It’s another installment of “The SquircUbe Chronicles,” a monthly serial Sci-Fi story, written by univac & Austin. In this installment, the pod has been malfunctioning in a variety of ways. Hour 1 proves to almost be fatal to Austin, who has lost a few of his limbs, some of which have become entangled, quantumly. As if that weren’t enough, in hour two, as they continue to try and fix the Pod, we find that univac has been injured too, and his non-Newtonian body was been restored to “human” standards, whatever those are.
Installments of “Comic Weekly Man” and “National Lampoon Radio” play in-between scenes.
