After two decades of trekking across Calendaria, Pilliard Dickle finally found what he was looking for - the gateway to the 21st Century.

And everybody was wanting in. But border guards were posted to keep out riffraff like the Daybreaker and other chronological scofflaws who wreaked havoc with time.

One guy tried camouflage - he plastered days all over his clothes so he'd be invisible. (You can see him sitting on the steps in December. Another enterprising Calendarian offered to shoot people out of a cannon and over the wall into the nextmillennium... for a small fee, of course. (See June.)

But the Daybreaker got in anyway. How? He knew a guy who sold masks of people who should have no problem going anywhere in Calendaria. He seriously considered a Gene Shalit mask - after all, that was the guy who helped make Calendaria famous back in a land called Reality. But after considerable deliberation, he ended up going with a Pilliard Dickle.

 


Hmmm... What is that yellow coffee-cup-shaped tower looming over the horizon?
