- 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.
