OBJECTION OVERRULED

The actors starring in the network’s marquee fall drama, Objection Overruled, had just arrived at the party tent when a spectacle came before their eyes. Or rather, before the eyes of most of them. Anton Helmerson, who played Judge Handlebar, was signing an autograph. Melanie Pattah, who played the mayor of Bandbox, was checking in her purse for drugs. But the rest of them, from Jeremy Karpernicus to Clinton Estrap to Elaine D. A’Arc, saw near the entrance a desiccated old man with the height of a boy of seven or eight rapidly touching every potted plant and whispering rapidly as he did. No one thought to stop him until he bumped Helmerson, at which point a female security guard sitting nearby was stimulated to her feet.
