Alyas Batman en Robin

Several villains are also featured such as the Joker and the Penguin (here Chu-p-a-enguin, literally "Blowjob-guin" in Spanglish, as well as a pun on "Tiyo Paeng"), portrayed respectively by the late comedians Rene Requiestas and Panchito Alba; this would be the former's final movie before his death on July 24 of the same year.

Anthropological science fiction

This focus, in turn, places Le Guin's novel within a body of later works - such as Mary Gentle's Golden Witchbreed novels (1984-87) and C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner series (1994-96) - that deal with an outside observer's arrival on an alien planet, all of which indicate the difficulty of translating the life-style of an alien species into a language and cultural experience that is comprehensible.

Stankervision

One regular such cartoon is about the adventures of "Inebriated The Koala", which was created by Waco O'Guin in 1993 and is introduced as "everyone's favorite eucalyptus eating marsupial", to which the koala replies, "Eucalyptus? You can lick THIS!" as he points to his crotch.

The Dispossessed

Le Guin's foreword to the novel notes that her anarchism is closely akin to that of Peter Kropotkin's, whose Mutual Aid closely assessed the influence of the natural world on competition and cooperation.
