As with so many things heard on Coast to Coast AM, determining the accuracy of his theories is left as an exercise for the listener. In case you need a crib sheet, Wired ran a pretty good article a few years ago that offers a more balanced view of Adams’ theories.
Whether you agree with Adams’ theories regarding the Earth, you have to give him credit as one of the finest comic book artists of his generation. Click the image to the left to get a full size look at another Adams classic.
