An alternative to Frank Herbert's Dune 
National Lampoon's Doon
Ellis Weiner
1984
Book One
DOON
Know, sisters of the Boni Maroni, that any study of the life of Mauve'Bib demands the subtlest attention to details of place. Can you truly understand why a man is a thing, if you neglect to understand where he is that thing that he is?
Commence, then, with the fact that it is on the planet Cowboydan that Mauve'Bib spent his childhood—yet it is on Arruckus, the planet known as Doon, that he fulfilled his destiny. It is Doon that is his homeworld, Doon that is his place of triumph, Doon that is forever his principal mailing address.
Send therefore to Doon your requests for recipes and reprints—or send them not at all.
—from "The Making of the Messiah, 10,193," by the Princess Serutan
