A Perfect Canadian Pair

Today we will look at someone more known for their voice then their face.

Tara Strong is the subject today.

You may not recognize her name (or face for that matter) unless you're into nerdy things like I am.  So let me introduce you to who this beautiful actress is.

Tara is a Canadian actress born in 1973.

She appeared in the 1995 teen comedy National Lampoon's Senior Trip

She has always been a bit of a tease for nerds everywhere whether it is her acting

Or getting into arguments about superheroes

Or playing the role of one as her day job

Yes, Tara Strong is a voice actor and has voiced heroic roles like Raven (Teen Titans), Batgirl (Batman: Killing Joke), Harley Quinn (numerous video games and tv series), Bubbles (Powerpuff Girls), Ben 10 (numerous Ben 10 series) among many others

She also voice acts many characters in a show, Rick and Morty, I just started watching.  

She has on card autographs in the Rick & Morty trading card set and they can be had fairly cheap too (under $20).

Stop me if you've heard this one before.
Deathstroke and Harley Quinn walk into a Comic Con together...
(Oh wait. No that's not how it went)

Sabretooth walks into a con with Harley...
(Oh never mind)

How about the story of how Spongebob Squarepants teamed up with Timmy Turner?

Two years ago during my Save Second Base Event I showed a manufactured bat relic and showed some Harley Quinn inspiration.  I failed to mention Tara in that post which you can revisit here.  My goal was to one day find a way to make a post focusing on just her.

Tara is Harley Quinn.  She has lent her voice talents to Harley's character more than any other voice actress.

She even cosplayed as Harley Quinn at Comic Con....and it was awesome!

Last year I highlighted a magenta printing plate of a former Canadian born teammate (Justin Morneau) of Cutch.  I tied that printing plate to a certain Gotham actress here.  The same week I created that post I won a pair of printing plates that popped up for sale and I was very interested in one of them.  The other one was a magenta printing plate of a former Blue Jays prospect (also born in Canada) that I had zero interest in.

With the purchase of this black printing plate featuring Josh Harrison, Justin Morneau, and Andrew McCutchen I have now completed my SECOND group of all 4 printing plates. 

 I discussed needing this plate back in June 2019 which you can revisit here.

The "bonus" plate for me was this plate is pictured as a Toronto Blue Jay, but was also born in Canada, much like Tara Strong.

I have no interest in this plate so if you want it just leave a comment below who your favorite Canadian born celebrity is.  I will random it off after 4 clicks and the person on top wins.  Entries close Sunday October 18th 1am EST.  Anyone leaving a comment below will automatically be entered unless you put "DO NOT WANT PLATE"

It's Not Real

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Visit the official site here.

Breast Cancer will be detected in one of eight women in the US each year.

It is the second leading cause of cancer death among women each year.

On average every 2 minutes a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes one person will die from breast cancer.
There are currently 33 million breast cancer survivors in the USA.

It's important to support the research for cancer.  Breast Cancer is often associated with the color pink so I will be showing off some pink Cutch cards.

In addition, you can expect to see some boobs with each post.  Who doesn't love boobs?

So let's start with what we're hoping to save!

This post may seem a bit strange as it will feature a few diffenent ladies who all have one thing in common.

They have all voiced or played the fictional character Harley Quinn.

Margot Robbie brought the character to life on the big screen with her depiction of the zany Arkham Asylum inmate.

Margot stole the show in the film Suicide Squad. 

Her version was spot on for how Harley would interact with other super villains and her absolute love for Mr. J aka The Joker.

The roller derby design is my favorite of Harley Quinn, especially when cosplayed by Angie Griffin (she was spotlighted yesterday).

When the character was first introduced by creator Bruce Timm on The Batman Animated Series she carried a massive wooden hammer and was voiced by Arleen Sorkin.

Sorkin was the inspiration for the character's personality and the main reason why so many fans fell in love with the character.  Fun Fact:Sorkin is married to on screen nutcase Christopher Lloyd.  Great Scott!!!!!

The character has been voiced by many more voice actresses including Hynden Walch who actually has a bit of physical similarity to the former psychiatrist turned psycho.

Quinn will be voiced in a brand new solo animated series by everyone's favorite waitress neighbor of the geekiest nerds on TV.  

Yup, Kaley Cuoco who plays the,character Penny on The Big Bang Theory will be voicing Harley Quinn this year.

While the character's appearance has slightly changed over the years, the personality certainly remains. 

Recently Quinn has carried a standard baseball bat often dressed with graffiti.

Harley Quinn may not be real and sadly neither is this Pink Bat Knob numbered to 25 copies produced by Topps.

Topps made 3 different parallels of these manufactured relics in 2015. They included standard wood (not numbered), black (/99), and pink (/25).  I have all three different parallels.

Who are some of your favorite fictional female characters?
