Poochy's Picks from Issue 226
Section	Writer	Comments
The ? Panel	winstein (talk)	A Mario Party AND a Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing reference in 2026? AMAZING.
Anton's Half-Baked Reviews	Hypnotoad (talk)	Hypnotoad's comments on scientific illiteracy in food culture and how it links to and supports other anti-science movements are thoughtful, and the way he points out the scumminess of Wonderful's marketing choices shows the care and research he puts into his reviews.
Fungal Forager's Field Guide	Shoey (talk) & Hooded Pitohui (talk)	Choosing a dream-based creature for this edition led to some really interesting and creative ideas, especially with tying in the Super Show design.
The Ghostly Dossier	GoldGal64 (talk)	Analyzing the Podoboo as a ghost was a fun, creative twist that let this section explore an unexpected species. I also like the detail about them jumping up to catch small bugs.
Story Without Text	Aomaf (talk)	The first story especially reads well and is very charming and whimsical.
The Sunshine Travel Guide	TheBlueCatMenace	Nice subtle Matrix reference, I like it.
