Mars Cafe #57: "Extended Vacation"

The immediate follow-up to "Stultus Festus"... The heroes of Cabeza Policia now have the corpse of General Wang Ding Bao to deal with!

Everything goes to shit after this.

Original 2022 synopsis:

The "storm of two centuries" seems to have abated, but an unexpected Christmas visit has resulted in a firearm being "accidentally" discharged, and now Emory Bunny has a lovely corpse to deal with!

Join the laughter and Yuletide fun as the good men of the Cabeza Policia Forza scramble to cover-up the murder of a high-ranking Martian official!

Space-Byron is so hanged-over that his head won't sit in its cradle; Pedro Serrano finds a tubano drum in his stocking; Mr. Ticklepatty has a stain on his face and a fancy new adornment for his dingaling; Sheriff Bill is in the mood for a campfire; Cumbot is excited for Christmas presents; Emory can't hold his fluids in; General Wang Ding Bao laments his secret homelessness (and alcoholism) as he settles in for a long, long, long winter's nap...

A nice, brief episode for everyone who's too busy with their Christmas shopping to pay much attention to a stupid cartoon show...

Is this just leftover footage from the previous episode ("Stultus Festus"), or is it truly something new and special? (Sssshhh. This crusty ol' pee-pants Santa will never tell.)

Mystery and Intrigue abound, as usual!

This episode of The Mars Cafe Cartoon Show has already been nominated for a Golden Globe award, plus a Peabody, a Juno, a Tony, and six Emmys, and it hasn't even been posted on the Internet-YouTube yet. Wow!
