Summary
Everything at carnival Earth is run by Carny who only cares about fun and a good show. Performers include Paul Bunyan, Buffalo Bill, John Henry, Robert Fulton and Faustus who will sell you anything-- from the Big Bomb to a cure for dandruff! Endangered species are mowed down at The Shooting Gallery and the Redwood Forests can be lost at the Wheel of Fortune. Other characters include the speedway Devil Driver, the Rotten Roll Band, Filthy Flora whose ectocyst act will surprise you, and the one who knows all-- Miriam the Mentalist. All perform and pollute the earth, but it's done with crazy comedy and famous music. Who cares about tomorrow!? Ask the kid who comes to the carnival.
