More explanation - Hopefully for the last time
When we go to this island it is for a vacation and though we may discuss serious matters in during our courses in the morning, our main priority is to have fun and enjoy each others company.

Therefor when this happening was made (just one out of many) it was of course done in jest, thereby I am not saying that there was nothing seriouse about it.

A good example is the course I did. Very seriouse stuff and we even made a draft for new laws about survailance which should be presented in the parlament any day now, but at the same time we found time to joke and found the LET.

Few clues? Pffft... There I was, minding my own business sketching a lovely portrait scene of young socialists in their natural habitat, and you still can't see the obvious evidence?

That's the last time I ever donate work to the local police force. Next time you'll simply have to trade your firstborn for it like everyone one else.

Luckily for me, I never have to think if I'm to take diet-anything or the original-version-anything. Muwahahaha.

Urm... I did think about it, but the story line seems to have rendered that impossible. Maybe in volume 3...
I do often wonder where Morsul the Dark (the Downer) has gone to and whether he finds his appearance in P&A insulting.

Someone asked me where I get my ideas from. I steal them from homeless children with skin conditions. Just like Jane Austen.

A pity. And I secretly thought that he might have been the one who's behind all this...

Obviously. That's the reason why he's no longer around.

Or maybe a milder interpretation: the strange space-time continuum of the comic strip just sucked him inside and therefore he exists only in there and no longer in RL.

So it's a bit like the stunts that Tricksters pulled in the 60s? It makes a politcial point in a fun way?
