ANNUAL REPORT20221-800-GAIL-BEAR TO OUR AUDIENCE Strategic Highlights In the chaotic and turbulent environment that Twitter has become since being purchased by store-brand Tony Stark who seems to be doing his best to destroy the platform, Gail Simone has managed to thrive, as chaos is her natural habitat.

ANNUAL REPORT 20211-800-GAIL-BEAR TO OUR AUDIENCE Strategic Highlights The “What Did Gail Do Now?” (1-800-GAIL-BEAR) site was launched in Q3 of 2021 to hold Gail Simone – writer, trickster god, and bear pretending to be a redheaded human woman – accountable, to the extent that it is possible, for the humorous horrors she inflicts daily…
