So Long and Thanks for All the Words: A Toast to Douglas Adams


A Toast to the Frood Who Really Knew Where His Towel Was

Regardless of your dimensional coordinates, we at The Multiverse Employee Handbook wish to raise our electronic towels and digitally frosted Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters to the man who taught us how to laugh in the face of existential terror. Every episode we create, every absurdist corporate scenario we imagine, every existential crisis we disguise as a training module—they all owe a debt to the man who looked at the vastness of space and decided what it really needed was more jokes about digital watches and improbable spaceships powered by bistromathematics. May his digital watch always be considered a pretty neat idea somewhere in the multiverse, may his babelfish continue to translate the incomprehensible bureaucracy of existence into something approaching sense, and may we all remember, in large friendly letters: DON’T PANIC.
