This week- a pair of features occupying areas adjacent to classic cartoons.
When his applejack distillery is destroyed in an accident, Jean Kayak has to find a new trade to survive the harsh winter. Taking up fur trading, something he doesn't exactly excel at, he soon finds love and danger in the forms of The Furrier and Hundreds of Beavers. Super powered mutants are being born all around the world, these evolutionary leaps are treated with fear and bigotry. Now the United States government is trying to pass an act that would require mutants to reveal their identities and powers. When Marie's powers manifest during her first kiss, landing her liplocker in a coma, she runs away. Soon she finds herself in Canada, meeting a gruff drifter named Logan. When their paths are forced into a collision course between the opposing ideologies of Magneto and Professor Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men.
All that and Dave is somewhere else, Tyler gets all lovey on a sharp thing, and Kevin joins him with a whole gaggle of others. Join us, won't you?
