You were in control of one TYO character walking around a number of rooms and collecting stuff, and the goal was to exit the house. I didn’t ever complete the game, mostly because I had no idea who the Young Ones were and my English wasn’t good enough to decipher the speech balloons o_O

Now they’re all over the place. Those things are like crack.

A week after registering and I finally have a password so I can post.  Makes for serious lag time in a witty reply. Anyhoo, I  did this piece back in 2000, thought you’d enjoy it based on your KK comment.  http://bigblued.com/lj/krispy.gif

So, I decided to draw, in glorious colour pixels, this alternative-universe panel 4 to illustrate this similarity (and, while I’m at it, give Mell a similar conversion as well).

This also features the first use of “drat”, the most dastardly expletive known to humanity. Also the first time in which Helen does the Power Teeth Clench as she draws chi from her surroundings with which to smite her unruly intern.
