“Metron was Kirby’s avatar of ruthless, questing intellect, whose Mobius Chair twisted through time and space to make him the god of couch potatoes, surfing channels, gathering information, without ever leaving the comfort of his armchair.
Metron’s magic furniture seems less a wonder of supertechnology than a fact of daily life.
As Kirby tried to tell us in his book of the same name,
We are The New Gods,
just as We are The Old Ones, too.”
