Johnny Gizmo - Cat Puke Thursday

They didn't call them 'nerds' in the 1930's but that doesn't mean they weren't around. Johnny Gismond a.k.a. Johnny Gizmo was one of them. Johnny has been tinkering with his comic book inspired inventions since he was a kid, but it's the depression and he can't catch a break. He does have a job at a radio station and that is something, but his dreams are on hold. Then one dreary Thursday, the day starts off bad and then gets worse. When Johnny brags to a pretty reporter who is desperate for a story his life changes forever. She publishes an article about all of his marvelous inventions, which are nothing more than pipe dreams. He sort-of forgot to tell her they were only mock ups and half working failures. But as coincidence would have it, her story about his homemade death rays and wrist radios comes out on the very day Earth is first visited by aliens. Now everyone looks to Johnny to use his amazing inventions to protect earth. Can he survive the Feds, the Fascists, the lady from press, and actually help the Earth; or will they find out he's a lying fraud? Find out in this action packed story straight from a 1930's that should've been.
