Dr. Leafhead: Story of a Mad Scientist
Part 1: Red Cape Man and the Purple-Robed Freak
What Is a Dr. Leafhead?
Dr. Voracious K. Leafhead was not just another mad scientist. Granted, he was mad. Also he was a scientist. It's just that he was probably madder and more scientific than anyone who had ever been given such a label.
Since birth Dr. Leafhead was obsessively interested in scientific knowledge. There was a time when his brain was unable to observe or communicate about anything in life outside of the context of science without developing a slight headache. Sometimes when he tried to read any sort of pulp novel he first had to have all the words translated into whatever algebraic equations were thought to be best suited for the author's intended emotional response. In restaurants he occasionally ordered elaborate dishes by listing off all the chemical and hardest-to-pronounce ingredients in order of their relative weight when processed through a Dark-Matter Cube. Every motion, from the dribbling of a basketball to the crawl of an earthworm was to him a kaleidoscope of physics that appeared like charts and graphs of impossible angles darting across his field of vision. Some say his eyes actually contained computer implants that indeed converted all sights into charts and graphs of impossible angles.
Some say he went too far. I wouldn't say that.
Like all great mad scientists, Dr. Leafhead was also a great inventor. Within the confines of Chateau Leafhead (the sprawling, secluded mansion that we will invariably arrive at in short time), were a number of extraordinary discoveries.
