Free-Range But Not Cage-Free

Perswayssick Radio: Unearthly Comedy

“Free-Range But Not Cage-Free” – Episode 102

Gneeecey finds himself stranded on a hyena-infested “prehysterical” island after his plane plummets into the Stomachian Sea. The strange humanoid creatures there think he’s a god of some type, wearing his Bimbus Air pilot’s hat and red high-top sneakers, and they bow to him. He charges them with building him a crude boat so he can set sail for the island of Guadalulu and the General John J. Krapp Airfield. There, he believes, he can accomplish his goal of delaying Perswayssick County’s upcoming election. Disqualified from running for a third consecutive term as the county’s Grate Gizzygalumpaggis, he had persuaded Nicki to run in his place. But alas, due to a severe head injury, she’s unable to hit the campaign trail.

The spotted hyenas’ “soothing hammering” makes Gneeecey sleepy. He removes his waterlogged hat and sneakers and falls asleep. To his utter dismay, he awakens to find that the hyenas had built a cage around him as he slept. They were also bowing and worshipping the hyena, who was wearing his airline cap and sneakers.

Back home, in Gneeecey’s mansion, Dorothy visits again, demanding payment for the large quantity of eat-now-pay-later Freak O’Nature snacks Gneeecey gobbled up.

Dr. Idnas and Grandma continue caring for Nicki. As she recovers from her severe head injury, she seems improved, briefly, raising their hopes, but then floats in and out of consciousness, recounting more of the bizarre birthday party Gneeecey gave her.

Sooperflea, whose superhero ESP has been on the fritz, begins hearing chattering, in his head, of spotted hyenas.

Meanwhile, back on the “prehysterical” island, while the hyenas nap, Gneeecey, grasping the cage’s prison-like bars to hold it above his head, sneaks away, complaining about how heavy it is. Eventually, he realizes he can just step out of the floorless thing. As he does, he hears the hyenas coming. He climbs the nearest tree and is soon surrounded by the laughing beasts.
