Reginald Bretnorâs long-running âThrough Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghootâ series (or the Feghoots, as they are affectionately called) began in 1956 in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. They were published under by byline âGrendel Briartonââan anagram of âReginald Bretnorââand consisted of one- or two-page stories that made perfect sense and always ended in a horrible pun.
Of course, after Feghoot launched so spectacularly, Reginald Bretnorâs rising reputation as a punster had to be challenged by another of the science fiction fieldâs great punsters: Randall Garrett. Randy swiftly created a rival series featuring Benedict Breadfuit.
Enjoy these 13 pun-filled tales. No matter how much the puns hurt!
