But I loved the illustrations, and the way the text was playful (use of fonts as art), and of course, all of the great puns. A Blink of the Screen и A Slip of the Keyboard – там го разбрах въпросното смешно, че и другите неща, които никак не бяха забавни.

And a story about the two nations resident on a floating dust mote going to visit a passing, neighboring dust mote.

He has gathered them, added a few history notes to clarify references from fifty years ago, and presents them with Mark Beech's plentiful whacky illustrations and the variegated type sizes to show how loudly people used to speak! My favourite stories were Dok the Caveman, The Abominable Snowman and Father Christmas goes to work at the zoo.
