"Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it's the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters." - Greg Rucka

Priceless humour, that is!

Interestingly, both Goodnight Moon and Dune give me, for lack of a better term, "the creeps" but in almost diametrically opposite ways: the former, with its subtle existentialist undertones that practically abandon the reader to the barren nothingness of the night air (before returning the reader to the at least marginally familiar/human "noises everywhere"), and the latter, with its overtly messianic themes that seem to make it plain that practically nothing is beyond human reach (e.g., even vast lengths of outer space can be moulded by (altered) human minds to suit human ends), and all is brimming with Being.  BRRRR!!! Edvard Munch moment!  :o

P.S.

GG, I think the exact title is The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers.
Two words: Moog.

The Kirk and Spock are friends had me laughing, the way he gave them those stupid frog and toad faces was really brilliant.
I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.
