In His Pocket

Perswayssick Radio: Unearthly Comedy

“In His Pocket,” Episode 19

Nicki recalls during a special therapy session when, due to extreme dimension burn, she first shrank to the size of a matchstick and ended up living in zany alien canine-humanoid Gneeecey’s debris-filled T-shirt pocket.

In part two, Gneeecey emerges from Grandma's closet after having eavesdropped on the distressed but thankfully normal-sized Nicki’s session with therapist Ingabore Scriblig, AKA, Grandma, and neurologist, Doctor Idnas. And Nicki decides to teach Gneeecey a lesson.

Floating in Ice Crystals

Perswayssick Radio: Unearthly Comedy

“Floating in Ice Crystals,” Episode 14

After fleeing from Perswayssick County’s murderous alien Markmen, Nicki and Gneeecey find themselves trapped in a celestial no man’s land—a surreal, freezing dimension with no up or down or end in sight. Floating helplessly in the ice crystal-populated haze, the two argue.

When the Markmen tried to kill the two of them, a desperate Gneeecey had shouted four magical words he believed would transport himself to Earth and safety. Because Gneeecey was clinging to Nicki when he uttered those words, she believes that they’ve ended up stranded in some intermediate zone. (You’re never supposed to speak those words aloud unless you’re alone.)

Gneeecey wonders if he and Nicki are dead. Nicki and Gneeecey debate whether they are in the hereafter or the whereafter.

An exasperated Nicki demands answers from Gneeecey. Why did he almost get them killed? An unrepentant, greedy Gneeecey finally comes clean, letting an astounded Nicki in on his zany, multifaceted plans for her, himself, his Planet Eccchs citizens, and the Markmen.

Nicki’s leg, slashed by Blond Big-nosed Mark, begins bleeding profusely. Gneeecey empties cash from stuffed bear Yammicles into his T-shirt pocket. He ties the limp teddy around Nicki’s limb, stopping the hemorrhaging.

Nicki advises Gneeecey that they must make a decision—they can’t keep hovering in frigid space. They’ll have to chance saying those four all-powerful words, having no idea whether they will end up in Perswayssick County or Earth...or worse....

A ferocious force separates Nicki and Gneeecey, flinging them in opposite directions. Gneeecey disappears from Nicki’s sight.

One Mo' Thang

Perswayssick Radio: Unearthly Comedy

“One Mo’ Thang,” Episode 17

Nicki has shrunk to the size of a matchstick due to extreme dimension burn caused by her travels between Earth and Gneeecey’s wacky Perswayssick County. She finds herself living inside the canine-humanoid’s debris-filled T-shirt pocket—not a pleasant place.

Gneeecey quarrels with his double, Ebegneeezer Gesundheit Eeeceygnay. The nasty, more sophisticated canine-humanoid had unintentionally transferred himself from his Planet HyenaZitania to Perswayssick County and is staying with Gneeecey until he can return to the double-sunned planet he rules.

Inside Gneeecey’s T-shirt pocket, a spindly green grinning spider shows up, and Nicki’s life flashes before her. Then, one of the commuter jet-like insects that plague Perswayssick County—bugs that have mutated as a natural defense to appear to be high-flying planes—swoops into the picture. What would just be a pesky mosquito-like bite for a normal-sized human could prove fatal for someone Nicki’s size. She grabs a cracked wooden toothpick to defend herself.

The buzzing, living airplane attacks the arachnid. A vividly colored bloodbath ensues. Shaken, arm bleeding, Nicki scrambles inside an envelope.

Evil alien Markman gangster Blond Big-nosed Mark shows up. Gneeecey owes these creeps money. Lots of it. The Markman informs Gneeecey that boss Bob is demanding a “down payment.” Gneeecey reaches into his pocket and hands Blond Big-nosed Mark an envelope containing a thousand-dollar bill—and Nicki.

Not Now, I'm Watchin' Oprah

Perswayssick Radio: Unearthly Comedy

“Not Now, I’m Watchin’ Oprah,” Episode 16

In this recollection, Nicki discovers that she possesses strange new powers after zany canine-humanoid Gneeecey invades her dimension—and her basement apartment.

