I’m almost certain they’ve confused Joe Biden for Cobra Commander.
From the cartoon TV show “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero”: Cobra Commander is standing in a dramatic fashion. His hands are balled into fists and raised into the air. In his right hand is a yellow staff with the head of a cobra on the hilt. Cobra Commander is in his usual blue uniform complete with his helmet containing a metallic face shield that prevents anyone from seeing his face. He has on a black cloak with red interior lining.

To my surprise, a delegation from Moriyama, including the city’s mayor, came to our small town to celebrate the bicentennial with us.

They spoke about how we became sister cities and revealed a new structure to further strengthen our relationship:

I live in the small town of Adrian, MI. This is a small place; no buildings hire than 7 or 8 floors here.

But today the town is celebrating its bicentennial. As part of those festivities, they talked about our sister city:

Moriyama, Japan.

A highly detailed close up of the skeleton Papyrus’ face. His eyes almost look like they are about to bug out of his skull.

You see this? I got 11 of these guys!

ELEVEN!!!

Knucklehead kept pushing out all the other 3 Diamond cards I wanted! So I’m looking to trade! I want to fill in my missing 3 diamonds and have plenty of Machamp to go around!

A screenshot from the Pokémon TCG Pocket game. In the screenshot is a 3-Diamond rarity card for “Machamp”. It is from the “Shining Revelry” series of Pokémon cards. It has 150 HP, and knows “Power Press” which requires two fighting energy to do 70 damage. However, if two additional energy are added to this Machamp, this move then does 50 more damage for a total of 120. The screenshot also indicates that the person who took this photo has 11 of these cards.

“Post a random photo, otherwise everything goes wrong in June,” is pure superstition.

No matter what happens, you can make your June good for yourself and others.

But it is a good excuse to share a random picture for the lolz.

So, name the anime:

I still remember the greatest Altered Beast comic I ever saw.

Dear Lord,

If they’re going to make an Elden Ring movie, please make it based off the manga and as Monty Python-esque as possible. It would be so funny…
These are two pages from the manga adaptation of the hit video game, “Elden Ring”. I honestly have no idea what’s going on here. From the looks of it, the two protagonists don’t either. I think that’s the Tarnished and Melina looking at this argument and going, “What?” I think one of the people is Blair’s the Half-Wolf and they’re talking about what kind of outfit suits Ranni the Witch better? I have no idea.

Who on Earth would ever call it that!?!?
From the manga “One Piece”: The engineer for the Straw Hat Pirates, Franky, is disguised in his Wanp carpenter’s outfit. He is looking at the news that Luffy was captured and put in jail. His face is scrunched up immensely as he looks at the paper as he shouts, “HUH!?”

This is Shinpachi, from the anime TV series “Gintama”. This short, brown haired dweeb is looking behind him. Behind his round glasses, his eyes are squinting upwards. He has a toothy smile on his face. Altogether, he is giving the viewer an expression that can only be described as a “Shit-Eating Grin”.

The onlookers:
Tony Tony Chopper, Usopp, and Monkey D. Luffy have all witnessed something so awesome, their mouths are agape in smiles and they have stars in their eyes.

Oh hey @4brandonjs4.bsky.social , you see the promo images for Mario Kart World featuring Sarasaland and what appears to be Daisy’s Castle? Looks like Shy Guy Bazaar has her castle in the background.

Y’know, speaking of the Target Dog, I ran into this after stopping by to pick up an order of Easter Candy. (Also, this was the first time I walked into a Target in months)
Found in a Target store: A photo of a Transformers toy still in its original package. It says “Target Optimus Prime & Autobot Bullseye” on the box. Optimus is pulling back his arm to throw a large red ball for his robotic canine companion to fetch for him. The ball looks like the red spheres found in front of any Target store.

I know you’re being facetious and everything, but the thought alone just makes me go
From the video game “Pizza Tower”: Protagonist Peppino Spaghetti, the anxiety ridden and now thoroughly pissed off owner of a pizza restaurant, has absolutely had it. He clenches his teeth, smashes his fists together in front of him, before raising his hands up and yelling out a battle cry. His cartoonish mouth stretches to be even larger than his torso. He is mad. He is angry. He has had it! He is ready to throw down with his bare hands on those who have gone out of their way to torment him and his restaurant. It’s Pizza Time!

From the anime series “Naruto”: Ninja Instructor Kakashi Hatake is giving you a massive thumbs up. Like seriously massive, from this perspective, it looks like his hand is about two thirds the size of his body. That’s how massive his thumbs up is!
