I Don't Hate Chaka Any More

When me and my brother were kids we liked to watch Land of the Lost. I was into it for the time travel aspect mostly, though the sleestacks were morbidly interesting and any episode that had a matrix in it was pretty great.The two kids and their dad were all right, though it was odd that Holly's pants always looked new. The theme song had all kinds of banjo going on, and made no bones about the unrealistic thousand-foot drop that the family survived (time travel saves lives I guess).

But then there was Chaka. He was a...pre-human maybe, a boy-sized one. He was whiny and misguided and had no upper lip. I will save all attempts at description and just show you. He looked like this:

Example

Holy shit.

I think he could have been a precursor to Ch ewb aka or maybe that's who he grew up into, having figured out the time and space travel stuff. It might be that I don't hate him anymore because I don't have to hear him or see him in action. Nah, there isn't enough reason to hate any made up character, really.
