50: I Killed Adolf Hitler

For the fiftieth post, it might as well come back to Hitler...like always. So the conceit here is that this world is the same as ours except that instead of humans it's dogs. And time travel is possible. Just everything else is the same so you have no trouble just jumping into the narrative.

Now here's the saving part for a book that really doesn't need any saving...Hitler steals a time machine and goes into the future...to the present (within the books original timeline). He's still the famous Hitler (dog guy) so he can't expect to just walk around without attention. Kind distinctive looking guy (dog person). So simply cut the little whiskers off and change the hair. See...

Yeah, this really would seem to work. Not being ironic either (am required to point out the rare moments of gravitas). My brain is in no way capable of picturing Hitler without those touch points. I get those little sparklies, you know, from when your mind pushes itself too far.

You don't get those do you...crap it's the cancer isn't it. Yup, gonna end on a bad cancer joke.
