Dear Baby Yoda: A Love Song
The adorable Baby Yoda has taken over the internet, and his/her fandom is not limited to Disney+ subscribers. I haven't seen The Mandolorian, and I feel like I know Baby Yoda as well as anyone. Ice2Ice adapted the Lin-Manuel Miranda song "Dear Theodosia" from Hamilton and made it a lullaby/love song about Baby Yoda. It's clever and they perform it well, but best of all, we get clips of the baby in the video. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
Hurry
One of the things that's necessary to become proficient in living both on the net and in the real world is the ability to distinguish who would be an appropriate person to share things with. Yes, you can experiment to see who would like it, but meanwhile, don't interrupt while they are washing the dishes you should have been helping with. This is the latest comic from Chris Hallbeck at Maximumble.

An Honest Trailer for It Chapter Two
Since the sequel to It, It Chapter Two, is coming to home video next week, it's time for an Honest Trailer. The movie was profitable, but suffered from high expectations. It turns out that a scary clown menacing adults is not as terrifying as a scary clown menacing children. And since that was exactly the problem with the 1990 TV miniseries, you'd have thought that someone might have suggested a change.
The Trick That Made Animation Realistic
Animation pioneer Max Fleischer brought many innovations to his craft. The technique that enabled artists to translate Cab Calloway's unique dance style to cartoon characters was only one of them. Vox explains the weird beginnings of the Rotoscope and how it changed the art of animation.
Closure
She should hit him in the head with a frying pan. Maybe he'll get the message. It isn't always about what YOU need. This comic is from Zack Weinersmith at Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
