   He’s had them since December 19 last year.

   “Party time! Party time! Everybody’s feeling fine, ‘cause it’s party time!” (And if you don’t know what animated movie this is from, count yourself lucky.)

   Remember when we still called that button “Return” and not “Enter”?

   What’s sad about it?

   Atlas didn’t really care for that job, though. He tried to get out of it once.

   Gotta say, in retrospect, the diorama arc was poorly written. The writing was too strawman-y and exaggerated. It’s one thing to say that just this once, Colin should be forgiven not having the exact right size of shoebox. It’s another to claim that forgetting to use the right size somehow makes Colin a Very Creative Child.

   Then there’s Abby saying, basically, “If you don’t give Colin the grade I’ve decided you’ll give him, it means you hate creativity and independent thinking.”

   And having the teacher actually say that yes, she does indeed want to stop children from thinking for themselves… Come on. Strawman much?

   In short, that arc really came off as the cartoonists satirizing something that happened to them for real. It was like one of those political cartoons where some candidate you dislike says “I hate freedom.”

   I liked that ending of the movie. It explained why the Cowardly Lion didn’t quite look like a real lion. Naturally a dream, and the creatures in one, will be different from the real world.

    Good catch. I missed that.
