Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 18:27, 9 July 2021 (UTC).

  • Article is very well-written, promoted to Good article July 9, 2021, long enough, Earwig says copyvio "unlikely", and no serious editorial or content issues. All alternative DYks arel short enough, well sourced and cited inline. My choice would be ALT3 for comic effect. QPQ needed, and picture needs an alt text useful to those with visual impairments per WP:ALTTEXT. Otherwise it's GTG.Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:47, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
