Checking in at Comic-Con, San Diego, 1980.

SDCC began the 1980s with appearances by creators who would help reshape comic books for a new generation.

Among them were John Byrne, who would reinvent Superman with Man of Steel in 1986, and Chris Claremont, then deep into his celebrated run on Marvel’s Uncanny X-Men and soon to write the landmark Days of Future Past storyline in 1981.

The chasm between competence and incompetence could not be wider.

When images of Japanese fans meticulously cleaning stadium stands after World Cup matches went viral, the world took notice.

This act of respect was not merely performative, it reflects a deeply rooted cultural value of collective responsibility that extends even to the national team, who famously left their dressing room impeccably clean, complete with a multilingual “thank you” note for the hosts.

This mindset is cultivated from a young age. In Japanese schools, students regularly participate in soji, a daily cleaning routine where they tidy their classrooms, hallways, and bathrooms. Far from being seen as a chore, this practice teaches children the importance of shared spaces and personal accountability to the community.

This emphasis on collective stewardship stands in contrast to more individualistic societies, where public areas are often left littered and maintenance is viewed as someone else’s responsibility. The Japanese approach offers a powerful example of how ingrained habits of respect and mindfulness can transform the way people interact with shared environments.

Ultimately, the Japanese team’s and fans’ behavior serves as more than just a feel-good story, it invites reflection on how a stronger sense of collective responsibility could benefit communities worldwide.

@Kinza1278 This is murder. There are no winners. And if the riddle answer is “her life,” well, that’s subjective isn’t it? Because we don’t know the order in which the suspect committed the crimes. Maybe they loaded the piano to a truck, got caught by the girl and … there it is.

@beyoncegarden It keeps them up at night. Wondering by about the things they can’t see. And wishing they could see them.

@WorkElizab Kung Fu Panda is a “classic”? Or was that put on the list as the engagement gaslighter?

Were any mushrooms or short Italian plumbers seen nearby?

@AndrewHeaters @2Goalies1Mic I don’t think so. Eichel hated being in Buffalo almost since day one. He was always at the wrong party wearing someone else’s clothes that didn’t fit.
