The True History of April Fools Day (Really)

All this has happened before...

Here at The Mary Sue we will continue our April Fools Day tradition of only posting things that are true, no matter how devilishly hard it is to actually find those things in the news on April Fool’s Day. As a consequence, some of the things we post might be exceedingly silly.

You’re welcome.

Susana Polo - Editor at Large

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
