ATD review

[Joe Allonby]

I agree. The Dig is something I look forward to. Their comics are pretty
good. The reviewer is off the mark though. He doesn't get the Chums of
Chance. They're supposed to be annoying. Even the name Chums of Chance is
irritating. Why do they have to have a name at all? Why is their ship named
Inconvenience? I just want to smack them. That's what they're for. I think
they are a nifty little creation, geewhillickers.

Spellcheck is having a hell of a time trying to figure that one out.

Must watch football now.
