Mars Defense Issues Alert

[Gene Storey]

The Federation would like to show its appreciation, while the planet was
under attack again this week. "We have detected other incoming devices, and
we can deal with them as well," said the military defense spokesman.

An unknown device entered the atmosphere, and was destroyed by the air
defense forces. Operations are under way to locate and identify the source.
We would also advise citizens that a device is also orbiting the planet, and we
will track it to its destruction as well.

The device is considered to small to be of a great risk, and would be destroyed
upon any descent to the planet.

No, just a standard Lithobraking maneuver.
Marvin, you really _should_ be getting back to work on the
Illudiium-Pu-38 Space Modulator. And how've you been coming
with that project to capture an Earth Creature for study?
Don't forget, it'll be Happy OER Time in about 3 weeks.

It's the Illudium Q-36 Space Modulator.

It depends on which episode. In "Haredevil Hare", it's as I
mentioned. In "Hareway to the Stars, you are correct. (Or do I have
that inverted. I might have had the silly thing in reverse.

Of course, all of that pales in comparison to Illudium Phosdex, the
Shaving Cream Molecule, only found on Planet X.

Speaking of, does anybody know where to find some of those old Bugs
cartoons? The ones with Hitler and other war time subjects? It was
probably back in the 70's when TV stopped replaying those old ones.
Back when bugs was chased through the theater and he would walk on top
of folks heads, etc.

PC got them, all the WWII stuff with stereotyped Germans & Japanese
was pulled to avoid insulting them anew.. I tried to buy a couple of 16mm
reels off eBay but the auction was cancelled due to a law suit by WB.
Come to think of it, I never thought it likely that suit had much merit,
perhaps it's time to check again.

I have a video collection from MGM/UA Home Video called "Bugs & Daffy: The
Wartime Cartoons." It's got such items as Herr Meets Hare, Draftee Daffy,
Plane Daffy, Falling Hare, etc. Somehow, they are not as funny today as they
were in 1944.
