Dirk Gently is back!

THE LONG DARK TEA-TIME OF THE SOUL

It's mostly exposition and setup, this episode, but such things are an investment in the future. If nothing else there are the radio production talents of Dirk Maggs to appreciate.

Ah, but do they pronounce it teh-ah-tim-eh? Oh wait, wrong series... ;)

Maybe the radio play will be good incentive for me to FINALLY read the books.

Haha, I had the exact same thought when typing it out. :)

I love the first radio play but it hasn't gotten me to read the book yet, possibly because I'm afraid it'll ruin the radio play. Maybe someday, if I ever have any real time to read again.

Ahhhh, Dirk Gently... you know, now that I think about it, that was some of the first real fan-art I ever did. I was studying graphic design at the local university, and reading the book while slogging through a really tough "Drawing for Graphic Design" class, so, I ended up doodling pics from the story in the margins of my sketches for the class. So... the teacher got annoyed, and set us an assignment doing a set of illustrations from our favorite books, yada, yada, yada, and I did several of Dirk with his big mustaches and bald head, glasses, and tie flipping up over his shoulder. It was a lot of fun!

Hmmm... guess I better go digging through my portfolios, too... because I had this really funny set of... okay, now I can't remember her name, but she was trying to have a pizza delivered to her flat... and then the guy who was a truck driver AND a weather god...

Okay, that's it, I need to go find my copy of that book and read it again!!
