Episode 7: To Fight a God

 The Mediterranean. Once the world sea, now the world seat of pleasure cruises. And on one we find that dashing Dr. Hill.

“But of course I will examine you.”

Who is reminding us all why he’s better under the eyes of Dr. Belinda. But, what’s this rising out of the sea?

“I am free!”

Oh the horrors! Oh, the humanity! Oh, the…sausage?

“Hot dogs. Come get your hot dogs. They only cost YOUR SOUL!”

What strange deity is this?

“I don’t know. My degree is honorary.”

Then while Captain Romance Cover fights this new menace, let us zip away to the mansion of Dr. Dull. Dr. Dull, are you home?

“Who are you, disembodied voice?”

Oh good, Dr. Dull is home. No one knows if he’s a horrible villain or a really awkward hero, but his mind is full of useless information that we desperately need.

“I have feelings, you know. I keep them locked up in my vanity.”

Fascinating. Now, let me show you a still image of the titanic fight going on over the horizon. My gods, will you look at that form! That function!

“By my fire thighs!”

That lovely barbecue. Truly, it’s beyond the ability of words to describe! Thank goodness we don’t have to paint a word picture, but can just marvel at its majesty.

“Very true indeed. Now, what do you need?”

Oh, we’re just wondering who this new deity is.

“That’s the Sumero-Cannanite god Hisrod, inventor of the American hotdog—”

I always knew they were suspicious. Thank you doctor. Now let’s get back to the action before…well, will you look at that. Captain Romance Cover has ruled supreme again.

“While I like a good burrito from time to time, I have not.”

What? You were vanquished?

“Indeed. Something else has drawn the attention of my foe. Now, before it’s too late, I must be off to reunite with my better half. Until next time, my dear!”

And stepping off the side of the ship, the Earth spins to catch up so that our hero may disappear into the sunset.

And so, another day is almost saved. But will we learn more about this Hisrod? How did he almost defeat our hero? What vileness could have drawn Hisrod away? Tune in next week to find out.
