Mr. B. Natur-AL
by Betsy Manning
This is the complete text with introduction, epilogue, epilady, full,
authentically semi-fake Latin/French translations of the Nostradamus bits.
While critics have argued its merits over the centuries, "Mr. B Natur-Al",
was, is and will all be, Betsy Manning's first fan fiction effort.
Detractors of the piece have call Mrs. Manning names, but she doesn't mind
too much because she's safely held in a lovely padded room with a view and a
comfy white straight jacket and really doesn't hear about the names she has
been called. This piece does however mark her slow and steady descent into
insanity which lead to her eventual demise; which is mandatory for all great
classic works of literature.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we of Dewey Cheatum and Howe proudly present this
Special Edition of "Mr. B Natur-Al" lovingly bound in genuine nagahyde to
match your favorite recliner.
The story behind the story is this:
"Mr. B Natural" was an advertisement in the not so clever guise of a
"mental hygiene" film. Mr. B was played by a woman a la Peter Pan by Mary
Martin. He/She popped into the life of an impressionable young man named
Buzz and convinced him that to be popular and accepted he had to take up an
instrument. Conveniently enough when Buzz and his parents go to the music
store, Mr. B is lurking there with a film about the creators of the film,
Conn Music. She shows this little piece of propaganda in a picture that
hangs on the wall in the music store. Buzz takes up the trumpet and soon
he's the star of every dance and occasion.
So naturally, I figured out that Mr. B Natural had visited Al when he was
too young to defend himself. It also follows that Mr. B was/is close
personal friends with Al's mentor, Dr. Demento. You see how it all fits
together?