Ever since Nicki’s escape back to Earth from Gneeecey’s unearthly Perswayssick County, she’s been struggling to adjust to her old life. All goes from bad to worse when white-and-black furred Perswayssick County leader Gneeecey announces that he’s staying with her until his dimension burn clears up. After creating havoc in Nicki’s home, he gets her into big trouble with radio station boss Bill Fernández without even really trying.

As if things couldn’t deteriorate further, a luminous pair of lime-green eyeballs float past Nicki’s face, out of her production studio, and into the dimly lit corridor. Muffled laughter echoes in the hallway. Shaken to the core, Nicki realizes that the murderous alien gangster Markmen have followed Gneeecey to her dimension.

After many attempts, Nicki finally reaches Gneeecey by phone. After snarling that he’s busy watching an “Oprah” episode, the walking and talking Jack Russell dog slams the phone receiver down.

After the surfacing of this disturbing memory, Nicki, trapped in Perswayssick County again, decides to consult with Gneeecey’s therapist, Ingabore Scriblig, AKA, Grandma. Thanks to Gneeecey, that doesn’t go awfully well either.

Yellow Sneaker Laces

Perswayssick Radio: Unearthly Comedy

“Yellow Sneaker Laces,” Episode 15

As a thunderstorm rages, Nicki bursts into Gneeecey’s mansion, to warn him about what she overheard in Bob’s office. Angry that she’s interrupting his favorite television show, Gneeecey shoos her away. When he finally agrees to hear her, his evil, more sophisticated lookalike Ebegneeezer Gesundheit Eeeceygnay walks in. Ebegneeezer, leader of Planet HyenaZitania, had accidentally transferred himself to the dimension of Perswayssick County as Nicki and Gneeecey attempted to escape his clutches.

Nicki tells the two canine-humanoids that they are in grave danger.

As Nicki searches around in a tiny utility closet for a broom to sweep the trash out of her minuscule “guest room,” a thunderous noise rocks the mansion. Nicki is locked inside the unlit sardine can of a storage room—with company. Gneeecey, Ebegneeezer, and Gneeecey’s half-motorcycle-half-cat Klunkzill had scrambled in. The door cannot be unlocked from the inside. And it's not pleasant in there. Someone doesn’t smell good. And some warm liquid sprays Nicki’s ankles.

“Ain’t No Place Like Home,” Episode 18

Conflict...conflict...conflict. Nicki knew it would be a mistake to leave zany alien canine-humanoid Gneeecey alone in her basement apartment all day, but she had no choice. She had to go to work. And indeed, the hardworking young radio producer returns home to find that the walking and talking Jack Russell dog has created chaos and mayhem during her eight-hour absence. On the upside, Nicki discovers that she possesses some pretty unusual powers.

In part two, Nicki accompanies Gneeecey to his appointment with licensed therapist and veggie meatball shop owner Ingabore Scriblig, AKA, Grandma. Gneeecey had been such a handful during his last session that Grandma had to call for backup. Concerned about Gneeecey’s worsening Redecoritis—a neurological condition caused by exposure to Perswayssick County’s toxic, omnipresent manufacturing byproduct known as mierk—Grandma had called upon Gneeecey’s neurologist, Doctor Idnas. Unbeknownst to Gneeecey, Grandma and Doctor Idnas have teamed up to better help him.

Vicki, Nicki, Grandma, and even Gneeecey thank co-producer Sam Leviatin for his musical contribution to Gneeecey’s therapy segment.

Hypoopnotized

“Hypoopnotized,” Episode 13

Perswayssick County leader Gneeecey unexpectedly barges into NIcki's basement apartment at 3 a.m.

Since returning to her own world, Nicki has been dealing with dimension burn and is struggling with memory problems. Zany canine-humanoid Gneeecey informs Nicki that he is staying with her for a while. She replies that he cannot.

But, alas, he does. He sleeps, clutching his teddy bear Yammicles, in Nicki’s bottom dresser drawer.

