Ehhhhh

Cinnamon is piled up in the kitchen window like snowdrifts and the ants are now gleefully slaloming down it. Everything reeks of cinnamon and I'm ready to board up the kitchen and live on takeout and Doritos.

Since I'm so totally through with that room altogether, let's pay a visit to Captain Future's secret moonbase and meet The Brain. Simon Wright was a scientist friend of Future's father, What's-his-name Newton, and together they developed Grag and Otho. Simon was elderly with some sort of terminal disease and everyone thought he needed to live, like, hundreds of years longer than he deserved so Newton took out his brain and put it in this hilarious see-through case with what looks like wind-up joke teeth on the front.

Eventually Capt. Future puts magnetic doodads on this comedy brain case so he can fly around, probably because he's secretly sick of Simon's passive-aggressive insistence on being carried everywhere because if he had a body that would just waste energy he could be using to think. Asshat.

"Carry me," he whines electronically, plastic teeth chattering in sync with his voice. "Don't think you're too big for Grag to spank, you ungrateful whippersnapper!"

Curt chokes back a laugh because really, those joke teeth never get old. They're almost as funny as the antenna Simon uses that somehow looks like an arrow shot through his brain case or that soft air cushion that makes unfortunate fart noises. Don't even ask about those deely-bobber eyestalks.

Meanwhile, Captain Future shoots some monkey men.
