Twisted Symphony in the Daily LITG, 1st of April, 2023
An LITG runaround yesterday on Bleeding Cool, what you were reading and when, as well as the last four years. Also comic industry birthdays!
LITG: Bleeding Cool stopped doing April Fools a few years ago, though we have been known to collect and compile those from others. Just so you know, the only foolishness today from LITG on will be our usual tomfoolery. So anyway, welcome to the Daily LITG. The world can seem like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but at Bleeding Cool, you can still read all about comics, merch, TV shows, games, movies, and more. The Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here.
