The Powernaut actually has a long-standing tradition of answering
letters on his web page!
(http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2005/powerpatrol1.htm#talkback)
Toward that end...

* Several of you have already commented on his 1941 adventures. Do you
mind if I reproduce some of your comments, slightly munged to fit the
era? Something like...

It looks like Hitler's singing! - Andrew P.

Adolf, that was not a good performance. Frankly, your voice was way off
tonight. It was as if somebody had just punched you in the face before
you came on stage. - Martin P.

* Do you have any questions for the Powernaut, either in 1941 or 1954?

Turns out I'm an anally-fixated oedipal paranoid with
south-of-the-border schizophrenic delusions... But never mind, I've
found me the ideal job. I'm going to run for President!

Have weasels ever ripped your flesh? If so, what did if feel like? Was
it more or less painful than vampires ripping your flesh?

Dear Adrian: Not yet! But in an upcoming episode, we'll see if rabid
space crocodiles get to rip my flesh!

Welcome to my Power Patrol 1954!

Do I get anything really cool, like an atomic decoder ring?

Dear Mr. Powernaut,

Greatings from the future!

What time is it where you are? 1941? 1954? No matter! I have some
advice for you!

Invest in IBM. Now. Then in the early 80s sell you IBM stock and buy
Microsoft stock. Then in 2012 make out a check for one million
dollars and send it to Martin Phipps in Taichung, Taiwan. Don't
worry: one million dollars will be petty cash for you!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Martin

My business manager can probably hunt you up an authentic signed
certificate declaring you to be the Powernaut's Pal!

Ha ha! Hi, Martin! I'm glad to hear you planning for the future! But
my brainy friend S.O.S. assures me, here in 1954 the smart money is
going into power plants and rocket engines. You'll get to see S.O.S. in
my adventures one of these years, when his atomic rocket ship is ready
to fly us to Mars! And when you're flying to work in 2012 with your
rocket pack fueled with cheap, clean nuclear energy, you can thank him
for making it all possible!

Welcome to my Power Patrol!

No problem on this end!

Hi, Andrew! I checked my calendar and found, on Thursday night last
December 17th I was Santa's helper at Shoppers' World in Framingham,
Massachusetts! It's the world's largest suburban shopping mall. Can
you believe, it has 44 stores?

Glad to see you in my Power Patrol here in 1954!

...gotta say, that's an excellent answer.

Uh oh, looks like the Powernaut has his own version of Wyatt Ferguson's
diary. So he's full of alibis.
