Revised opinion on Candy & Andy Two broken adults forced into panda costumes to play twisted games ending in humiliation by the stepford children What happens when shop window mannequins go through the Anderson workshop: resculpt heads, new eyes and wigs If AI has a use, animating this

No idea why she’s going to fly back to Paris if already travelling to London 🤷‍♀️ Why not leave the Rolls Royce on board? Parker can still have time off in Paris, if that’s what Penny wishes

Candy was a “thing” where adults dressed in animal costumes in order to abuse child mannequins that look like modern day sex dolls Nothing to worry about

At least they made a composite ship to “wrap around” the craft Plus, heat shields

1. Contact 21 A very nice Stingray model with a diesel engine capable of 17.2 mph 2. Corgi Club - A look at Lotus So many Lotus Elan produced by Corgi - here are some variants 3. The Stingray Annual for 1967

Nicola’s Century 21 @gleanniucha21.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The two examples 👆🏼 are staples of the series yet haven’t often seen in the strip to date Michael makes the launch more dramatic - if possible Replicates the “aquarium” scenes as framed on tv with fish up front and Stingray behind - but more impressive fish! Page 2 Cass is definately dodgy..

Nicola’s Century 21 @gleanniucha21.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Stingray A Trip to England Two examples here where Michael Strand takes common visual iconography found within the tv series and remodels for the printed page: Stingray’s launch through the ocean door Stingray traversing the ocean - with a fish tank positioned in front of camera ☺️
