MESSAGE FROM ME
Welcome to issue twenty-two of The Eye Shield. There’s the last part of Steven Webberley’s article about his favourite deaths this issue, so thanks once again for sharing those with me, Steven. Elsewhere there are the latest instalments of all the regular TES articles, including the long overdue return of The Big Issue. Of all the TES articles, this is the one that I find hardest to write, but as I did promise you Skarkill versus Lissard way back in issue 10, I have decided that it’s high time to deliver. While we’re on this subject, I am happily celebrating two years as TES editor this month. My thanks to those of you who still regularly read and enjoy The Eye Shield. By the way, if anyone wants to see TES retain its somewhat faltering fanzine status, you had better send me an article by September. Anyway, enjoy this issue for now, loyal readers!
Challenge question: Who is the last character ever to be seen on Knightmare?
Dear Eye Shield.
Hi, my name's Michael and I've just discovered this site whilst doing a search for all things Knightmare. I'm 18 and all my friends and I used to watch this show. I was really mystified and confused when it finished, as I can't actually remember hearing that the show would end at the time, just not seeing it in listings magazines. Are the stories in Adventure Time actual records of real quests?
No, they're not - I make them all up with a mixture of characters and puzzles from the programme. The dungeoneers are named after my friends. The ones I let win are the friends I really like. Classic Quest is the place to read about actual quests from the programme. Your experiences in finding out about Knightmare’s demise sound very much like my own. Thanks for getting in touch with me, Michael.
Dear Eye Shield.
My name is Pam Glennie. First and foremost congrats on TES! It's absolutely fantastic! What a read! I have always loved Knightmare - it was my favourite show as a child and now it remains my favourite. I love season 4 but that's probably because Pickle's in it and if he were a real person (elf?) I would marry him.
Each to their own, I suppose. Thanks for that, Pam. I'm very pleased that you enjoy TES so much. Do keep reading and you never know when something about Pickle will pop up. You could even send me an article about him if you like.
The Eye Shield issue twenty-three will be awaiting you in September, readers, so I will, as always, be on the lookout for any views or observations about Knightmare for this section of TES, as well as any other articles, features or puzzles. E-mail me at eyeshield2002@hotmail.com
