001, casually comments, "You know... This would be a great picture to use as a prop in the next film."
Then, DeviantArt user Pencilshade saw my edit and posted their own variation based on it:

The funniest possible punctuation mark after struggling with Tron Ares was learning that it would have been observably different if not for me.

Thrilled by the niche self-exploration of @hastin.net dropping facts at #RetroMagic about Earl Kaltenbach Jr. and Bradford Place, the California development he moved into entirely unaware of its place in the bygone legacy of Disneyland's Tomorrowland & Walt Disney World's Lake Buena Vista Townhomes.

My first assumption upon noticing the larger outlines in the leather behind Brody's Amity shield was that production had reused an old wallet, but now my group's headcanon is that those are wear from the character's previous mainland badges before he relocated to the island.

An inspired bit of Museum design, Ben Gardner's head is displayed in a room that has been dressed to look like the pool famously used to film the insert shot.

My favorite pieces at the Academy Museum Jaws exhibit were a slice of wood from the log cabin Steven Spielberg stayed in during production, the original screen that printed the crew shirts, an ad for a Jaws sandwich, and a photo of Elliot Gould looking lustfully at editor Verna Fields at the Oscars.

Picked up @dalicearrow.bsky.social's TRAMPS OF THE APOCALYPSE #3 yesterday — the circle is now complete!
Wild, hilarious, action-packed.
The trade paperback compilation will be released by @darkhorse.com in January, but I highly recommend seeking out the floppies now from your local comic shop.

The final Founder's Day each season of Ghost Town Alive at Knott's always has a delightfully chaotic energy.
Today, one actor's "last show" gag adapted Quint's introductory monologue from Jaws during a key story moment, with every shark mention skillfully swapped with gold mining lingo.
Sublime.
