Star Time #183: Dragon Fly
This week's show is another one of our dependable, utilitarian forays into the Star Time Sweet Spot, loosely defined as the era in which the discriminating fans of this show receive their biggest returns on investment. That is approximately 1966 to 1975, with some wiggle room either way. The photo accompanying this show, by the way, is an extreme closeup of a dragon fly wing with some random linear manipulations by yours truly. It's no great shakes, but it's more effort than I usually go to when choosing imagery for the show.
