TRAVELOGUE
THE TRIO ON A MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR or THE SHOCK AND AWE SHOW: COMING TO A CAVE NEAR YOU!
13 June 2015
Greetings again, most honored reader!
It looks as if the kids and the Thinker are having their own little grief with Grocs. But have these poor creatures really advanced, grown, or changed much in fifteen hundred years since my first “Grief with Grocs,” as seen HERE ? They’ve picked up some rudimentaries of civilization, a hat or coat here; a few pairs of boots there. But beyond that? They’re still dwelling in caves. Cave-men, really.
So what real chance did they have when the Thinker’s New Magic show rolled into town, ready for destruction? About as much chance as a turd in a hurricane. But the Thinker’s plan proceeds apace: he didn’t really need to kill a lot of Grocs. In fact, he may not even have killed any, but the power of his attack was so great, so awe-inspiring, I would not be surprised if the Grocs thought not twice, but just once before continuing their attack on the Thinker. But will the Nosferatu and the larger, more powerful Ogres be as impressed?
Meanwhile, our three friends sit comfortably aboard the Tank, there for the ride. With the power of the Thinker’s New Magic, the Tank, they haven’t had to do anything at all so far. Maybe Sgt. Mac will have them make a curtain call on the next stop of the Thinker’s New Magic Show. Let the Underwyrld powers see who’s really responsible for this may-hem, in the process creating the scapegoats that the Thinker needs to deflect attention from him.
Until next week, honored reader—
With Cognescentii blessings!
