Son of Storytime the Younger says about ST #s 126-127 (Dr. Strange):

[Interviewer: What did you think about these two issues?]

[Spouse:] The Dusty Dormammu!

[Interviewer: Shh! Shh!]

[Spouse:]
The Devilish Dormammu!

[Interviewer: C'mon! You've already had your turn.]

[Son the Younger:]
You know what's confusing? You know the guy that grows up with your attack? He looks kind of like Iron Man.

[Interviewer: Yeah, with the old yellow armor? He did. What did you think of the first issue, where he's, like, fighting all those guys?]

***Son the Younger spends a solid 30 seconds rolling eyes back and forth, up and down, like a ventriloquist's doll***

[Interviewer: You're a very odd boy. . . . Anything you want to say about this issue? Or either issue? Did you like the art, where he's going through the weird dimensions, with the strange trails, and the doors leading to nowhere, and the hands grabbing you from thin air below, and--

[Spouse:]
That's a leading question!

[Interviewer: Well, I thought it was cool and…]


[Spouse:] You're just soliciting a particular answer!

[Interviewer: But it was SO COOL! I can't help it! It's like, being really cool here! The coolest Steve Ditko art ever! Anyway, what did you think of the ending? When the Mindless Ones attacked, should Dr. Strange just have let them all die and leave?]

[Spouse, whispering in Son the Younger's ear:]
Say yes.

[Son the Younger:]
Yes.

[Interviewer: Now you're just giving him answers! Really, what do you think? Now that he's still alive, Dormammu might try to find a loophole and attack the Earth anyway. Dr. Strange must have known that saving them meant he might have to deal with him again. If he had just let them all die, Earth would have been totally safe from Dormammu.]

[Spouse:]
Yeah, but I think you could make the same argument about the end of the First Gulf War. You know, like, it's good to leave the ruler in place. If he's gone, chaos will break out, and you know, there are other threats that could come. At least he presents a stable kingdom.

[Interviewer: So. "Stability"? I see.]

[Spouse:]
You could say he still presents a threat, but--

[Interviewer: The Dark Dimension is admittedly non-democratic, but it's what you'd call a "stable, moderate regime"?]

[Spouse:] Yeah. And Dr. Strange has defeated him once, so, it's better than the unrest that might have occurred, because Dormammu, he really knows how to put the opposition in a box.

[Interviewer: I'll say]

[Interviewer, back, finally, to Son the Younger: So, was it good idea to save Dormammu, even though he might try to attack Earth again later?]

***Spouse whispers again in Son the Younger's ear***

[Son the Younger:]
DOPEY Dormammu!

[Inteviewer: No, stop it, Mommy… Really, should he have let him live?]

***Spouse whispers yet again in Son the Younger's ear***

[Son the Younger:]
DUMMY Dormammu!

[Interviewer: Mommy, I'm going to send you away…]

[Son the Younger:] It was a good idea, because why there were monsters, and when they do battle, it's going to mess up the state.

[Interviewer: So you're saying the Mindless Ones would have eventually posed a threat to Earth, too?]

Yeah.

[Interviewer: So Dr. Strange saved Dormammu so the Mindless Ones wouldn't eventually attack Earth?]

Yeah.

[Spouse:]
Good answer.

[Interviewer: Did you like Dormammu as a villain?]

[Son the Elder:]
DOPEY Dormammu!

[Interviewer: No, seriously…]

[Son the Younger:]
I liked the STINKY FARTY Dormammu!

[Interviewer: No, seriously, did you like him as a villain?]

Yeah. Because why he was so STINKY!

[Interviewer: Oh, that doesn't even begin with a "D"!]

[Son the Elder:]
Why does Dormammu get mentioned in the name if he's so evil? Like, "By the thing of Dormammu…"

[Interviewer: Oh, why does Dr. Strange call upon his power if he's in fact evil? Maybe if you're doing Black Magic, you've got to call upon the good guys and the bad guys for power.]

[Spouse:] Do you think he'll call upon him now?

[Son the Elder:] No! Because Dormammu would attack him!

[Son the Younger:] I just want to say one more thing.

[Interviewer: Go ahead.]

STINKY FARTY Dor--

[Interviewer: Great. Good night!]
