Dark Future (novel)/YMMV

• Complete Monster: Dr. Ottokar Proctor may very well be an Affably Evil opera buff, a genius economist and have several written fascinating papers on the sociological themes displayed by Looney Tunes characters...but he killed over 600 people (that we know about) and displays absolutely no sense of remorse for this.
• Freud Was Right: Gavin Mantle's ludicrous new house after he wins the lottery in Comeback Tour. It's shaped like breasts. And his Rolls Royce, which was shaped like a penis.
• Tear Jerker: When Dr. Threadneedle dies in Dead Rat, he and Krokodil exchange a final farewell as he councils her against losing her humanity and remaining in touch with her emotions.

Threadneedle "You're crying, that's good."
Jessamyn put a hand to her face. There was moisture around the optic. "Biofluid."
Threadneedle "No, I gave you back your tearducts when I put the new model in...Let this be a lesson to you...You are not invincible. Goodbye, Jessamyn."
