Idiot Box - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - July 13th

The sight which greeted Napoleon Solo, as he stepped into his partner’s apartment, was not one he had been expecting.

“When did you get that?” he demanded, pointing at the new arrival. “You said they were an unnecessary distraction, and that you preferred books.”

“Three weeks ago,” Illya replied. “As I am living in this country, I thought a television would be a quick way of learning about it.”

“So it has nothing to do with Tom and Jerry then?” Solo asked, with a voice full of innocence.

“Not at all,” Illya replied.

His blush, however, told a different story.

Of course nothing to do with Tom and Jerry, but the coyote and the roadrunner?

He'd probably love Wile E. Coyote because of all the explosions :-)

That's adorable. I love a man who enjoys cartoons.

I think that a man who loves cartoons has innocence in his soul :-)

Thanks for this charming drabble. And a weakness for Tom and Jerry seems quite likely. I rather wonder if Napoleon, too, just happened to be near the tv at the right time.

I wouldn't be surprised :-)

Illya does love his cartoons doesn't he? Excellent and love the title. I haven't heard "Idiot Box" since I was a kid. lol!

Let us not forget comic books too...esp. science fiction ones...remember on the show how hard it was to put that comic book down?

That's true. He skipped on to the end to see what would happen :-)

I think if he had the time, he would have read the whole thing! lol!
