Morton's Dream

Narration bar: Morton plans his strategy. Morton: “HEY, TIGER!”
Newspaper headline: NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED? Scientists Verify Photo Is No Hoax
Talk show host (out of frame): “So tell us, Morton, how did you trap this frightening animal?” Morton: “It wasn’t easy, Jimmy; it took months of careful detective work…”
Presenter for Faux News: “Terrorist tigers in our midst, or just more godless, anti-American, liberal perversion? Stay tuned…”

It’s amazing to see just how far the madness can go! I wasn’t sure who would be hosting Morton on a talk show, so I picked my favorite. (Don’t let it go to your head, Jimmy!) The makeup folks on that show did an amazing job, managing to get Morton to look like a real person. (That idea, by the way, came from Gifny Richata’s terrific crew at Oray Studios. I write ’em; they bring ’em to life, and they really took off with this one!)

Just like the media to get it all wrong from a single unreliable source.
