Summary:
Born in Alabama in 1968, James Marshall was a highly imaginative and
introspective child blessed with a pronounced sense of confusion.
Unable to read, he quickly took to television, absorbing endless
hours of cartoons and science fiction programming and refusing to
play with other children in the neighborhood. By the age of five, he
was a TV addict and unhappy with the prospect of attending
kindergarten. Afraid of interacting with other children, the name
Dalek came to beborrowed from his favorite British science fiction
program, "Dr. Who"as a shield to hide behind. Its hard to say how
Dalek got to where he is today. He really doesnt like to talk about
it. So whats left? What are Space Monkeys? Where are they from? Are
they born alive, or are they incubated in egg-like vessels? Why do
they smirk at us as if they know something we dont? Why do they
always march to the left? Is there a mother ship calling? Are their
hearts situated on the left side of their bodies like ours? We can
only guess. Even when they are suffering from what would be moments
of human weaknesslike a hole in the head or a recently amputated
limbthey continue to smile and stare, assuring their control of the
moment. They stare at us with one large orb of an eye, unintimidated
and steadfast in their mission. The eye of the Space Monkey can
threaten like a cocked and steadied gunit can insult you without
warning, or invite you into a happy, carefree world. In Sonic Order
of Happiness, Daleks second monograph, we are once again whisked
far, far away, to a place where Space Monkeys reign.
