Was that the sequel to "Don't summon the Dark Gods, Charlie Brown"?

Yes, which came right after "Snoopy's a Were-Dog, Charlie Brown!"

Well, if Snoopy was a man who periodically turns into a dog, it would explain a lot of Snoopy's more improbable abilities.

Okay, but you're going to have to explain Super-Horse to me again...

The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Among the African countries, Angola is interesting in that it's quite large yet still has no UNESCO World Heritage site.
Somalia is in a similar boat, but it's understandable as the country has not had a functioning central government in years.
Chad, another large and war-torn country, just got its first site in 2012.

Post-Crisis Comet, for sure. Even I, a major Peter David fan, have yet to manage to wrap my head around it.

At least he was never Super-Unicorn.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I think they should work the Unicorn into a future Iron Man movie. I consider him an underrated villain, and besides, he can't possibly look any sillier than Mickey Rourke as Whiplash.

I would rather drink tea than coffee, but it's hard to get decent hot tea in a restaurant in Texas unless it's an Asian or British-themed establishment.

I drank tea instead of coffee for quite a while, but I eventually found the tea wasn't giving me the jolt I needed, so I went back to coffee.
I still have tea at least once a week, usually on a weekend morning.

I'll take coffee when I'm out, as the tea can be hit or miss sometimes. At home, I'll switch between the two.
Tea with weekend breakfast is a must though.
The Lion & the Unicorn are big heraldic symbols in the United Kingdom. They also appear in through the looking glass.
They have also appeared in comics. A later version of them appeared, as did versions of nearly all UK characters, in Zenith. They incinerated heroes from a safe distance before making a tactical withdrawal.

The Lion & the Unicorn are big heraldic symbols in the United Kingdom. I knew about the Lion, but not the Unicorn. I learned something new today. Thanks, Thoth.

It's a fair* cultural exchange** as you gave us Olga***.
*31st century LW descendants would question thothkins concept of fairness, as they sat in medical waiting rooms to check their bleeding ears.
**31sr century cross referencers would cite thothkins happy attempt to exchange the occupied houses of parliament for a bean, claiming they had similar value.
*** The late 1980s house track "Jack Your Beanstalk" referenced the events of **. It was banned by the BBC as being offensive****.
**** It is rumoured that this example of suppression is being covered in a forthcoming album by well known social activist Olga.

Post-Crisis Comet, for sure. Even I, a major Peter David fan, have yet to manage to wrap my head around it. What if Comet had been a tikbalang? "Tikbalang (also written as Tigbalang, Tigbalan, or Tikbalan) is a creature of Philippine folklore said to lurk in the mountains and forests of the Philippines. It is generally described as a tall, bony humanoid creature with disproportionately long limbs, to the point that its knees reach above its head when it squats down.[1] It has the head and feet of an animal, most commonly a horse. It is sometimes believed to be a transformation of an aborted fetus which has been sent to earth from limbo."

Pumpkin is quite expensive here. I have tried a handful of recipes using pumpkin, but have used squash as a substitute.

I heard "Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton on three different stations today. What does it mean?
