    Good Bye Peanut Butter Jones

    We said goodbye to our favorite show dog (as in this show, not a dog show) Peanutbutter Jones, the biggest, slobbiest, three-leggedliest, dog in the world. He went to dog glory at home surrounded by a cat who tolerated him, a dog who barely tolerated him, and Jen who legit loved his big dumbness very much. We dedicate Because Black this week to Peanutbutter Jones, the big white dog who always had something to say in the background. Links Where’s the Brief? Unilever story on “fair & lovey” NBA ad (Jen +, Jordan not so much) Popeye’s Ads (Jordan +, Jen = angry) Allstate Ads (Jordan +, Jen = imma try) Moments of Joy! Shoutout to the 6 supreme court justices. YES, JUST THE SIX Yess to the yessss! Know your data! Black Lives Matter font.
