I liked it a lot!!

And I must say, I also like the new P&A more and more. The drawings are really good too. And hard to admit it, but Peter Hampton is just cool. Though I like John Fillis too. And SpM. And of course Beef, sorry, Alien, he's just awesome even in this one. And everybody, basically...

Quite so! I am interested in John's in particular. It looks... well, it LOOKS.

(Boldening mine) You brought me to an idea. What about Hammond Scull? Or Hammond the Skull? Or something of that sort.

Hey, that's not a bad idea.

Glad you like the new P&A. I'm surprised Formy himself hasn't commented. (and the phantom, of course )

Yes, in fact I withdraw my suggestion and throw a second behind Hammond Skull, or any variant.

Heh. I'm waiting to see how/if I die before I give it my mouldy seal of approval.
