Holy Spandex! Sparky the Wonder Penguin ducked into a phone booth and Sparkman emerged, accompanied by his faithful companion, The Blinkster (aka Blinky the Dog). These fearless enemies of Dumbos/Teabaggers experience the horror of a suddenly-ineffectual "Heavy-Handed Ray Of Ironic Justice." Sparkman aims the ray-gun at a pair of Dumbos and nothing happens! We already live in an ironic parallel universe of drones and kill-lists. If this is a (fair & balanced) modern horror story, so be it.
