When we were kids, Pluto was a planet.
Arguably our favorite planet because it was relatable:
little, standing on the outskirts of things, named for a Disney character.
(OK, we didn’t exactly understand naming rights…)

Anyway, I know it’s no longer official, but I’m giving it its due here anyway.
I’m nostalgic that way.

Pluto

A failed audition:
Meek, small, not right for the part.
(Has cult following)
