Mack's Poseidon Adventure

Mack, for some reason, was depicted as the Roman god Neptune (or the Greek god Poseidon) on one of the alter egos from Daria. As it so happens, today was the beginning of the Roman festival called Neptunalia, which celebrated the god of the sea. (More on Neptunalia here.)

In keeping with our oceanic theme, this date appeared in a Daria serial called "A Cruise Gone Wrong." Unfortunately, we have only the first part of the tale to go by. Where's the rest? Darn authors.

PPMB moderator Quiverwing, in her blog Quiverwing's Corner, has posted an interesting observation about our fandom. The observation has been made before, but not with evidence such as she provides. What do you think of it? Post your responses in her blog (or this one, as you wish).

Two nice new fan artworks are up: Concept Jane, by ioxmo, and Jen of 6teen as Daria, by Doggieboy's son.
