In Monty's defense, you can't have to many guard-hounds on the estate, what with girl scout cookie season coming up.

"Too," I mean. Early dementia's setting in.

Say, reading this post I was reminded of a couple of issues of Grant Morrison's (famous or notorious) run on Doom Patrol, where the team travels to an alien planet to intervene in a civil war. One side employs monstrous beasts they call "smoke dogs," which seem to lack any sense except smell. The thing is, these hounds can smell and hunt through TIME.
In the end, the only thing that could stop them was Crazy Jane, a schizophrenic walking deus ex machina who pulled new superpowers out of her skirt. I wonder if Morrison didn't read Belknap at some point. He's seemed to have read just about everything else. m.p.

I haven't read ANY of the DOOM PATROL stories and I keep hearing how offbeat and interesting they were. Sometimes I'm too Retro for my own good (he says as he digs into 1940s BLACKHAWK with Reed Crandall art...).
