Gobble Gobble! We are celebrating Thanksgiving, the multiverse and Harley Quinn with this week's STUFFED episode that's certainly no turkey. We start with a history of Harley Quinn in comics, tv and film before discussing her first official appearance in the DC Comics Universe in 1999 from co-creator Paul Dini and Yvel Guichet. We then jump to 2020 to see Harley traveling the multiverse to destroy all DC comic book events while also trying to save her family Thanksgiving after the death of her mother in an issue from Sam Humphries that balances the tragic and the comic. All this plus our thoughts on holidays in comics!

We celebrate Thanksgiving with a trip to Gotham City in this Harley Quinn themed episode. We start by talking about Harley's appearances in TV and film from Batman the Animated Series to Margot Robbie plus her first appearances in comic books. We then talk Batman: Harley Quinn #1 from 1999 that sees Harley partner with Poison Ivy, double cross Batman and take revenge on the Joker. Then we head to the dinner table with a Thanksgiving themed issue that sees Harley and Booster Gold traveling the multiverse as Harley attempts to stop all DC comic book events as a revenge for the death of her month while back in the "real" world, she is desperately trying to bring together her family for a Thanksgiving meal. All this plus Days of Our Lives, Lady Gaga, Deadpool, comic books in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and much more.
