Hi-Yo, Mack Daddy!

On this day in 1933, the Lone Ranger made his first appearance on a radio show. He would later get a television series, as well. The character didn't exactly look like Mack there, but I could definitely see him taking down bad guys. Or just Kevin whenever he pisses him off.

Today was also the day of the school review meeting in the episode "Fizz Ed," but shhh--don't tell anyone!

I should also mention that one year ago today, Daria made a cameo appearance on the TV show Robot Chicken. I think the less said about that one, though, the better.

Fanfic Update!

• Imaginary, by ThanatosRW (COMPLETE!): "I freeze for a moment as I see her on the edge of the crowd. I see her cold eyes staring at me, judging me, criticizing me, before she stomps off.

Daria noticed it.'You had something to do with it, didn't you?' 'Some things are meant to be mysterious, Daria,' Quinn said."


• Quinn Spirit Detective, by Reven384 (parts 6 and 7): "'But if she’s a demon doesn’t that make her dangerous for Daria?' Quinn asked.

• Unnamed story (Scenes no Daria fanfic should have: Last Friday Night!), by JPAGC (COMPLETE!): "'I accept your challenge, old man,' said a dark-haired young man, stepping forth from the crowd and strutting to the small fence.
