The DCR: Saturday Specials - 10/26/2013
by Hal Bent
Saturday morning...cold autumn morning in New England for yours truly this morning. Excited to be playing hooky from work (Saturday is optional? See you Monday!) and looking forward to an omelette! OK, now I'm hungry...
9 Chickweed Lane by Brooke McEldowney:
Not to be rude (no, wait, I'm supposed to be rude!), but this is lame. End it already, McEldowney. Boring. Uninteresting. I hope this was a vacation in Aruba week and he just mailed this crap in as some filler from some time ago--that's the only excuse I will accept.
Adam@Home by Brian Basset:
Again I submit that these kids are not Adam's and the years of hints dropped by his wife are finally starting to stick. That said, he carved the pumpkins per the kids instructions? Makes sense to me, he hands those kids a knife and they're spending his life insurance two days later when the check clears and his body sits unclaimed in a morgue.
Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II:
The Rancor awaits below, Ziggy! Hah-hah! (That makes Ziggy's doctor Jabba the Hut? Whatever, just run with it and don't kill my joy at Ziggy's demise) You have no jedi skills, Ziggy. The end is nigh!
Wait, are those hinges indicating he's just going to launch Ziggy into the wall...that won't kill him...he's got enough body fat to absorb that kind of blow. Is there even a spring to launch him. Is it going to slowly rise and slide the chair five feet to the right? What the hell is going on here?

I can't believe I'm spending the time to type this, but if the hinges overhang the opening enough, then the trap door could fall downward.
Thanks, Andy. I know nothing of hinges...I just want Ziggy to die. ;)
What's most intriguing (if that's the right word) thing about this "Ziggy" episode is not that the "Doctor" looks like one of the Se7en Dwarfs, all stretched out...
No, the weird thing is, WHERE IS THIS TAKING PLACE? It's a blue void of nothingness! How the hell is the doctor even standing? What are those hinges attached to?
