Three Capy Pics For You

'Nuff Said

Because of their serialized, ongoing nature, comic book plotlines are often forced into convoluted scenarios just to maintain the status quo.

A villain discovers Batman’s secret identity? He gets bonked on the head and conveniently develops amnesia by the end of the arc.

Likewise, when a recurring character “dies,” they tend to come back through increasingly absurd means: an identical twin, a multiverse counterpart, a one-for-one android duplicate. Sometimes they’re yanked through an interdimensional portal right after a massive explosion or a free fall into an active volcano, just in time to return in a later issue.

To highlight the silliness, Peter Parker’s Aunt May was once replaced by an android as part of an elaborate plot to deceive Spider-Man.

Why bring this up?

Because today’s photos feature the exact same Capybaras as yesterday’s email, sitting in the exact same place. However, these pictures were taken on a completely different day.

Is there some elaborate explanation for this?

Yes.

They’re Capybaras. They have a favorite spot in the park.

Did You Know…

Sometimes you have the right idea but the wrong platform for it.

That was certainly the case for Baroness Orczy, whose 1903 play The Scarlet Pimpernel flopped. She later reworked the story into a novel, which became a massive success and helped lay the groundwork for the entire superhero genre.

The story follows Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy playboy who adopts the alter ego of the Scarlet Pimpernel to rescue citizens during the French Revolution.

The character became a prototype for figures like Batman and Zorro, with Marvel co-creator Stan Lee once saying, “The Scarlet Pimpernel was the first superhero I had read about, the first character who could be called a superhero.”

Thank you for reading and have a fantastic day!
