### Chadwick Jones Presents: Snowbeast

A Mist version of Jon Gibbord had a substantial appearance in the Snowbeast review. He appeared at the end to describe in great detail all of the atrocities Barney performed on Mist Chadwick. Interestingly, this version of Gibbord was unable to distinguish the severity of all the things Barney did, calmly describing electric torture over six days, but shuddering at the idea of him getting his arm lightly touched. After he finishes with the story, he blows off doing a report on Mist President Rock's 16th re-election in order to go on a date with Mist Meridale.
