'Allo 'allo, Crayon readers! We're back again with new content -- and it hasn't even been a month since the last update. How awesome is that?!

First, a quickie -- Dusty Plastic HELLside #12, which features Adora from "She-Ra: Princess of Power" facing off against Chun-Li of the Street Fighter series. More on Adora in a bit.

The more substantial offering in today's update is a summary review of The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings -- a book I've despised as long as I can remember. Admittedly, I don't really remember it before high school (I rediscovered it when perusing the selections on the bookshelf in my room), but still. This is also a piece that is somewhat personal, as I not only describe an incident from my own life but even include a relevant photo of myself. I'm not doing any of this for sympathy, mind you -- so please try not to offer your condolences or pity, though I welcome other responses and insights regarding today's features -- but I did want to share my own similar yet decidedly less encouraging experience in order to better convey just how wrong the events of this story are. I think we can all agree that The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings has a terrible message and probably shouldn't be shared with impressionable young minds in any context.

And back to Adora! The comic here is an extra photo from the shoot I did for my review of the figure at Articulated Discussion, so please check that out and leave a comment over there if you like. The review's not going over so well with some AD readers, as it's quite negative and contains a good amount of cursing (there are only 15 swear words in the 2000-word article, but even so), but I think readers familiar with some of my work over here might find it to be entertaining. If nothing else, it's given me material for a running gag involving Hordak... and a cool idea for a custom if I ever end up with a bunch of fodder from female figures. Oh, I also did last week's Bootleg Tuesday entry, so go there to marvel at the horror of bootleg toys based on a great late-90s cartoon show.

That'll do it for this update, then! Until next time --
