COMMANDER SHORE: Attention all WASP agents! I have some disturbing news about our friend's new Stingray comic anthology.
ATLANTA: Father, what's that?
COMMANDER SHORE: All of the comic strips in our book, which is available on Forbidden Planet's website, are good, even one which has a style similar to Raymond Briggs' stories.
PHONES: (in a low voice) Except When The Wind Blows.
COMMANDER SHORE: But here's the bad news.....THERE ARE NO BLEEDIN' INTERESTING BITS UNLIKE THOSE THUNDERBIRDS BOOKS!!!
(All the WASP agents gasp in horror)
COMMANDER SHORE: Why does International Rescue get to do anything they want? I mean, they got all the riches, the jewels, the cash, that stemmed from being as popular as those stupid Korean demon hunters that premiered on Netflix last year. Even Lady Penelope's in on all the fun - not forgetting Parker, or her daughter - but us? We just sit around doing nothing!
ATLANTA: Now, father, don't go ranting on about International Rescue, you know things got even worse when Tracy Beaker's mentioning of the group got televised in 2021 - after all these stressing programmes.
PHONES: Yeah! Down with CBBC!
TROY: Wait - where's Marina?
COMMANDER SHORE: Oh. Er...well, she's gone into her room to cuddle Oink.
PHONES: And fantasise about the sea?
COMMANDER SHORE: Well, Oink is Marina's son.
