People Are Strange Shorts

Jim Morrison was the epitome of strange. In fact, he was the Lizard KING of strange!! Named in honor of Jim’s lyric legacy, this threesome of puzzling exposés will have you scratching your head, your hands, your face, your…(stop scratching that!!) And what’s really strange is that you’ll probably recognize yourself in some of these characters, which is when you’ll want to head for the desert with a big bag of peyote and a bottle of Jack. Oh, wait. That’s me, not you.

Never mind. Enjoy the show!!

Because only this way, the story can finally become a good story.
