Special thanks to Sammi Brie and Jeff Harris for research help. Thanks to Lexi for giving me a FANTASTIC vector of the 1987 Fox logo to use in the original thumbnail. And finally, very special thanks to Pop Arena (   / poparena  ) for providing the inspiration for this series. Please, check out his Nick Knacks series, it's fantastic!
