Hey, that's as good a reason as any and better than some.

In 2018 I got METAL WORLD— my tabletop RPG— into a state ready for playtesting, which I'm going to do more of next month. In fact, its Kickstarter is pretty much only waiting on me being able to afford even a meager supply of promotional art, which may happen next month depending on bills. My daughter's decided to get on the Student Council at her middle school. Things are fairly good for me, even if money is tight. However, I'm a hobbit in the Shire. That is to say, I'm a straight, cisgendered white guy. The monstrosities outside my relatively peaceful bubble aren't hitting me like they are so many others.

The Kavanaugh confirmation made me realize something needs to be done with our Senate representation in that Mike Rounds is a spineless worm who serves only as a mouthpiece for the RNC. I've decided that come 2020 I'll present myself as a candidate for Rounds's Senate seat so he doesn't go unchallenged like John Thune did when he last ran for reelection. We need people who will stand up to what's going on. I can't just stay in the Shire. Someone needs to go to Mordor and if I have to be the one to attempt the journey to protect the vulnerable, I will.

I'll vote for you fellow South Dakota goon.

Gabby is the cloned "little sister" of Laura Kinney (X-23), invented in Tom Taylor's all new wolverine, and the best character created in the last few years by marvel other than Gwenpool

Squirrel Girl giving her an actual, grumpy wolverine because she thought Gabby could talk to her animal namesake is the best. Because why would you be named after an animal if you can’t talk to them?

The third Arc of All New Wolverine. They went to space due to a virus targeting them showing up in New York. In the process Gabby gets infected by a brood queen. It does not go well for the brood queen.

Basically in All New Wolverine Laura (X-23) learns that an evil company was creating clones of her who don't feel pain but don't have any of her powers. Gabby was the youngest and also it turns out that she did get the powers. She moves in with Laura and goes on adventures with her.

Also Daken gives her the superhero name Honey Badger.

Yeah, but the last run's end really did go too far with it. Duggan had a good mix of happy and sad stuff happening to Deadpool, but once Secret Empire kicked in, it was just a year of Deadpool being poo poo on over and over with no catharsis. Just bleakness laced with comedy that ends with "okay, time to set things back to default for the next writer."

The long, drawn-out clean-up of Duggan is a funny contrast to how abrupt the ending of Daniel Way's run was. Just 1-2 pages of Evil Deadpool (ugh) showing up to say he's alive and Deadpool's healing factor is back.

I'm not sure there's a story behind it, a quick look shows it in the background of issue 8, it doesn't seem to be in any of the apartment shots in issue 7 (a very valuable collector's edition because it features the origin of Jonathan the actual wolverine). The previous six issues are the initial arc with her clones and the introduction of Gabby, I haven't reread those in awhile because it's a depressing story but I don't remember them spending much time in Laura's apartment during it.

Oh, so it was probably Logan's then. I don't see Laura spending much time decorating, and I really don't see her picking that up at a second hand store or whatever.

I don't really see Logan spending much time decorating, either, so it was probably a gift from an acquaintance that he just never bothered to throw out.

It was probably a gag gift from Nightcrawler or something

Alternatively, it is an actual stuffed pelican that he bagged while hunting with Ernest Hemingway

(Wolverine hung out with Ernest Hemingway, look it up)

It's not a stuffed pelican.
