There's a whole book, called "How to Read Donald Duck," about how fucked these comics were. Like honestly. If it sounds like I'm joking, it's only because of how blatantly obvious the message is for the ~exotic~ adventures of a character named Uncle Scrooge.

We shit on Batman a lot for being a rich guy beating up the mentally ill and the poor, but you know who gets way too slack? Uncle Scrooge. I know we all love his little pogo cane, but c'mon.

@melissasage I remove the tea bag and suck on it really hard

Missed the opportunity to legally rename myself Video James

@Nine It really, really is though. I never liked my GBA as much as my Game Boy Color, but that one really stood out.

@Nine I remember that game.

I got it on release from Game Stop, and the employee was looking at me, like wtf, why are you so excited about a GBA game?

It was definitely disappointing, though Astro Boy by Treasure that same year(?) was a treat.

Though "Maggie May" has pretty dreary lyrics. And is about a real thing that happened to a 16 year old Rod Stewart

It's the more depressing cousin of "Maggie May"

I've been listening to Cayetana's version of "Age of Consent" a lot. I think it's about a younger person coming of age and standing up to someone who has been sexually abusing them since before they could legally say no. Which has been helpful in working through some trauma. I like their version better than New Order's because they put some actual emotion in it.
