MESSAGE FROM ME

 

Welcome to issue seventeen of The Eye Shield as I, Jake Collins of Harpenden, share with you some more of my thoughts and observations about Knightmare. Here is a question for you to mull over whilst reading this issue, the answer to which will appear in Next Issue Details. I will try to set one of these in each issue from now on, so be prepared to have your Knightmare knowledge stretched to its very limits. This issue’s question is: Which four characters have appeared on Knightmare whilst drunk? You can feel proud of yourself only if you name all four, by the way. While you’re thinking about that, you can, as ever, enjoy all the regular Eye Shield fun, including the start of The Quest in I Think I Read Somewhere, where you can take on my version of an interactive Knightmare adventure, and the long-awaited funny pages from Merseyside’s finest, Robin John Barlow. Enjoy!

 

 

CORRESPONDENCE

 

David “Knightmare Dave” Holt has sent in two more of his favourite Knightmare quotes. The first is from Snapper-Jack in series 8. Dave thinks that Snapper-Jack is a nasty piece of work, and he wouldn’t like to meet him on a dark night. The second quote comes from series 7, when dungeoneer Naila has entered the dwarf tunnels in level two. Dave has chosen this quote because he is – erm – interested in the connotations of its open ending.

 

Snapper-Jack: ”Ah, what have we here? No need to run, no need to hide: we’ll snap you anyway if we decide.”

 

Treguard: “Ooh, stop. It’s too dark in here just for…”

Advisor: (Giggles.)
