CHANGING HEMISPHERES TO THE CONTINENT OF WELLVERNIA...... Wyatt Hickok and Ilya Trostel had recently visited the country of Pathamel, birthplace of their lovingly-remembered comrade Otto Kergoff. Two young Pathamelian men who knew the Kergoffs had joined up as Towerman squires with permission...

*** I'm sure I said that Wilma Dearthing bore a child to her husband Diskoduck, but I can't find the baby's name or sex.

Now I'll revisit Chimpanzia, from which I'm pretty sure I said Traynrekk escaped to meet his fate at Zazdub World. Anyway, forget him. As we pick up, the Directvidean System has already bidden a grateful goodbye to most of the special folks, e.g. Speedy Greyhoundus, who had...

Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar includes the line, "The evil that men do lives after them." William Shakespeare had existed on Mediumgard Earth, but this Earth's occasional contact with Hallpasscard had altered The Bard's body of work. For instance, A Midsummer Night's Dream had about the same...

OKAY, IT'S BEEN SOME WHILE SINCE I PROVIDED A SHORT MULTI- PLOTLINE REVIEW OF WHAT'S BEEN DESCRIBED IN RECENT WEEKS. On Punksteema, four parties of heroes have plenty of business ahead of them. Sir Wyatt Hickok has been on Wellvernia (the south continent, where he and Ronald both were born)...
