I'm sure there's been some Al B./Flapjack interaction before, but possibly nothing as overt as this one.

And yes, I did try to get the Hole Man to have some of the vibe of his inspiration.

As for the back-up feature, I was trying to echo the frenetic scripting style of Ms Shepherdson, but alas no Sarahs were involved in the making of this feature. It's kind of like all those people who now write James Bond novels.

As for font colour, I recently upgraded my ancient Internet Explorer program for a more contemporary one. Now there's an eccentric glitch in the old IEs that sometimes makes lightslategrey appear as blue, and so for the ten plus years I've adopted that as a signature writing colour (on recommendation from the Goddess of HTML herself, Cheryl) I've always seen my comments as almost the colour I posted this bit of story in. It's really weird for me now to find it's rather a dull grey after all. So when I needed a different colour to post an addendum in I thought I'd go for the blue for personal nostalgia's sake.
