Whatever your feelings on the matter, there's really no way to avoid the word and still cover this story--the term is used pervasively (and frequently incorrectly). So if you feel the need to skip this post, I can hardly blame you. And in all honesty, it's not much of a story. Just skip all the way to the standings at the end--you won't miss much.
We start in another one of those fictional countries...
Anyway, Zero and his droog Gont have plans for this hidden paradise:
But of course, Holmes, while a brilliant mind, is no doctor. So...
Still, Watson is only a fictional doctor, and a general practitioner at that, so I don't know how much you should trust his using a stethoscope to the back to determine that the pituitary gland has "dried up."
Holmes stays on the case...
Kid visits the chemist...
Too bad you delayed him, because just at that moment?
Holmes continues his tracking...
But they have a plan:
Where's the real Sherlock Holmes, you faker?!?
So whom does Kid call now?
Seriously, if they were this dumb, how did they expect to rule Islandia?
Gulliver tracks them down, as the special effects kick in:
Also:
Man, this was a stupid story.
