Straczynski was responsible for so many things I've enjoyed, from episodes of Ghostbusters and He-Man to Amazing Spider-man comics to frigging Murder, She Wrote. That man was BUSY.

The capybara is very cute, but the monkey reminds me of my very first stuffed animal, whose name was "Monkey" (I was a very creative child) and I think I may need to go to Build-A-Bear to get one.

Sometimes I kid with my friends and I say that when I die I want my ashes to be put in mini urns and one given to each of them so they can put it on a high shelf. This way I can always look down and judge them. Maybe I've been thinking too small.
