Umm...Lawsuit?

Daria has just surprised Jane with a sudden observance of National Hug Day. That's today, so I'd recommend everyone keep their distance from Mr. O'Neill. Of course, that's good advice for every other day, too.

Today is also Squirrel Appreciation Day, so if you see Jake wearing a squirrel skin cap on his head and doing a victory jig...then you know that he missed the point. Oh, well.

Last but not least, it was on this day in 2002 that Is It College Yet? aired on MTV. It was the very last canon view we got to see of Daria and all the others, but the characters still live on in fanfic.

The written and visual nominations for the Daria Fanworks Awards are now up. Get out there and vote!
