Oh man that is JUST SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hilarious!!!!!!!!

That has just made my day!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE the pic of the Baron sat down having a drink! 'Beer for the Baron'! - There you go Jarmarmiller, there's the title for the 3rd volume! Job done.

Also,
'Head, torso, arms, legs, waist: Meertoh.'


Just totally, wonderfully hilarious.

MANY thanks for resurrecting this golden oldie thread! I would never have seen it otherwise.

A similar thing happened with the original Action Force strip, check out the Space Force cardboard base

and original Cosmic Cruiser and Q Force Swordfish

Hehehe. Just looking at that cover and your sig and I'm willing to bet that the prototype Sea Skimmer came in yellow. I'd love to get my hands on those originals, did you notice the Cosmic Cruiser wing missiles, and that the Satellite Defence had no aeriel slot?

One of mine is painted yellow. I'll sort out the red :qforce: sticker this week and then post a photo.
