What Is Best In Life?

Conan would say :

 "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."

The Conan fan in me appreciates that, but I respectfully submit an alternative.

It's having a great sidekick.

This month I published an omnibus of my House of Entropy stories and honestly, within the three novels are three of the all time great sidekicks.

M.I.K.I, the Modular Integrated Kinetic Intelligence that accompanies Buck Rogers and Wilma Deering on their space-faring adventure in The Metropolis of Mongo is the perfect combination of loyalty and sass.

 
Of course there's a B-D-B-D-B-D gag!

 

Penny, the psychic pentapus who accompanies Crash Corrigan on his gladiatorial quest on The Marine Moon of Mongo is the ideal mix of sarcastic big sister and capable ally.

That's PENTApus. I only have five arms!

 

Woola, the Barsoomian calot who is John Carter's loyal companion against The Martian Monsters of Mongo is part faithful hound, part best friend and as wonderful to read about as he was to write.

You think you know slobber-monster? Meet Woola.
