BONUS: The Garden of God’s Retirement

Published September 13, 2026

So, turns out our horny —sorry, “horned” — romantic Pluto has siblings. And like all siblings, they’re annoying, disruptive, omniscientish, and likely to go darting off through space at something approaching light speed just to show off in front of YOUR girlfriend. Ok, those last two might apply more to Pluto’s sibs than yours. Whatever the case, they hog all the ambrosia, snap your privates with a lightning bolt when you least expect it … yeah, I hear it, that might be more Pluto’s sibs than yours too, but you get my point — annoying.

And like all siblings, they expect all the plebes to worship the very ground they walk on. Even if that ground was the plebes’ to start with.

In this fabulous bonus episode penned by our own Pete Barry (we love that guy, even if we want to drown Bob in his own earwax), Pluto of the honey-covered voice and words returns to sweep Donna off on the kind of impromptu vacay that requires super powers and membership in the Valhalla of Fame.

But their romantic sojourn is interrupted by Pluto’s siblings, and things, rather like this description, unravel from there.
