The Spirit is a fictional masked crimefighter created by cartoonist Will Eisner. He first appeared June 2, 1940 in "The Spirit Section", the colloquial name given to a 16-page Sunday supplement, distributed to 20 newspapers by the Register and Tribune Syndicate and reaching five million readers during the 1940s. From the 1960s to 1980s, a handful of new Eisner Spirit stories appeared in Harvey Comics and elsewhere, and Warren Publishing and Kitchen Sink Press variously reprinted the feature in black-and-white comics magazines and in color comic books. In the 1990s and 2000s, Kitchen Sink Press and DC Comics also published new Spirit stories by other writers and artists.
The Spirit chronicles the adventures of a masked vigilante who fights crime with the blessing of the city's police commissioner Dolan, an old friend. Despite the Spirit's origin as detective Denny Colt, his real identity was virtually unmentioned again, and for all intents and purposes he was simply "the Spirit". The stories range through a wide variety of styles, from straightforward crime drama and noir to lighthearted adventure, from mystery and horror to comedy and love stories, often with hybrid elements that twisted genre and reader expectations.

While fighting the evil Dr. Cobra, young policeman Denny Colt was hit by a liquid which put him in a state of a deep coma. Believed dead, Denny was buried at Wildwood Cemetery, but awoke from his grave 24-hours later. He established a base under his tombstone and using his new-found anonymity, he began to fight crime and protect the people of Central City as The Spirit.
His identity is known only to his "driver," Ebony White and Police Commissioner Dolan.

Get the The Spirit mug.A movie that came out around Christmas time and was a fuckin flop. Makes some realize that they could have spent the ticket money watching a monkey eat shit and it would have been more satisfying.

Get the The Spirit mug.The Spirit of Thanksgiving is when one member wears a pilgrim hat, and the other wears an Indian headband. Then one of the members stuffs their asshole with stuffing and tops it off with gravy. The other member then proceeds to eat out all of the stuffing and gravy while listing the things they're thankful for. The member with their asshole being eaten has to gobble like like a turkey while being eaten out.
Dave: "Dude so I heard you went to Jessica's house last weekend! How was that?"
Jim: "It went well bro, I really showed her the spirit of Thanksgiving."

Get the The Spirit of Thanksgiving mug.A quote from American sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which has since become a meme response to when someone has apparently tried to do something positive or well-intentioned, but with little success or while failing to entirely understand the thing they are trying to support.

Get the Fruit Of The Spirit mug.One in the Spirit means to be one as a group worshipping God. A group of people that are worshipping their God as one in unison.
We were One in the Spirit as we sang around the campfire at Bible Camp. We were all One in the Spirit worshipping the Lord also in our church Sunday. Everyone was as One in the Spirit when we all prayed together to help missionaries around the world.
