Ming the Unwell
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Ming is recovering in hospital, where his mother and sister Sandra fuss over him like any other patient. The arrival of Rolex, a blue-skinned ruler from another planet, produces introductions and a lingering goodbye. Once the family leaves, the two despots compare undignified accidents and examine a card from nervous subjects. Their grand appearances do little to disguise the awkward small talk of a bedside visit, and Ming eventually settles back to watch television.
