Step aside, Hamilton...

...here is George Washington punching a tiger. It's an unrolled set of tweets on Threadreader featuring an illustrated 19th century Japanese children's book of stories about America, originally created from two secondhand sources with a lot of artistic liberty, which probably explains a lot. If only my American history classes focused more on John Adams fighting a snake by summoning a giant eagle and less on tariffs. I'd have paid a lot closer attention.

In other news, on day 2 of a headache that kept me home from work yesterday. At work today, but may go home around lunch if it doesn't get any better.

Oh man, hope your headache abates soon.

...poor tiger?!

It's better at the moment. WE'll see if it gets worse--it spent yesterday fading in and out. :/

Thanks!

:DDDDDDDDD at George Washington. Because he could've done WWF if he'd really wanted to.

And hope you're feeling better soon.

XD Yup!

And thank you--I'm definitely feeling better today.

That is awesome! I loved the commentary. I did not know Benjamin Franklin was so jacked. Nor that John Adams had a grudge match with that snake.

American history was way more exciting than I was led to believe!
