You would almost think that them getting ahold of that paper was an accident. Looks like Lana is using the alphabet agencies to do the dirty work again. Oh well, if it makes her job easier then she deserves it.
Not to my surprise, the spider Sparklemuffin (Maratus jactatus) is Australian, jumpy, and does flamboyant mating displays.
I don’t know whether this applies to Lana’s sparklemuffin (… the criminal she hunting, I mean. Not the other thing.)
Well, that explains a lot about why I thought they sounded like they’d fit right in with us here in the Land Downunder! (Where everything is either trying to kill you or sounds like it should be!)
Look at it this way, J & G: you did your job right (as far as your boss knows), so when Lana’s plan takes the Sparklemuffin down, while simultaneously landing the local authorities in a clusterpuck, you’re in the clear!
(Disclaimer: Commentary Wild-Assed Guesses based on Lana’s prior history; in no way should this WAG be taken as an attempt to predict the actual results of Lana’s mission.)
They’re notoriously tight with money for paying staff.
Not the top level executives, they recently got all their pay and bonuses in the millions but they also laid off tens of thousands of lower level employees.
I know there’s a pandemic on but would it have killed them to take a bit less at least during a time of such crisis?
… Mulan is from Chinese folklore, so the Sparklemuffin could use the name Mulan and Disney could do nothing about it (public domain or something like that). It’d be specific design aspects of the Disney version that would be issue.
For another example that is more recent, if we took the TV show Archer now for example …
In the same way the Joker paid all his taxes because wouldn’t dare cross the IRS, I can see how even the mysterious villain of this piece wouldn’t dare cross Disney/Marvel either!
Also, Sparklemuffins are actually a thing. A cross between I would never have guessed and I should have known Sean does his research!

Yeah, she’ll take her help where she can get it!

Flamboyant mating displays are not uncommon in Spying with Lana, so it’s possible! π

I’m so glad we finally found out what a sparklemuffin is! Now we only need to find out how many of these people Lana is planning to screw!
Uh, that came out wrong. I meant “to screw over”!
Really!
I did!
Uh, I’ll just let myself out.
I believe you. π
They HAVE been promoted. Right off the case.
They’re lucky – if they can keep outta the way…
Right! Considering how it’s gone so far, they should look at the bright side!
The Commissioner seem to understand the concept of qualified personnel even if he has very little of it. π
Right! And knowing is half the battle, at least according to G. I. Joe.

I suspect Gualter and Joana may never completely figure out what’s going on. π
I always thought “sparklemuffin” was when the strippers put on way too much glitter in the wrong places…
Gotta be carefully not to stand too close to the fan when you take the lid off the body glitter.
Well shit that ended quickly I hope Lana gets the weekend off now.
I suspect Lana’s work is not quite done yet.
Oh does she actually work for disney and they sent her to make sure sparkle muffin was made an example of?
If she worked for Disney these missions would probably have a bigger budget. π
Not necessarily. They’re notoriously tight with money.
I am not sure Mulan flopped hard
True, but if the Sparklemuffin tried calling himself Mulan, he’s still be in trouble! π

They pay their lawyers though, hence Sparklemuffin. π
Actually …

Is Lana’s work ever done? Even on vacation, she’s still working.
“I suspect Lanaβs work is not quite done yet.”
For some strange reason, some guy pushing a boulder up a hill comes to mind …
Maybe Sisyphus worked for the Agency, too.
Wouldn’t that be “is still working for”?
His current mission is wheeling Perry up and down the back stairs repeatedly.
… and here I am thinking Zeus’s punishments were monstrous enough!
I’m betting Lana’s not done with them yet.
I’m betting you’re right!
*Sean Harrington busted for insider trading.*

Yes, even a master crimelord knows better than to mess with a squad of Disney lawyers! π
Yes, I don’t think anyone has seen Thanos lately.
First, you two should be grateful to get out of this with your lives.
Second, Sparkle….muffin….
Yes, and if their superiors had seen how the mission had actually gone for them, they’d probably get fired! π
I wouldn’t be surprised if you could say that about most of us most of the time to be honest!
Well, what they don’t know won’t hurt ’em! π
Just as well your boss hasn’t cottoned on to what you get up to, I hear he’s pretty tough!
