In an astonishing sweep of pageantry, the metacartoonist portrays the titanic clash between Arctic and Soviet archetypes, in the process
illuminating the clash between the inane and the insane in the workaday world. Moreover, the episode is snatched from the brink of
resolution with a swift and cunning allusion to one of pop culture's deepest myths. And nothing ... could ever be the same.
