On Prime Video: another tourism ad to "Experience Abu Dhabi." Said experiences shown include a trip to an aquarium, outdoor activities, fine dining, cars, etc. Again, no mention of this guy. 😀

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Given the short-tempered Donald regularly tussles with people twice his size, the kidnappers won't know what hit them?

Home from the store, which is busier than I figured for Monday in the daytime before Thanksgiving.

Also, apparently this is for sale:

More comic reading: the "Future Quest" miniseries, a storyline from the mid-2010s about a crossover between the action/adventure/superhero Hanna-Barbera characters. I thought it was enjoyable, though not sure what Jonny Quest/Space Ghost fans made (since those are the two biggest HB action shows).

Comic reading lately: the "MultiVersus" tie-in comic.

Like the game, the comic's a weird mix of kid-friendly stuff (Bugs Bunny, Steven Universe) and the teen/adult audience DC normally caters to: the story's set exclusively in the DCU, Joker's his usual "self" (as Shaggy finds out), etc.
