It was the year 2046. In the distant and faraway planet or Yr lived a lonely alien named Ickapoo. It had no friends as all its species had been vanquished from a meteor storm. In its solitude and misery it pined for a companion.
Yr was a bare and inhospitable planet. With winds blowing at 150 km an hour, it was virtually impossible to see past the blizzard and storm. Ickapoo yearned for friends and company. Many a time he fiddled with his transistor radio, sending out messages and hoping for a response. He sent fire launchers and rockets into space, hoping that some space traveler would find out about his existence. Ickapoo was an alienated alien. In the same way humans wondered whether we were the only species to inhabit the universe, Ickapoo felt estranged and isolated from the rest of the cosmos.  Join Ickapoo on his escapades across galaxies and worlds in search of company.

Ickapoo the lonely Alien, 2046

 Ickapoo finds grounding when he relates to a real human rather than a glamorized fantasy.


 In Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, television destroys authentic relationships.The Thanatoids spend their time watching television incessantly and imitate television models in Celebrity Roast. They model their behavior after television shows as Hector Zuniga never stops talking about the family he wanted to create in I Love Lucy with his former wife Debbi and Debbi named the television set as a correspondent in the divorce. Television mediates and alienates the characters in Vineland. A friend of Frenesi’s son Justin says that dealing with television is easy:” Pretend there’s a frame around ‘em like the Tube, pretend they’re a show you are watching. You can go into it if you want, or you can watch and not go into it.” (Vineland 351) This mediation extends into even family when Sasha trying to reunite Prairie with Frenesi insists their grandchild sings the theme song from Gilligan’s Island.
