Octopus's Garden
Issue Seventy-Five
20th July 2012
Sub-editorial
HELLO, good evening and welcome to Octopus's Garden, the
subzeen with its very own Railway Rivals game. It's a subzeen to
Jim Burgess' The Abbysinian Prince, which
is now a subzeen to Douglas Kent's Eternal Sunshine.
Produced by Peter Sullivan peter@burdonvale.co.uk.
It's also available on the web at http://www.burdonvale.co.uk/octopus/.
This issue is late, even by my recent standards, so let's cut to the chase:
