- it might take a little development.
"Ah, code for "Conrad has not thought this through," I hear you question.
Wrong! I did lots of work on this, easily five minutes-worth, and in my lunch hour, too, which is a misnomer as we only get forty-five minutes.
The news has been awash with all sorts of horrid stuff of late, so much so that I hesitate to look at it, a singular exception to which has been all this drivel about Pokemon Go, or as I like to call it - and since I'm calling the shots here you just have to wince and take it - "Poke Mongo".
Conrad has only the haziest conception of what Pokey is, or involves, and frankly is not interested in finding out any more than that it's Japanese animation, of a rather basic variety. He understands this latest iteration involves travelling to different locations in order to tickle, tackle or tussle various monsters.
I believe Flash Gordon beat you, and the Japs, to it by a considerable margin. Pay attention to "Planet Mongo" - see this exotic alien world and attempt to survive the various monsters that all vye to do you in! In exciting and exotic ways!
For example we have MING!
NO! Art, that buzzing noise is my Tazer warming up - |
Never trust a man with sculpted eyebrows. Never! |
Then there are the forest folk, the Arborians. Art?
Green. |
Then we have the deadly Hawkmen. Art?
If you had a war rocket going begging, they could pullet |
Moving swiftly along, we come to Planet Mongo's fearsome Lionmen.
Part of their Mane Force |
Next we move on to the ocean-dwelling Coralians. Art?
Sorry, can't find anything about Coralians. So here's Flash with a really big gun. |
Not quite what I had in mind. |
Somewhat better |
SFW by the grace of long hair. |
I think we can dismiss the Tusk Men, who would otherwise threaten the SFW status of BOOJUM! with their awful Freudian symbolism, and the Sharkmen, too - more dangerous than the Coralians, who can probably at best turn you into a reef if you stand still for 145 days, since they share the same disadvantages.
Thus, we end with the Blue Magic Men. Art?
NO! Never mind that it's in Swedish, it's not magic. |
Art gets it right. Finally. |
There you go, a guide to the Planet Mongo, the native tribes and - sorry, what's that? I forgot General Kala? How could I!
Deliciously evil, dahling. |
Relax, a couple of ice cubes and she'll be fine. |
* Sorry, been reading lots of "Ash Versus The Evil Dead" tweets over on Twitter.
