So they gave me G.I.

Joe and I was like.

Okay, and I I liked the comic and I had never seen the show and I never I was too old to have the toys but I was like, Okay, cool, this is like a big franchise, this is one of the Flecture Prior for IW and I was like, Great, so I'm I I'm doing the D GI Joe book and they're like, Great, yeah.
