Excerpted from Buck Godot - Zap Gun Fore Hire, volume 1 Introduction:
The latter part of the Twentieth Century was to become known as "The Long Wait" because that is what everybody seemed to be doing..... ... The threat of nuclear war, the steady destruction of the ecosystem, the failure of world economy, the rise of illiteracy and superstition, massive starvation, fear and mistrust of the government, and the lack of a really good- tasting diet soda, seemed to indicate that even if anybody managed to survive the coming Apocalypse, they'd have a pretty rotten time of it.
