Konnichiwa WcDonald's

by Bruce Guthrie

Not being an anime aficionado, I was surprised to find that my McDonald's cup had a "W" instead of an "M" on it this week. And there were Japanese characters next to it which the Google Translate software on my smartphone translated as "Wak Donald". Was this a yakuza signal to take out the Republican front runner?

Apparently not. Little known to me, a fictional WcDonald's franchise was introduced to manga back in 1981 when they wanted to refer to a food franchise like McDonald's but didn't want to run into trademark issues. ( https://fictionalcompanies.fandom.com/wiki/WcDonald%27s ) This month, McDonald's announced a tie-in to the fictional franchise starting on February 26.

Their regular website describes this as:

What Is the WcDonald’s Isekai?

Isekai is a popular anime genre that explores a story’s main character who suddenly finds themselves transported to a parallel “otherworld.” A fixture across various anime and manga titles and genres, WcDonald’s has been an indelible part of anime culture for decades. From it comes the new Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce! Dip into another universe and immerse yourself in WcDonald’s, artistically realized to serve as homage to fans of anime and the Golden Arches alike.

There are lots of in-store promotions for this campaign including bags (possibly only the medium and small sized ones), the cups, the backs of receipts, and videos on the order kiosks and behind the counter. There's also a new promotional website ( https://www.wcdonalds.com ). All of this is to promote a new McNuggets sauce. (Which is really spicy!)

The website offers a free miniseries of four video shorts and four manga chapters. Currently, only the first set is up -- the first comic is a 24-page PDF -- but presumably the other sets will be added each week as the campaign continues. The story appears to start on the medium-size bag and can be read below.

As far as I can tell, the WcDonald's website only serves up the episodes if you use the QR scan code to access it. If you access the www.wcdonalds.com site directly, you're told that you have to unlock each episode. If you don't have a device with a QR-reading built-in camera (like a desktop PC), you're SOL. Once you use the QR code, there's a cookie that's saved on your smartphone/laptop/PC which tells the system you're kosher and lets you see the episode. Maybe that will change as complaints mount.

Having said that, if you type in the short URL from your desktop browser -- 3wqv.short.gy/aZ1 -- things should work fine. I have to presume that McD's isn't issuing multiple bags with different QR codes each week so the new episodes should magically show up each week along with the old ones.

(You can access the first issue of the comic directly via: https://www.wcdonalds.com/pdf/2rg5pBDamf.pdf . The first video is https://www.wcdonalds.com/episode?id=1 I suspect id=2, id=3, and id=4 will be activated later. )

Officially, the campaign ends on March 24.

Nerdist has a great article about the campaign on https://nerdist.com/article/mcdonalds-serves-up-an-anime-and-manga-experience-with-special-wcdonalds-celebration/

Some images (and, yes, I felt like an idiot photographing the screens above the counter...)

Swann Fellow Lecture, Tuesday, March 12 in Library of Congress

Were They so Torturous? Reevaluating Modern Surgery's Underdog Story
12:00-1:00 pm Tuesday, March 12, 2024
Swann Fellow Lecture

Dining Room A, 6th Floor Madison Building

Swann Fellow, Zoe Copeman, PhD candidate in Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland, argues that the history of surgery relies on the narrative of
surgery's so-called "torturous" past to legitimize the practices of elite, university-trained medical men, reducing the once valued work of middling and lower-class practitioners to quackery. Drawing from the Library of Congress's eighteenth- and nineteenth-century caricatures, her research traces changes in the public perception of surgery and how visual media across disciplines would transform the surgeon (and his tools) into powerful metaphors of European and American modernity. This event will be recorded.
