Though encounters with this species were rarely fatal, Warren and Reggie had gotten between the mother and her cubs, putting themselves in a sticky situation.
Nothing to do with comics, but doctortoon, if you need a vacation after your vacation, take your next on a Lake Powell houseboat. I understand this is a blight on the environment in every conceivable way, but what’s done is done (although, Hayduke lives and somebody’s going to blow the Glen Canyon Dam eventually, probably Randall Flagg, and LA will revert to desert ecology). Walk under Rainbow Bridge. Climb up La Gorce Arch and jump (dive, as I have, front layout, 7.5, if you dare) off the big rock.
The thing is, you keep your sea legs for days after returning to workaday, and the office floor keeps rolling under your feet. It’s remarkable, and when the sensation fades, it’s more like wistful than snatched back to reality.
Well, if you’ve been trained by Jesuits, you take a Manichean point of view. Evil will always present itself as good. So, we have Central American freedom Fighters that murder Liberation Theologians AMDG, and they get away with it because they’re Ollie North and you aren’t. And stakes through their greedy hearts don’t work. They just have another cardiac surgery and retreat to a bunker in an undisclosed location and come back to do more harm by manipulating cocaine-addled simpletons.
Loyd Henreid’s been running the country for the Walking Man for eight years, with Donald Merwin Elbert in charge of foreign policy with a PNAC mandate, and it sure has gone to hell. Time for Mother Abagail.
Simplistic? Maybe the truth is simple, and it will surely set you free.
