You know that feeling that there's someone

  • You know that feeling that there's someone behind you, someone in the basement, behind the shower curtain. That uncertainty about whether the door was already ajar. That's
  • because you are mental. Why are ghosts always from the Victorian era? Nobody ever talks about cave man ghosts or indigenous tribes. No, it is always some creepy looking person from
  • an elevator or a magic the gathering game that talk about ghosts. Other ghosts are mentioned in lore. In fact, there is Space Ghost! Extremely scary. From the future.
  • Ebeneezer Scrooge had been visited by Space Ghost (4th Christmas, distant future) but had been ignored by the taciturn geezer as he had wearied of ghosts in general. It is true!
  • Then, just as Mr. Scrooge was getting accustomed to all these spectres, the ghost of Christmas a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away appeared. He intoduced himself as Obi-Wan

  • -artoon Heck, and was he there now? He decided to give the animator the finger, but seeing as he only had three, he couldn't figure out which one to give. "Heck," he said.

    You know that feeling someone is behind you? It's the animator!

    There was an animator back in the 50's and/or 60's who went by the name of Heck (short for Hector, maybe?) but I can't find his last name.
