Tobias/Torfis Talk 1: the Last Meal--Issue #11
The Last Meal
THE FOLLOWING IS A RECORDING OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TOBIAS HROTHGAR AND TORFIS TEFFLEMAN, THE TWO FAMOUS AUTHORS. EVERYTHING HERE WAS COMPLETELY UNSCRIPTED
BEGINNING OF RECORDING
Tobias Hrothgar: When I was a boy I found out how to travel through the space-time continuum. Of course, my parents didn’t let me do it much, but they didn’t know it’s not actually all that dangerous if you know how to tie a roper to follow back to your time.
Torfis Teffleman: Very funny Hrothgar. I don’t believe you. Give me proof.
Tobias Hrothgar: You die from drowning in mashed potatoes.
Torfis Teffleman: No way. How does that even happen?
Tobias Hrothgar: You sacrificed yourself in order for Karl to make it past with his walker.
Torfis Teffleman: Past what?
Tobias Hrothgar: The broken mashed potato making machine. You inhaled all the potatoes to keep Karl safe.
Torfis Teffleman: Why would he need to be safe from potatoes?
Tobias Hrothgar: Well, Karl didn’t want to drown.
Torfis Teffleman: Drown? Drown in what?
Tobias Hrothgar: In mashed potatoes.
Torfis Teffleman: But the mashed potato machine was broken!
Tobias Hrothgar: Yes it was. Sames broke it because he was trying to speed it up, because he was hungry.
Torfis Teffleman: But if it’s broken then how does it keep working?
Tobias Hrothgar: By broken I mean it doesn’t stop dispensing mashed potatoes.
Torfis Teffleman: Oh. Why did he want to get past?
Tobias Hrothgar: Because the ice cream truck had arrived. And they were selling a new flavor.
