I think it was actually a giant amoeba in the story, but that's not how R.R. Epperly painted it. [Pulp Covers]

Seeing letters "OOZ" at first I thought you were going to say James Bond hates cephalopods.

Well to be fair he did spend the summer making that back yard looking really nice. Stupid Octopus are the reason we can't have clean, safe neighborhoods anymore.

You never fail to crack me up, Cal. And I needed that. Thanks!

By the way, Erik: I don't know if you've read the Dr. No novel, but Bond certainly does hate cephalopods!

I found paperback copies of "Casino Royale" and "From Russia with Love" at a garage sale not too long ago. I started reading "Casino Royale", but got distracted and haven't gotten back to it.

This illustrated excerpt from "Stag" magazine suggests you are right though.
