I liked it okay too, but come on, The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm was SO MUCH BETTER. I mean, it had people who lived in a garbage dump! And a village where there are cows. And kidnapping, and interesting fruit, and flying cars, and crazy hags, and a bloodthirsty cult with funny masks, and nuclearly mutated detectives, and antelope-themed Christmas decorations. And a MELLOWER. Who wouldn't love to have a mellower? And INTRIGUE. It was an adventure!
