This post was inspired by a post by M. Bouffant which was clear cut bait for Smut Clyde (or his alter ego Sm*t Cl*de) and Zombie Rotten McDonald.
I can't see a post referencing Harvester of Eyes without making a reference to Chun the Unvoidable. While poking around on the intert00bz looking for a better reference to "Chun", I found a trailer for an alternative-universe Saturday morning cartoon which rivals The Wacky Adventures of Maal Dweb and Saturday Morning Watchmen in awesomeness. I present to you the opening credits for Saturday morning cartoon version of Jack Vance's The Dying Earth:
OMGOMGOMGOMG!!! I'm a huge fan of Jack Vance as long-time readers of my blog will know. While the video doesn't always conform my visualizations of the action in the stories (I've always pictured Chun the Unavoidable as a hulking, hunched, rather beetle-like brute), I love it nonetheless... what kind of fanboy's heart wouldn't beat just a little faster to see "The Excellent Prismatic Spray" depicted in a video? As a bonus, I found a multi-part interview with Jack Vance on teh Y00T00B.

Man. Still kicking, & he's got three yrs. on also-kicking Fred Pohl.
Yeah, he's a marvel. It's a month old, but there's an opening for a blurb writer. I think I'll have to reply.
Some CAS appreciation here.
In other news, xkcd was recently ripping off your earlier Riddled-related speculations about a mole of moles.
I'd go for the sauce and not the critters, S.C.
(IF that is your real name!!!!!)

I think its Chun the Unavoidable (first link). Unless I'm missing a hilarious joke which very well may be. Can't wait to see the vid (at home).
Thanks for catching that, KG. Weird, I had his name right further on in the post.
