{{Quote|A Jeep is an animal living in a three dimensional world… in this case, our world; but really belonging to a fourth-dimensional world…. Here's what happened… a number of Jeep life-cells were somehow forced through the dimensional barrier into our world. They combined at a favorable time with free life cells of the African "Hooey Hound". The electrical vibrations of the Hooey Hound cell and the foreign cell were the same – they were kindred cells… in fact, all things are to some extent '''relative''' – whether they be of this or some other world…. Now you see — the extremely favorable conditions of germination in Africa caused a fusion of these life-cells – so the uniting of kindred cells caused a transmutation…. The result – a mysterious strange animal.|Prof. Brainstine}} | {{Quote|A Jeep is an animal living in a three dimensional world… in this case, our world; but really belonging to a fourth-dimensional world….

The reference to an African | The reference to an "African 'Hooey Hound'" is very likely an early nickname for the [[wp:Basenji|Basenji]], a dog breed from Africa that had just been introduced to America that decade and which had a distinctive howl ending in a whine: "[https://youtu.be/lvHCtSsqOnM?t=35 HOOOO-''eeee'']". The Basenji's curled tail and propensity for standing on its hind legs can be seen in Eugene the Jeep. "Free life cells" can be interpreted as a delicate reference to reproductive cells, e.g. eggs, which were "at a favorable time" (estrus) for fertilization. The result was that a Basenji gave birth to the hybrid creature known as Eugene, allowing a "fourth-dimensional" being to live in our three-dimensional world. | ||
It's | It's hard to resist comparing this to my [[Oni2:Slaves of War/Overview|concept of the Daodan organism]] as an entity or genetic process which invades our world through the phase barrier. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 00:17, 25 November 2021 (CET) | ||
