cosmic friends by jimmy goddard
DESCRIPTION
"My communications with extraterrestrials probably began before I realised it, for I have always been attracted to and interested in the idea of space travel."These are the opening words of Cosmic Friends, an undated twelve-page pamphlet by Jimmy Goddard. I was sent a copy in the latter part of the last century by a correspondent, who described it to me as “a work of comic genius”. As indeed it is, being a masterpiece of that particularly poignant kind where the comedy is unintended. “Mr Pooter Talks To The Space People” could be an apposite subtitle.
