Genuinely couldn't tell you'd done anything there…

Stephen the Waxy Lemon

Cartoon featuring a waxy lemon called Stephen who meets a pedantic pear
Panel 1
Stephen: HELLO READERS, I’M OFF
DOWN THE GREENGROCERS TODAY TO PROTEST ABOUT ALL THE NON-INDIGENOUS FRUIT ON THE SHELVES...
2
Stephen: BLOODY KIWIS AND CUMWUATS... COMING OVER HERE... INVADING ENGLISH PUDDINGS...
Pear: ERR... I HATE TO BE A PEDANTIC
PEAR BUT...
3
Pear: LEMONS WERE ORIGINALLY IMPORTED TO THE UK FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION IN THE 15TH CENTURY... THE WORD “LEMON" ITSELF HAS FRENCH, ITALIAN, AND PERSIAN ROOTS... ...AND THEIR INTRODUCTION WAS FACILITATED BY ARABIC AGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE…
4
Stephen is seething. Barely able to contain his rage…
5
Stephen has decked the pear - who lies unconscious on the ground, his glasses broken - and is stomping off into the distance.

The only reason the Galactica survives the initial attack is precisely because they aren't online and they do keep analogue records of everything – but I realise now you probably know that and that's why you referenced it…

Ugh. It's because I copied the text from a screenshot probably picking them up as o's. It's going through a sub, she'll pick all that up but well spotted.

10/10. No notes.

This is a point actually, if anyone wants to talk to me about the sgt pepper 10 years project for their podcast or whatever, just drop me a line. I'm eager…

Completely lost count. I could do with one now though to promote the book and stuff if anyone wants to have me on their radio show or podcast or whatever!

Apart from at the very end. I actually think I was slightly pissed when I did the last update on this one!
