I really need to meet some people around Chicago and make some IRL friends.

I've felt really isolated and alone since I moved here, and that's probably partially just the weather, but I also just don't know.. how to get out there and meet people.

I'd really love to find a community or some friends here.

This is not a thing I could have predicted but I am pleasantly surprised. Congratulations to Ty Olsson and DJ Qualls. 💍💒🤵🤵

This post is part of Debutniverse, a series where I watch just the first episode of various cartoons.

First episode title: Punky to the Rescue / The Quartersize Quarterback
How familiar with the show am I?: I hadn't heard of it before, nor the show it's based on.

It seems that in the 80s there was a popular live-action American sitcom called Punky Brewster. Don't ask me, I'm not American and I wasn't alive in the 80s. Anyway, it was about a girl called Punky (cool name!) who had lost her parents and was taken in by a man named Henry.

This cartoon is the same thing, except Punky has an adorable furry creature called Glomer with magical powers, whose existence she has to hide from Henry. Well, I suppose it would be redundant to have both the live-action show and the cartoon if you didn't make use of the medium!
