Skippyyyyy, Skippyyyyy

We sponsored an episode of one of our favorite podcasts, Read It and Weep (www.read-weep.com), and asked those lovely Seattlanian improv comics to mock 12 episodes of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, the Australian Lassie show from the 60s that has become a bottomless reservoir of lulz for us.

Marvel as base humans (synonymous with Australians, of course) fail to recognize that perhaps a pet kangaroo that can solve absolutely every problem that pops up to plague us and perform acts that we sweaty apes can only bungle is a supernatural agent, a demigod and messiah born to rescue us with any number of morphine syringes and rusty bolts from her indestructible pouch.

The following is an image of Skippy hopping across a body of water, possibly to evade poachers, possibly to save a person from drowning, possibly to declare to the world that the Age of Skippy Supremacy is nigh.
