Omni – Flipper, Washed Up

This was Terry’s favorite, profiling has-been animal actor Flipper — now a joke in the Hollywood community. He anticipated Bojack Horseman by 25 years.

Omni – The Immortal Bud Carter

Omni – Whale Hating

One of Terry’s favorite opening sentences: “Sitting there, bound to a crude wooden chair by leather straps, I began to question the career choice I had made so many years before.”

“Deane suffered from an affliction more common than measles, more deadly than bubonic plague, more stupefying than a subscription to Reader’s Digest. Deane was in love.”

Omni – Lost Shopping Mall of Gold

“Here we have evidence that centuries before we ever thought of such things, the Mayans had built this mall, conveniently located and with plenty of free parking.”
