I daresay this means I shall have to get out my little step ladder so I can reach the top shelf of my bookcase and get the password for the latest journal!

Oh yes, the newsagents even have them half covered by a paper back these days, the content is so risque!

Well, the back cover of one Journal did feature a full-colour picture of a book called Two Naughty Pussies! :lol:

I’m enjoying this serial. It is fairly similar to the original books in style and I like that. The characters are true to form as well.
Nice work Rob.

I just read the latest chapter, and I must say it is brilliant! I love how you let Daisy have a bit of the limelight too. Great work, Robert! :D
