The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, lay in a crumpled heap on the floor of the Battle Beyond the Stars exhibit in the Museum of Schlock.

The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, and myself were traipsing through the upper floors of the Museum of Schlock.

The Revenging Manta and I were stumbling around in the dark of the Spookies exhibit in the Museum of Schlock. Funny enough. This exhibit was left mostly intact.

The Curator of Schlock #411: Skinamarink
The Curator of Schlock #411 by Jeff Shuster Skinamarink Skiddy-Mer-Rink-A-Doo The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, fitted me with a kevlar vest because we were going back to the Museum of Schlock to clean house.

The Curator of Schlock #409: Splice
The Curator of Schlock #409 by Jeff Shuster Splice Scientists are stupid. After a hearty breakfast of Honey Nut Cheerios and skim milk, the Revenging Manta handed me a gas mask. He then brought forth one grinding bowl filled with fentanyl pills, the pills we had stolen the night before after the ninja vigilante slaughtered… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #403: Bloody New Year
The Curator of Schlock #403 by Jeff Shuster Bloody New Year Not so happy. After wading through ten miles of disgusting sewer water, the Revenging Manta and I opened a manhole to the surface.
