Why this must be read:

It's hard to put Cecil into words. Describing him just never seems to do him justice. There is still really only one thing Carlos is willing to say with any certainty about the way Cecil looks, and it isn't something you say in polite company. But it is undeniably, scientifically true:

Cecil has two dicks.

Sam is a witty and prolific writer, and I’m pleased that I can rec one of his works this month, especially since it contains dialogue like Carlos’s reassurance to Cecil:

"Well, it’s unusual, certainly, but it’s not like I came to Night Vale for its vibrant music scene," Carlos said.

Cecil’s mid-coital monolgue:

“I love your skin,” Cecil was saying, still muffled by Carlos’s shoulder. “Your hair and your teeth and your stupid perfect square jaw and your science and your ass, your ass is spectacular, like some kind of ancient unknowable statue of a really nice ass -- ”

and the reaction of Earl Harlan and his Boy Scouts to Carlos:

"Hey look everyone, it's the outsider!" he said cheerfully.

"Shun the outsider," the kids said in unison.
