Winchell Mink: The Misadventure Begins

by Steve Young

All he wanted was to experience life (whatever that means) -- and now he's trapped on a high and dangerous cliff with only his pet turtle, Hannibal, around to help! Fortunately, Hannibal is one of the Great Mystical Turtles of the Tortoissaic Period. Thanks to Hannibal's bizarre powers, Winchell finds himself time-hopping and body-morphing with baseball-playing dinosaurs, on trial for his life in a courtroom full of dancing tortoises, and fighting off bullies along with the appropriately nicknamed Bobby Plungerbutt. Can Winchell survive all these encounters and still manage to get home in time for apple pie? Only author Steve Young knows for sure! But whatever happens, just don't expect Winchell's story to be like any you've ever read before. Unless, of course, you've read Winchell's story before.

Normally I'm all for zaney humor, but this was too over the top for even me. There's not really a plot to hold all of the wackyness together.