Nicki sets her alarm clock an hour earlier than usual. She must get to her radio station early to complete work on a commercial. Gneeecey is already up. Nicki races to the bathroom. The tiles are plastered with wet toilet paper. Gneeecey says that according to the package, it was “bath tissue.” And he used the last roll.

Things go from bad to worse. Landlord Rico knocks on her door. Nicki begs Gneeecey to hide in the bedroom until she gives him the green light to return. Refusing, he calls out to Rico, “C’mon down!”

Amazingly, Rico sees walking, talking dog Gneeecey as being just another human. Gneeecey introduces himself as “Jack Russell” and tells Rico that he can come down anytime—he’ll be home. Rico tells a flabbergasted Nicki that Gneeecey can “hang out as long as he likes.”

When Nicki asks Gneeecey why Rico sees him as a “regular person” and not a dog, Gneeecey claims he “hypoopnotizes Earth people.”

Gneeecey doesn’t have any of his medications with him. Nicki warns Gneeecey that she expects to find the place exactly as it is when she returns home from work. He laughs.

Nicki, back in Perswayssick County, feels the need, after this, to talk to Gneeecey’s therapist “Grandma.”

“Ig’s Got a New Roomie,” Episode 12

Nicki, attempting to adjust to her old life on Earth, is thrown for a loop when Gneeecey unexpectedly barges into her basement apartment in the middle of the night. She hears loud banging on her door, which seems to open all by itself—and there he is.

Since returning to her own world, Nicki has been dealing with dimension burn, struggling to remember things. When the zany canine-humanoid shows up, memories come flooding back. Gneeecey accuses Nicki of stealing his teddy bear Yammicles, plus a thousand of his dollars. She suddenly panics, suddenly wondering if the evil alien gangsters chasing Gneeecey have followed him to her dimension. Back in Perswayssick County, the creeps tried to kill Nicki and Gneeecey several times.

Gneeecey informs Nicki that he too is suffering from dimension burn—indeed, his skin is purple beneath his grungy white fur—and he insists that he must stay with her for a while. She replies that he absolutely cannot.

Gneeecey also demands that Nicki decipher the secret codes he believes she has hidden away in a manuscript. This information would supposedly enable him and his fellow citizens stranded in Perswayssick County to travel back to their native Planet Eccchs. Nicki has no idea what he’s talking about.

The rude dog jumps into Nicki’s bed, makes himself all too comfortable, and notifies her that she will be sleeping on the floor.

Little does Nicki realize, she is in the process of discovering something new about herself.

Musical Trilogy (Merry Grimace!)

“Musical Trilogy (Merry Grimace!),” Episode 20

Come celebrate the holidays—or something like that—with Gneeecey and the gang! It’s their annual Grimace event, held before a live audience at the Perswayssick Civic Auditorium and simulcast on Gneeecey’s GAS TV Channel 31⁄2, and GAS-AM and FM radio.

Yes, it’s Grimace! We hang violet tinsel and glitter-sprayed dead rubber chickens everywhere, and we buy everyone on our gift lists purple rubber wallets—and copies of Gneeecey’s and Sooperflea’s new CD, “Plight of the Goonafish,” on sale for “Only twenny bucks” in the auditorium lobby!

Speaking of that, in this episode, violinist Gneeecey and pianist Soooperflea treat us to a sample of their CD’s title track. And Vicki Solá and Gneeecey’s “nervologist,” Dr. Idnas read three musical stories for delighted attendees—“The Piano,” “Zirbert Shriekensobb” (Planet Eccchs’s legendary composer), and “Tab ‘Scats’ O’Phone.”

The bash culminates in a spring-popping violin performance by Gneeecey.

Vicki, Nicki, Dr. Idnas, Autumn Raines, Grandma (all the way from Booolabeeezia, in the outskirts of Perswayssick County, where she’s celebrating Grimace), and even Gneeecey, thank you for listening! We thank Sam Leviatin for co-producing Gneeecey and Sooperflea’s “Plight of the Goonafish” performance.
