The Story of A Lonely Dalek

This is the story of the Lonely Dalek. He was lonely because all the other Daleks thought he was inferior. They thought he was inferior just because he was larger than every other Dalek.

Then one day (in a bit of name-based confusion) he visited the human celebration known as Burning Man. He spent the whole day making wonderful new friends. None of his new friends thought that he was inferior.

It all made him so happy that he exterminated every last man, woman, and child in attendance.

(Thanks, Mark!)

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
