The Hangman getting hit by a car. God, I love that every time I look at it.
Bentley of Scotland Yard discovers a mummy that vomits chocolate pudding.
Um.... What else would be wrapped up in mummy bandages...?
BUT... no Japanazis. No Red Cross nurse. No Dusty doing pull-ups.
Should I demand my money back...?!
