Microscopic Mysteries (1932)

Of all the billions of people known to reside . . .

[8/10 · 13 January 2019]

. . . on Planet Earth, MICROSCOPIC MYSTERIES mentions just ONE of them by name: "Clark Gable." Otherwise known as would-be Confederate blockade runner "Rhett Butler," Mr. G. proved himself to be no clean-cut "Clark Kent." The overwrought narrator of MICROSCOPIC MYSTERIES must be near-sighted, since he refers to this "Lost Cause" in the context of The Crickets. Rhett was no "Big Bopper," let alone a "Buddy Holley." NOBODY "drove their Chevy to the levee" the day that this MISFIT died. However, just because he sported ears somewhere between an insect's and DUMBO's does NOT give a deluded commentator the right to demean crickets so cavalierly. It's bad enough that folks are covering these Brothers of Jiminy with chocolate and chowing them down. (Though at least this is better for the environment than gorging on Whoppers and McNuggets!) However, to associate Nature's tiniest chorus boys with lazy Racist traitors is totally uncalled for on the part of MICROSCOPIC MYSTERIES!
