GLITCH AT CORNERSTONE THEATER PANEL 1 Mr. Matheson stands on the stage of Cornerstone theater as the lights flicker. He looks up confused. MR. MATHESON Those lights keep dimming... Ah, well. This is an old theater. Maybe I should check the wiring? PANEL 2 Nosloo is lurking in the light booth, twiddling the knobs with a mischievous grin, casting odd shadows on the walls. NOSLOO (thinking) Nothing like some flashing lights to start a good old-fashion dance party. PANEL 3 Mr. Matheson bursts into the control room.. MR. MATHESON Is somebody in here? PANEL 4 Nosloo dives behind the light board. NOSLOO (thinking) As far as you know, nope!

“Glitch at Cornerstone Theater” – Mr. Matheson’s Arithme-TIPS for December 4, 2024

Posted on December 4, 2024 by Everly Heights

Nosloo holds a very special place in my heart, in part because he's based on one of my favorite childhood shows, Alf.

I've always been a big fan of "we've got a secret" sitcoms like Alf, Bewitched, Harry and the Henderson, Small Wonder, and a dozen others. In fact, I wrote an audio essay about them as part of my old podcast Weird TV.

Nothing unites people like a secret, especially when that secret concerns somebody (or some alien from Melmac) the characters.audience care about. These are stories about doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. As somebody who has always kept his hopes and fears pretty close to his chest befire ti protect the ones he loves, I enjoy seeing the idea of righteous dishonesty played out in fictional spaces.

Come back tomorrow to see if Nosloo the Great remains a secret, or if Mr. Matheson will finally confront the Phantom of the Theater.

Latch on to learning!
