BIG STUPE: The Gift That Had The Whole Crew Laughing | #MidnightInTheMacabre

On Waterfield's planet, the mining ship's psychologist dresses up as a jeweled king to impress the local chieftain, and the chief sends back a gift: a seven-foot, bowling-pin-shaped creature that puffs out its chest, burps like a braying donkey, and falls for the same practical joke over and over. The crew names him Big Stupe and can't stop laughing, while the man in the crown works hard to make sure the natives respect the Earthmen. SOURCES and RESOURCES: “Big Stupe” by Charles V.
