I was confused for a second there, because my brain at this point parses “back to normal” as meaning “when COVID is over”, and that, at least, is something they don’t seem to be dealing with in the comic.
It’s a world of drinks
Bourbon, Gin, and Scotch
It’s a world of dancers
and they’re scantily clad
It’s a world full of fun
And its made just for one
Horny blue little unicorn
It’s Baron’s World after all
It’s Baron’s world after all
It’s Baron’s world after all
So bite me if you don’t like it….
It’s at times like this, when I am riding a small boat under the spot where Baron Mistycorn’s genitals would be, that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother had said to me.
“The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Blues”, Diana Gallagher … if I did this right, this link should start in the right place; if not, skip ahead to about 0:44:00.
Devotee readers came in
From the Internet today.
Downloaded the strip, and here’s what they had to say.
“We’re findin’ everything surprising strong, not some crashing bore.
We can laugh or heads right off, at B. Mistycorn.”
A journey most appallin’
A life wrote big when small,
And they were too busy writin’ those old comments, all.
As the end was showin’, and with a sight to see,
Devotee readers came in to watch some history.
Ride, readers, ride, upon this mystery trip.
Be afraid of the ends you’ll see within this strip.
Ride, readers, ride, upon this mystery trip
On the way, chorus girls, within this new plot twist.
—from “Ride, Captain, Ride,” written by Frank “Skip” Konte and Mike Pinera, sung by Blues Image.
So, if the giant statue a freudian comment on the discrepancy between the Baron’s public persona and his castrated self image. Or is “nads” just a really funny word.
Personally, I’d probably have gone with balls or maybe junk or tackle. Which is why I’m glad that Shaenon and Jeff are writing this and choosing the clearly funnier nads.
Also, Nick is trying so hard to be grumpy. Aww, bless.
Nick, you better give him a hard time about this when things are back to normal.
“Back to normal”
Haven’t read the comic much then..
“Normal” is relative.
It certainly isn’t any of mine

Oh god.
Tip and Ginny would have a field day with this. This amount of Ego is really something…
Do I detect a bit of a Red Dwarf influence here?
Well, he’s not evil or tasteless enough for it to be Biff’s Casino…
Thanks for making me not the only huge RD nerd here 🙂
This has the feel of a genuine Whimsy Corp attraction, mothballed but preserved for posterity by Baron.
I hope Dr. Collodi doesn’t end up like Wade Dazzle…
They’re kind of still in Vegas. Ride out to Hoover Dam and make a comparison.
Be happy he does not pass his blessings unto you in the form of a shower, Nick.
I’m hoping to find Baron sitting in a tiny man-cave watching porn and all this is just to discourage visitors.

I’m glad/sorry that I’m not the only one with that particular form of PTSD.
Into the Tunnel Of Don’t Go There.
If this guy’s egomania gets any bigger, he’s going to grow an extra arm and head and start stealing spaceships to head to Magrathea.
If we start seeing him with a towel, worry.
Hey! Zaphod’s just this guy, you know?
It’s at times like this, when I am riding a small boat under the spot where Baron Mistycorn’s genitals would be, that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother had said to me.
Why, what did she say?
I don’t know! I didn’t listen!
I’m frightened of what I started here, really. I need a shot or three of Ol’ Janx Spirit to calm down.
I’m partial to Pan-Galactic GargleBlasters, myself.
Just don’t drink more than two of them.

“The first one went down easy, and the second one deceptively smooth […]”
Well, at least his list isn’t starting with the Pyramids, or fire, or the wheel.

*raises lit lighter*
…Oh God, it just clicked: Baron is a Roller Coaster Tycoon / Theme Park Inc player!
Could be worse- he could move to Montana and be a dental floss tycoon…
Would he then be a Mother of Invention?
Can’t you see him on the Pygmy Pony?
