Hey Duggee Series Three Episode #1 will not be posted soon...

 It looks like my source only went up to six episodes for Series Three. I'll see if I can do some of the Squirrel Club episodes, but I'm done for this month. No, I'm still not ending my suspension of Peppa Pig Tales.

* The cover of Dynamite Comics TaleSpin #3 shows Kit Cloudkicker wearing the bomber jacket, so you know he's turning into DT 2017 Kit Cloudkicker. Also, Skye Ryder will make a second appearance in the comics.

A reminder: Dynamite Comics TaleSpin #1 has a release date of August 19th, 2026.

Might as well update the blog further...

 - I have completed four of the eight episodes for the next Hey Duggee rant for Series 3. Ceebies does not region block episodes in Canada, so I plan to resume Hey Duggee Series 3 every two episodes a week starting next week. The first rant does contain the famous opening of the milk delivery horse that I was howling with laughter over.

- No updates on the Peppa Pig side, so my decision to not rant on Peppa Pig Tales continues. I don't need to tell you why.

- Dynamite Comics confirms that TaleSpin will be at San Diego Comic Con 2025 next week. Also, TaleSpin Dynamite Comics Issue #3 has been announced for October 2026. No plot has been revealed yet, nor any pictures of the cover.

* Dynamite Comics has interviewed Amanda Deibert and we got the first reveal of Skye Ryder:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXj5IS4KVns

I was expecting the passenger to be Kit's age, but she clearly looks like an adult here.

- I finally got a work assignment for my job for the first time in months. How very nice, how very evil.

- James Gilstrap, the one who sang the "Spin It!" theme song for TaleSpin has passed away on July 18, 2026:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Gilstrap

Some updates and the Nintendo Switch Aligned Year Nine report is updated....

 Yeah, I think we are done here until March of 2027.

I am planning to return for Series 3 of Hey Duggee because that show was already better than Peppa Pig and that was before the AI mess I mentioned in the previous post. I was waiting for CBC Kids to post videos and they have finally gotten to them. I'll do prep work during the week and start this weekend with two to three episodes. Anyhow, Series 3, Episode 10 contains an opening that has to be seen to be believed if you have watched Roly since the Scarecrow Badge. It's both the funniest and most disturbing moment in the series. I won't spoil it until then, though; although you probably can guess what it is if you read the rants for this series.

I'll soon be 49 years old on July 19th. How very nice, how very evil.
