- Sally Forth: And the rest of today's strip had to continue off-camera... http://t.co/xaRR84MpMj 6 hours ago
All anyone can ask for in life, really, is a chance to prevent the Turkey Apocalypse.
I think every job has a variant of this, in its own way.
Dude. This is…just…amazing. Wow.
Harlan Ellison wrote a great short story about this, about a young man snatched mid-courtship to be handed over to his destiny: To sit alone in an outpost on the frontier of human space and wait to enter the code sequence that would alert humanity to alien invasion. For decades he sits, and waits, until one day it happens.
That was before Harlan Ellison became a complete asshole.
You had me going until that last sentence, Harold.
Obviously, there can be no such story!
My favorite story of Ellison being an asshole came about as a result of Babylon 5.
In one of the episodes, a character was shown reading a book by Harlan Ellison called ‘Working Without A Net’ — the title of his as-yet unpublished memoirs. Apparently, after the episode was filmed, Ellison requested the book prop just so he could take it to sci-fi conventions with him and get people to think that it had come out and they hadn’t heard.
So, Isis is the enemy of zombie turkeys? I had no idea!
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!” — Arthur Carlson, WKRP in Cincinnati.
Ellison’s assiness is so blatant, even the writers of Scooby Doo acknowledge it; in a recent episode, Shaggy saved his ass and got a lecture on, like, his grammar.
The part you didn’t see in the final strip? Miriam is her pet ferret.
I’d suggest looking under the bed or in the back of the closet then. Probably there with the spare socks and anything else movable.
