When I saw that today is International Panic Day, these were my first thoughts:

I think I’ll go back to my analog comic book days and say the under appreciated The Hawk from D.C.’s Justice League was my favorite mythological character in my wonder bread years at least, Ann.

Happy Father’s Day, Mark!
I’m just having a relaxed day, walk downtown, a movie, reading, no panic, no worries

Some very cool pictures there. You would never know the photographer was prone to panic at all.
Wow, this is a great thought-provoking post! It’s definitely helpful to remind ourselves not to panic despite all the craziness that’s going on. It’s also interesting to see how the concept of International Panic Day has evolved. Thanks for sharing your insights, author!
Thank you.
