Selby Spacedog (1996)
Selby Spacedog
“It was true. In his short lifetime he’d been squeezed by a huge boa constrictor, pulled up into the air by a rocket, nearly shredded by a weed-shredding robot, trapped in a cave, fallen into a toilet, and Tina the Two-Tooth Tiger had come very close to eating him for lunch.
