Today's news and jokes

good: richmond's public school superintendent promised to dye his hair blue if a hs achieved 100% graduation, which they did! bad: a brawl broke out at the ceremony that required police intervention to break up. good: nobody was killed or seriously injured, and it yielded a ~truly absurd~ photo.

In 1984, Jim Shooter decided to do away with vampires in the Marvel Universe, and had Roger Stern bring it about in the pages of Doctor Strange. Did Shooter ever go on record to explain what he had against vampires? So far, I've been unable to find anything online. 🤔
