GULLIVAR JONES ON MARS aka Lt. Gullivar Jones – His Vacation and various other titles and spellings, was published in 1905 and is one VERY odd piece of work. The author was Edwin L. Arnold, whose ineptitude made this novel very unfulfilling as he defeated his storyline at every turn. Before I get into this third and final part of my review of Gullivar Jones on Mars the links to the first two parts are below:
PART ONE – I examined the low-profile feud between fans of Edwin L. Arnold, who maintain that many elements of this novel “influenced” (to say the least) Edgar Rice Burroughs’ later stories about John Carter of Mars, and Burroughs fans. The parallels are many, and I laid them out while also pulling in Arnold’s novel Phra the Phoenician. Click HERE.
PART TWO – I reviewed the first half of Gullivar Jones on Mars, complete with what revisions I would make to correct the way Edwin L. Arnold never failed to sabotage his own work, letting intriguing concepts die on the vine or letting rising tension peter out into lame anticlimax. It’s almost comical how he did that. Click HERE.

MORNING ON THE ISLE OF BEASTS – We pick up the morning after our hero, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Gullivar Jones, survived the night on the Isle of Beasts – my name for the place, since Edwin couldn’t be bothered to provide names for places or characters much of the time. Continue reading
Truly delusional people continue to prove how little they understand about how our own political system works, given their hysterical, unhinged rantings about President Donald Trump. It’s an appropriate time to remember SANE Trump critic Dr. Gad Saad’s 
Saad is an authority on Behavioral Science and Evolutionary Psychology as well as the author of a column in Psychology Today. Below is a link to the entire interview but first some more excerpts from Dr. Saad: 
PARTNERS IN CRIME (1984) – To note the passing of Loni Anderson here’s a Forgotten Television look at the detective series in which she co-starred with Lynda Carter. Both ladies had been married at one time to a private detective named Raymond Dashiell Caulfield. 
Loni played Sydney Kovack, a streetwise woman who grew up in San Francisco pulling minor hustles here and there with her con-man father. Ultimately, she went straight and became a professional cellist and bass player.

YANKEE BUCCANEER (1952) – An enjoyable movie but one which throws history out the window in the mind-boggling way that only Hollywood could manage! The real-life American naval heroes David Porter (Jeff Chandler) and David Farragut (Scott Brady) are presented fighting Caribbean pirates during the early 1820s. 
Our heroes become romantic rivals for Countess Margarita La Raguna (Suzan Ball, Lucille’s cousin) as the movie ignores the fascinating REAL relationships between the Porter and Farragut families. Still, Yankee Buccaneer is fun, and naturally the good guys win. David Janssen, Michael Ansara and Tonto himself, Jay Silverheels, co-star. 86 minutes.
