The Fat Little Nothing

Cosmic heroes don’t come any more blase’ than Herbie Popnecker. Dismissed as a “fat little nothing” by his father, Pincus, Herbie’s lifelong addiction to seemingly mystic lollipops has made him easily one of the most powerful entities in the universe. Galactus – Ha! Superman – Don’t make him laugh! (Well, he wouldn’t laugh, of course, but don’t even try). Herbie always seems to sleeping, and even when awake he’s half asleep. That probably makes him a powerful dreamer, in the vein of Randolph Carter, who either inhabits his own world of dreams or is able to impose his fancies on the world around him.

  1. Yeah – I guess my bag has been empty lately. I usually throw those out when I've accumulated some good random pictures, but I haven't seen any lately.
