Wow. These things *are* a waste of money.

 
$2.99 US == $3.31 Canadian*

One $2.99 US comic book? $4.00 Canadian.

That is 20% more. *eyes industry* Don't think we're not noticing. Both prices are right there on the cover -- not very sneaky at all.

*As of right now, using the Yahoo.com currency converter. (The figure sanity checked via www.xe.com and www.x-rates.com, which match to the second digit.)

 
In less complainy news, I've *finally* found a story fandom wrote before the canon did. (Well, that I've seen, at least. It is a hard statement to make unequivocally.)

In this month's Teen Titan's Go, Nightwing goes back in time and has gratuitous crotch shots, because some things are constant meets himself as Robin! It says nowhere that this is inspired by petronelle's brain-breaking Shortpants (not worksafe, that story), but it says nowhere that it *isn't*, either.

As a bonus, here's the cover for the July issue of Teen Titans Go. Baseball, Vic, Gar's ass, and *little floaty hearts*.

 

Totally without context politics!

 
Asked about his time with [The Prime Minister] at the National Citizens Coalition, Nicholls said: "I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he in that time eat a baby."

 
Oh, fine. Context.

I'm just trying to figure out the continuing fascination with politicians' dietary habits, myself. Although "Vote Conservative - We Don't Eat Babies!" would at least promise a more entertaining spate of ads next time around.
