The Good, The Bad and the Walrus. So yeah, me and Tim had a look at ODDTAXI -- which, yes, is written in all-caps -- and found that it is indeed a bit odd, but mostly, it's pretty good. Yeah, it's a very well thought-out story with that art style, and yes, there is even a reason for that. Wouldn't dream of spoiling that for you. Go right ahead and read the review... or even better, watch the show. And that's that. Next week, I spy with my little eye a chance for some family time. See you all then. Also, sorry for being a bit on the late side with this, because jeez, vacation.... it makes you lose track of time, man. -Stig Høgset.
