Seriously my kid might be dead without it.
You know whatβs definitely worse than taking Tylenol during pregnancy? Untreated fevers.
This is not going to end well.
i know we have to "push back" or whatever but this administration has us saying the goofiest, most obvious shit. late night hosts are allowed to make jokes. actually, WE pay tariffs. no, that's not how tylenol works. could be solving climate change but instead we're debunking middle school rumors

Fevers esp. in children are so dangerous, and we've gotten several generations removed so apparently have forgotten that fear. (Not if you've ever lain awake with a feverish infant)
Much -- not all, but much -- of the trouble with modern newspapers is actually the deep, suppurating rot in the ranks of politcal reporters: the belief that they're largely theater critics

Note the detailed cityscape background, down to the kitty cats in the lower left window sand even the window blinds, just love it! She-Hulk's 'Holy Moebius' reaction is a nod to the two-issue Silver Surfer mini-series the master French artist "MOEBIUS" illustrated working with Stan Lee as writer. Interestingly enough, the two-issue Silver Surfer mini-series came out just a couple months earlier, cover date #1 12/88 and #2 1/89, while the Byrne She-Hulk story issue hit newsstands the last week of 1988 for Christmas. Byrne presumably drew this story 1-2 months earlier, while the Moebius series was first getting released and receiving artistic praise. One can only think the newly launched miniseries by the French legend was immediately well received in the US with Byrne acknowledging the legend in his work at the same time. Little did Byrne know at that time, both artists work on their respective series, most notably Moebius Silver Surfer mini-series would go down in history as one of the greatest artistic comic achievements of that era.
