"The Diary" is the thirtieth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. In the episode, Jake's son T.V. finds an old diary, which revives a decades-old mystery. It was written by Canadian illustrator Jillian Tamaki, her second episode on the show after "Astral Plane". The episode was broadcast on Cartoon Network on February 26, 2015. Writers of Wired and The A.V. Club praised Tamaki for the way she wrote the episode as well as the visuals overall.
Jake's son T.V. finds an old diary, which revives a decades-old mystery surrounding the writer of the book. T.V. soon pores over the scrawling of the writer, whose initials are B.P. The more and more T.V. reads, however, the more obsessed he becomes, to the point where he soon begins to experience everything that the diary's author wrote about. Eventually, with the help of Jake, T.V. is able to discover that the diary belonged to Nurse Poundcake when she was younger.
"The Diary" is the thirtieth episode of the sixth season of Adventure Time. Canadian illustrator Jillian Tamaki wrote the episode, for which she was also a storyboard artist. Her graphic novel This One Summer won the Caldecott Medal—the first of its format to receive this award—earlier in the month of the episode's broadcast. Prior to this episode, Tamaki wrote "Astral Plane", also in the sixth season. In "The Diary", Dan Mintz and Alia Shawkat voice act the respective characters of T.V. and Nurse Betsy Poundcake.
