    In the original web posting, Bostwick was a withered corpse, and Mrs Lord’s line in panel 6 was, “Look at Mr Bostwick! He died this morning! He was only 43!” This at least gives Bostwick a chance to re-emerge as a beautiful butterfly, or possibly a giant carnivorous moth.

    Appreciate the translation! Saved me the google. Was going to guess it was one of those…um…“quangos.” Hope that is not an offensive term…Sort of sounds like “Oxfam.”

    Thanks for the explanations and translations! As a Yank, I was scratching my head at what was going on here.

    Panel 3, by itself, is worth reading this comic for.
