Description
Young Alan grew up in Whooton. He was unable to find anyone to date. His attempts to ask out the popular Johnnie Ducane led to his being scorned and made the object of mockery, which he never forgot or forgave. He'd also discovered his tickle fetish from being read the Sesame Street story about the Terrible Tickler. As a small boy, Alan had obsessed over the Terrible Tickler's gloves, which he'd thought to have some secret power to tickle people into insanity.

Leaving Whooton, he used his brains well and built a career devising military weapons. But over the course of twenty years, he never stopped wanting revenge on the men and boys who'd laughed at him. When he was finally made redundant, his boss Ronald Timson allowed him during his last week to work on what he liked. Alan was finally able to perfect his tickling glove.

Disliking his boss, Alan used his new glove on him first. When it worked, he declared himself renamed as the Terrible Tickler and left his boss and almost all the men at the facility laughing hysterically from a touch of one of his tickling gloves. He then headed back to Whooton, while Dr Stafford, the head doctor there, contacted detective Melvin Derwent to try to stop Alan.

Arriving in Whooton, Alan began using his tickling glove on every man and legal-age teen boy in sight. They all fell to the ground, laughing hysterically, eventually needing oxygen. This began to create havoc. Alan's goal was to get to the mayor, a former friend, for whom he had something a little different in mind, but first he was going to tickle all the dudes in Whooton.

Eventually, after tickling every man he could find, Alan arrived at Main Street. He found and entered Johnnie Ducane's place of business, tickling the sales associate, a customer, and then finally Johnnie himself, despite Johnnie's attempt to apologize.

Alan left Johnnie laughing helplessly and resumed his course down Main Street. He tickled men of all ages and men of all professions. Nobody was immune. One touch of Alan's glove and they were all instantly lost in hysterical laughter.

As Alan tickled his way towards the mayor's office, Dr Bex, Dr Stafford, and Melvin Derwent arrived at Johnnie Ducane Enterprises. They did their best, along with nurses Andrew and Terence, to minister to the laughing men. Melvin knew Alan's plan was to get to the mayor. The havoc caused by all the tickling seemed to make impossible to stop Alan in time.

Nearing the mayor's office, the Terrible Tickler heard laughter he hadn't caused. He entered the building and found a tickling video being made, but the victim was faking being ticklish. He gave everyone involved a taste of what truly being ticklish was genuinely like, with the cameras still running to capture it all.

Alan got closer to the mayor's office. Dr Bex and Melvin Derwent were on his track, but still well behind. As he approached the courthouse, two high school seniors, Harry and Larry, were actually thrilled to meet the Terrible Tickler, and begged him to tickle them. They told him about how unpopular they were in high school. Alan invited them to join him in revenge. They declined, preferring to be tickled into insanity. He obliged them and resumed his path of vengeance.

After tickling the last few men in his path and news reporter Dylan Derby, Alan entered the courthouse and soon stood before the mayor, his old friend Nicky Brent. Alan had to convince Nicky to sign a document absolving him from blame or fault from his campaign of tickling terror. During their encounter, another gloved tickler appeared at Johnnie's store.

Nicky finally capitulated. Then Melvin Derwent arrived, just too late, and revealed that he and Alan were brothers. As they argued, Alan's husband Angelo, similarly gloved, walked in. Alan wouldn't use his tickling glove on his own brother, but Angelo did.

As Alan and Angelo were teasing Nicky, Dr Bex sneaked into the office and hid. When they started to shred Angelo's gloves, he distracted their attention and managed to knock one glove away from the shredder. They found Dr Bex and Alan tickled him insane before he could reveal that the third glove had survived. [this was a happy invention of mine; in the original story, both of Angelo's gloves were shredded]

Five months later, Alan became mayor of Whooton. He and Angelo had an argument about Nicky, who'd become Alan's personal assistant. Alan used his glove on Angelo, removing the last obstacle to his ruling alone.
