Weekly Anime Comics: Cardcaptor Sakura - page 28 (Patreon)

This message about supporting the official release brought to you by Miffy: The Merchandising Mascot (I really should have added that into the actual comic)

But yeah, I'd actually forgotten about the whole "Evil Stick" thing.  I was just going to make this a generic joke about anime bootlegs in general, and Googled "Cardcaptor bootlegs" for inspiration, and then suddenly remembered every clickbait article about cursed toys I'd ever seen.

On a less Cracked article-related note, does the show ever explain why these obvious non-magical charm cards just HAPPEN to look almost identical to actual real Clow Cards?  I can't remember for sure, but I feel like that just gets totally forgotten about, even though it seems like it should be a pretty big deal.
