A New York “superhero” is memorialized and now tradable

by , at 12:09 pm

Two local humorists, a New Yorker cartoonist and a Saturday Night Live writer, have created a deck of New York “superhero” cards, I recently discovered. The superheroes range from Summer Intern to Paul Giamatti to Unemployed Banker.

This hero seemed worth sharing with our readers:

    These local humorists should be setting our national education policy — they know much more than Arne Duncan!

  • Ms. Miller

    They sold me a poster version of Miss TFA when I ordered a deck last summer

  • Miss Opportunity

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

    Additional Powers:

    1. Overly inflated sense of self-worth, “Yeah, but he attended CUNY and I graduated from Harvard”.

    2. Belief that she is inherently better than others who have been doing the job years longer, “I bring a much needed renewed energy to this school”. 3. Susceptibility to being a bankrolled pawn, “The tenure rules need to change, I’m going to start a group called Educators 4 Excellence.”

    Interesting how humor sets the moral tone … SNL has always been way ahead of the curve …

    And don’t forget the classic YouTube video, “Nice White Lady,” which should be viewed from time to time
