Curt Franklin and Chris Haley of Let’s Be Friends Againput together a very special series of Thanksgiving comics featuring several superheroes. Characters like Aquaman, Harley Quinn, Wolverine and Beast Boy tell us what they’re thankful for this year. Some of them may shock you but mostly they’ll just make you chuckle.

  • Your Inspirational Motivational of the Day from the Daily What features Monique van der Vorst. She lost the use of her legs after a botched surgery to correct an ankle problem when she was 13. However, she kept her passion for sports through handcycling and became a world champion and silver medalist in the 2008 Paralympic Games. A tragedy from another cyclist crashing into her later on actually turned into a miracle. “During her stint in rehab, van der Vorst suddenly started regained feeling in her legs. It wasn’t long before she was back on her feet for the first time in 13 years.”
