Alligator Man Minds His Own Business

My hope is that the story's protagonist is the club-wielding Alligator Man in the foreground, not the blonde doofus wielding the saber upside down in a fight against Lion Satan.

"A writer of absolute competence...who should be more widely read."

Now why does that strike me as faint praise?

>2 MrsLee: That was my thought. "She can spell, punctuate, and write complete sentences." Was Ted being as complimentary as he could be without lying? Is that the best blurb DAW could find?

I'm with Alligator Man and also Satan Lion. Meanwhile, doofus has not looked BEHIND YOU! Those might just be rock paintings, but if so, they do show this is a place with a long stabby tradition.

There seems to be another Red Moon overhead. Are there two of them, and is this all going to be moot when the collision takes them both out?

Perhaps it's like a werewolf thing? Everyone goes all hunter-y and stab-y when the Red Moon is full and ludicrously large in the sky?

Did we have a "ludicrously large Moon" tag at the old place? Unless we're looking at these dudes (possibly dudettes in some cases: I'm no alligator sexer) through a telescope, that Moon should have disintegrated a while ago.

Alligator person: "Don't make eye contact... don't make eye contact... oh crap."

>4 bam2001: My thought exactly about the moon. I was always complaining about it there and here. I don't think we had a tag. But the tidal forces should have broken that one up, and done so much damage to the Sphere of Stabbiness that we wouldn't have this scene.

Maybe it's some kind of exxxxtreeeeme telephoto lens.

'A writer of absolute competence but whose moral compass and ethics are so horrifically compromised that you should find another writer who should be more widely read.'

>7 NomadUK: This. Although Ted might not have known at the time, or even before he died. But ain't nobody buying it nowadays.
