These guys are beastly fellows, and if you ever encounter one, chances are you won't live to tell anyone about it.  Keep your eyes peeled.

Dr. Herbert DeWinters

pages 92-93
The many inventions of Dr. Herbert DeWinters have saved countless lives throughout the years, and for that we should all be grateful.  Where would we be without the laser-powered drill, or the goblin shield, or the quantum detangler?  Dead, that's where.

Lady Gaga's next outfit

pages 90-91
I'm kind of bummed that Lady Gaga's whole "Queen Amidala on mescaline" aesthetic didn't catch on in the wider pop music community.  I get that it's an integral part of her uniqueness as an artist, but I'd love to see more mainstream teenybopper acts dressed head-to-toe in freshly-slaughtered goat entrails and bubble wrap as they perform at the VMAs.  Maybe then, I'd tune in.

Dong Keykong Mauer

page 85
I can't wait for the trend of naming you child after whichever pop culture icon you like the most to really pick up steam as more Millennials have babies.  The reason why I'm excited is the prospect of having a president named "Harry Potter" or "Sonic the Hedgehog" in 50-60 years.
