Peter Packer 1

Three housemates reading quietly.
Theo: “I think ‘Band With’ would make a great name for a musical group of fat guys.”
Lightfoot and Caedmon appear surprised.
Caedmon: “Is that the best you’ve got today, Black Wolf?” Voice from out of frame: “Give me a break. We just started a new year.”

Writer Peter Packer wrote (among other things) 25 of the 83 episodes of the original Lost In Space television series. One of these was the without-a-doubt worst episode of the series: “The Great Vegetable Rebellion.” Actor Jonathan Harris (“Dr. Smith”) often told the story of his utter shock upon reading the script, demanding that Packer explain himself. Packer was quoted as saying, “I didn’t have another g**damned idea in my head.” Since then, I and other fellow writers have called our own failures to come up with a good story as “Peter Packer moments.” You’ll undoubtedly see more of these as time goes by.

He should have tried “Large Crowd” for a band of fat crows ^_^

Yes, but listening to a bunch of crows would be murder… 😛

Wow, even the first panel of the year was a sign that 2020 would suck! You are a prophet, sir!

Tristan Black Wolf

Unintentionally, I assure you… but I’m glad to take the credit. 😀
