Lt. Susan Ahn Cuddy, Navy Trailblazer; He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
By the power of Grayskull! We've returned to our usual two story episode!
To celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th, Laurel kicks it off with a story about Lieutenant Susan Ahn Cuddy, who was a woman of a lot of firsts in the United States Navy and Armed Forces! KT then follows it up with the origin story of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! From his beginnings as a hyper-muscled action figure playing the catch-up game in the action figure toy market to his meteoric rise to the top, including the spin-offs and reboots that have happened since!
**Correction: Laurel later talks about her View-Master she had as a kid that was her intro to He-Man...but she's a stoned goober and kept calling it a View Finder...Just so you know, she knows what it really is called...**
