Marvel Comics writer Peter David might like to work in Florida or where ever they still use the chair cause he always is fond of the “shocking” word. As for death devices, I was always partial to the Iron Maiden, and I ain’t talking about the band.
I’m looking for a copy of an old movie, “The Traveling Executioner”. Fellow drove around in a panel truck with a generator and a chair, renting out to the prisons in the South. Fell in love with an inmate convicted of killing her husband (in self defense, of course).
Somebody please show Cartoon-Boy to the Executioner. Gotta keep those skills sharp (as in guillotine-sharp) these days, went so many states have gone soft!

he should of said “It was a shock at first but now i’m getting the hang of it”
SusanSunshine Premium Member almost 6 years ago
I’d expect an executioner to be dead serious.
It’s exacting work…. when you hang someone, you can’t leave any loose ends.
I’d find it depressing… it’s the very definition of a dead-end job.
Even cleaning up after him isn’t something I’d like to undertake.
