The DNA Disaster

Add comments

Tom Swift IS the DNA disaster.

Emster Comments: His blaster gun looked similar to Jimmy’s toy web gun, which meant little Jimmy was back home terrorizing the neighbors and Tom was about to be painfully dispatched.

Published 1991

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 6.33 out of 10)

    Poor Tom Swift. He used to be building outposts in space http://www.drugfreereading.com/STARSHIP/seh/tomspost.gif and occasionally almost destroying the planet https://images.bookfever.com/production/11/74080—height_450.jpg?v=1542763113 , now he’s stuck in a discarded Goosebumps cover and cleaning up genetic failures with a lame-ass web gun.

    If only Tom had seen ‘Weird Science’ then the cover might be straying into Boris Vallejo territory.

    Mess with the laws of evolution, Tom – and you just might risk devirginization!

    “DNA stands for Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid,” said Tom initially.

    “No, I’m not related to Taylor,” said Tom swiftly.

    “It’s all due to heredity,” said Tom genially.

    Back cover explains how Tom got into this dire predicament.

    @fred: “I probably shouldn’t keep black holes around the house,” Tom muttered darkly.

    Tom has been contributing to the delinquency of a mynah.

    @Emster: GSS for the comment! Can’t wait to see the cover of little Jimmy’s book.

    Isn’t the critter’s head going to be clear of the web and thus still be able to bite Tom? And what of the giant insects? Of course it’s hard to tell since Tom and the web seem to be impinging on our plane of existence from a different one. At the least he’s standing in a very awkward position, plus he should have fired earlier.

    Indeed, quite a let-down from his earlier adventures, as @Bruce pointed out. Not even a flying atomic car taking on desert Cossacks.

    @Tor, @Bruce: GSS! for the on-point comments.

    GSS for all the Swiftie jokes, she said belatedly.
