:star:  The Restaurant at the End of the Universe  :star:

</b>


The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was Douglas Adams' second book in his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series and Milliway's is that restaurant where not only can it be reached only by time travel, but is located not at the end of space, but at the end of time and matter.  It is my favorite setting in the entire series, especially as seen in the 1981 BBC TV series and it is there where the most impossibly unusual lifeforms congregate to watch the universe come to an end as they dine.  One reason why I much prefer the TV series over the 2005 movie was that Milliway's was only a brief mention in the movie, but was the subject and setting of an entire scene in the TV series. If you have not  seen the TV series, what in your imagination would you think the restaurant's patrons might look like, use, wear or eat?  Some of the works in this collection were intended as fan art of HHGTTG but turn your imagination loose and see if you agree that Adams himself might have had a wry smile at this collection of deviations!   

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "The Universe as we know it has now been in existence for over one hundred and seventy thousand million billion years and will be ending in a little over half an hour. So, welcome one and all to Milliway's, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!"
