Trulbert: The Final Installment
By Mitch Berg
– 7AM, November 10, 3715: Somewhere In What Was Minneapolis, MN
George Taylor looked warily, scanning the jagged, geometric landscape around him, as Zira, the gorgeous blonde, clung to him on the back of the white stallion.
Suddenly, he pulled up short, his face wrinkling with alarm.
“No!”, he yelled, the anguish palpable in his voice.
He climbed off the horse. “Oh, no, no, no”, he repeated, louder, his voice taking on an air of panic that started to alarm Zira.
Taylor jogged a few steps. “Noooooooo!”
Zira climbed off the horse, and wariliy stepped toward Taylor.
“You blew the whole thing up!”, Taylor bellowed, falling to his knees, as Zira, sliding into panic herself, ran to him.
“You maniacs. You did it!”
Zira looked at the shape in the rubble ahead of them.
“You blew the whole thing up!”
Ahead of them, a statue of Mary Tyler Moore, throwing her stocking cap into the air, sat, cockeyed and tilted backwards, amid a pile of long-weathered rubble.
“Damn you! Damn you all! Damn you all to hell!”
Is this how “Trulbert” really ends?
Check back this summer, when “Trulbert: A Comic Novella About the End of the World As We Know It” comes out on E-Book!
Featuring new material not found in the blog serial (including, like, an ending!)

I’d have to say you got the prize selection hosed up Kel. AC is an AH, but he’s light years ahead of DG\PV

Swiftee, you’re right about the quality issue, I was thinking more in terms of bulk.
Maybe we could make the prize for the $5 contribution something like “True things DG/Peeve Have Said”

“I was thinking more in terms of bulk”
Well when I think of DG/PV I think of bulk too. Bulk fiber one consumes then flushes, but bulk none-the-less.

Ok who had the nuke

Also very unsatisfiying ending. Then again so was 1984.

POD, I found the ending to 1984 quite satisfying…although since they didn’t bump Winston off, I can see where you’d be disappointed.
But keep your chin up…Iran’s gonna get them a nuke or two, and they’re already bustin’ at the seams to use one. Gonna be high times down there in low places.

I was thinking he should have said “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a d**n.” Kinda like UHF.
And in honor of Iran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRLON3ddZIw

You have no idea how badly I want these mullahs down here. I have assembled the men of history with um… large members to do them raw for all eternity.
