GWOG'S TRIP TO THE MOON
After the Republic of the Moon developed time travel in the year 2215 A.D., they sent an expedition to earth. Arriving in the ancient civilization of Gondwanaland, they quickly became friends and began technological cooperation. Even a Gondwana-Loonese Postal Union was established. The Paleowarp is the name of the Time Travel Machine as dubbed by the Gondwana. It's prototype was the Loonese Warp Facilitator. (The folk of the Moon prefer to be called Loonese.)
One might well ask how Paleowarp time travel works. First, recognizing that three dimensional objects meet with more physical resistance, the Loonese Warp Facilitator was a device that allowed the time traveler to enter a two-dimensional 'envelope.' This envelope in essence allowed the time traveler to be 'mailed' to any place in space and time. Thus the cameo stamp of Gwog seen on this issue is really not so much a portrait of Gwog as a representation of the microchip used by Gwog for his Paleowarp Transference. These chips were manufactured in Gondwanaland, using the most recent flint knapping technologies.

Gwog, the Postmaster of Gondwanaland thus became the first Time Traveler from earth to the Moon, He adjusted his machine a bit roughly, arriving on the Moon in the year 1967. As he was travelling through a billion years of time, this was as close as he could get at first to the era of the Republic of the Moon, which he hoped to visit.
On the Moon he met a certain American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, Gwog greeted Neil, saying: 'One small step for Gwog, one great step for Gondwanakind.'
According to records, Neil had no memory of this encounter, perhaps a post traumatic trauma from seeing a Caveman on the Moon. But nevertheless this established Gwog as the first man on the Moon, as is recorded in the Annals of the Loonese.

Gwog, after searching around a bit, decided finally to go by Paleowarp to greet Quantus Qwo in Moonton for an exchange of official greetings and a bit of fun, seeing the sights of Loona. Mr. Qwo is Postmaster General of the Republic of the Moon, and had invited Gwog to visit him as soon as his time machine, or Warp Facilitator, as it is called, was in order.
Keep posted to this blog for more about the explorations of Gwog through Time and Space.
