NEWS FROM PLANET FRIGIA

FRIGIA — (An outer space adventure fraught with imminent danger.)  Capt. Flash Zarkin reports that the expedition to the lost planet of Frigia had its anxious moments as the Electronic Stability Control (skid) light blinked wildly on the module of the Dodge space vehicle.  The air in the space capsule was quite “blue” as  Dr. Zarkor swore never to return to this remote planet lacking “any intelligent life.”   But that wasn’t entirely true since Frigia’s Princess Fria was hosting at Lund’s & Byerly’s deli on France Avenue.  The normally cheerful Princess muttered something about leaving this “frozen hell hole” for a more hospitable planet where icicles don’t hang from the eyebrows.  Could that be Mongo where the crazed Ming the Merciless rules until the third week of January?  Hello Mongo, goodbye Fria! (Next chapter: Zarkor Meets the Death Ray).

That is exactly how I would picture Minneapolis at this time of year.
