🔖 Reagan Ray has collected a bunch of hand-lettered logos from Marvel comics pre-2000. My favorite series from this era is the 6 issue miniseries Kitty Pryde & Wolverine. Ray doesn’t have that logo, but I did grab a Kitty Pryde logo and a Wolverine logo to stick here.
🔖Also, the Sesame Street Tiny Desk Concert made me tear up. 📺🎵
🔖 I highly recommend this video of the Yip Yip Invasion at Phoenix Comicon 2017, in which a group of cosplayers dress as The Martians from Sesame Street and hilarity ensues. 📺
Don’t mind me, I’m just over here flailing in response to the Picard Season 2 Teaser Trailer. 🖖🏻📺🔖

I’ve always been resentful of the trope where girls have to pretend to be boys to get stuff done, but Natalie Zutter’s piece about Leia disguising herself as Boushh especially the part about Padme subverting it, is a welcome fresh perspective. 🍿🔖
Improv as community/business/cult has a lot of problems that would require a radical new model to fix but improv as playful art form taught me a lot about the openness to unexpected conversation & skill for listening that Austin Kleon writes about here. 🔖

🔖 I love this take. I’d love to see it even more fleshed out: WandaVision Is Basically a Retelling of the Scarlet Letter (LitHub) 📺
🔖 This piece about WandaVision & fan theories has me musing on the difference between trying to figure out who will make a cameo and, say, analyzing the cinematography in Veronica Mars to see how it draws on the visual language of noir. via Elizabeth Minkel. 📺
🔖 This piece about WandaVision and fan theories has me thinking about fannish meta and where it lives now, if anywhere.
🔖 These images of comic book heroes redrawn to have average body types are fascinating from a cosplayer’s perspective. The “real” bodies look every bit as heroic to me & I wonder if it’s bc I’m used to seeing real bodies in these costumes. via @ohBananaJoe on micro.blog.
🔖 Check out Riana Mckeith’s period-appropriate cartoon homages to WandaVision. So great! It will surprise no one that the 80s one is my fave. (via kottke.org) 📺
