This here story, it’s called “Enki’s Puzzle Comic”, you hear? It’s about this fella, or somethin’, called Enki. Sounds like a funny name to me. And somethin’ about a puzzle. Lord knows what kind of puzzle it is. Maybe one of them picture puzzles with a thousand pieces. I ain’t got the patience for that, no sir.
I seen them comic things, all colorful and such. My grandson, he reads ’em. Says they got all kinds of stories in ’em, superheroes and whatnot. This Enki fella, maybe he’s one of them superheroes, with a cape and all. Or maybe he ain’t. I don’t know nothin’ about that.
They say this Enki’s Puzzle thing is a comic, so it’s got pictures, I reckon. Pictures are nice. Easier to understand than all them words. This Enki, he’s a “godlike being,” they say. Well, ain’t that somethin’? Like them old gods from them old stories, I suppose. Big and powerful, I bet.
This one fella, Nick, he’s in the story, too. Somethin’ about him breakin’ a leg. Hope he’s alright. Breakin’ a leg ain’t no fun, let me tell ya. ‘Specially when you gotta do chores around the house. I don’t know what he has to do in the story but probably no chores, only puzzles.
And there’s a lady, too. Sittin’ on a sofa, playin’ with a glowin’ cube. What in the Sam Hill is a glowin’ cube? Sounds like somethin’ from one of them space movies. Weird stuff, these young folks come up with nowadays. Back in my day, we just had regular cubes, made of wood. And we liked it!
This story, it’s got chapters, like a real book. Chapter 1, Chapter 23, Chapter 29… sounds like it goes on for a while. I don’t know if I could keep up with all them chapters. My eyes ain’t what they used to be. But someone told me you can download them, whatever that means.
- Chapter 1, somethin’ about a puzzle, I bet.
- Chapter 23, they talk about an apple thief. Hope they catch him! Stealin’ apples, tsk tsk.
- Chapter 29, it says “showtime.” Sounds excitin’. Maybe they gonna have a pie-eatin’ contest. I love pie.
They say comics are popular now. Everyone’s readin’ ’em. Guess folks like the pictures and the stories. This Enki’s Puzzle, it’s probably one of them popular ones. Lots of folks talkin’ about it, I hear. I don’t know who Enki is but his puzzle is sure makin’ waves.
It also says somethin’ about all the characters bein’ 18 or older. Well, that’s good, I reckon. Don’t want no little kids readin’ stories that ain’t meant for ’em. Although, back in my day, we read all kinds of things, and we turned out just fine. At least, I think we did.
This here Enki’s Puzzle Comic, it sounds like a real head-scratcher. Maybe I’ll ask my grandson to read it to me sometime. He’s good at explainin’ things. Or maybe I won’t. Sometimes, it’s nice just to sit and not think about no puzzles or gods or glowin’ cubes. Just sit and watch the birds, maybe have a cup of coffee. Yep, that’s the life.
There is also a woman in the comic, somethin’ about her skirt. This Nick fella, he lifted her skirt. Tsk, tsk, that ain’t very polite, liftin’ a lady’s skirt like that. I don’t know what today’s young people are comin’ to. No manners, no respect. I tell ya what, that wouldn’t have flown back in my day, no sir. We had some decency back then.
Someone also said somethin’ about 33 chapters. Thirty-three! That’s a lot of chapters for a comic. I remember them old radio shows, they had lots of episodes, but 33 chapters? That’s just a bit much, ain’t it? I bet most of them chapters are just filler, anyway. Just drawin’ it out, tryin’ to keep folks interested. Back in my day, we liked things short and sweet. Get to the point, I say! Don’t be draggin’ things out.
This whole Enki’s Puzzle Comic thing, it’s got me thinkin’. Maybe I should try readin’ one of them comics. See what all the fuss is about. But then again, maybe I won’t. I got enough puzzles in my life already, tryin’ to figure out these newfangled contraptions they call “smartphones” and “the internet”. Don’t need no more puzzles, thank you very much. I will just stick to my garden and my chickens. They don’t give me no puzzles, just eggs and the occasional peck on the hand. And that’s just fine by me. Yeah, that’s just fine.
