| Ha! I LOVE "Mummers from Mercury"! Who knew there'd be a Philadelphia story in Space Adventures? Whoever wrote this sure knew the city pretty well. I like how the various aliens were assigned to Fairmount Park buildings based on climate. And suggesting that they could carry an election in the 22nd Ward is pretty funny, if a little insulting to Mt. Airy and Germantown . . . |
