Day 663: Delta and the Bannermen Part 2

I'm continuing to enjoy this story as it continues to be a blaze of fun and stupidity. But there's also surprisingly dark moments within it, such as the moment when an entire bus of alien tourists is destroyed by the villain, on the grounds that they may have been harbouring Delta, the Chimeron Queen and last of her race. It's a thoroughly jarring moment, in particular as it's preceeded immediately by a quick comedy bit as the bus driver makes a brief 1950's reference, before attempting to drive away. But it works surprisingly well in the context of the story, as it shows the villains as completely and properly evil, and not the cartoonish style of evil that one would expect for this type of story. Thus, it has now become less of a story about having fun, and more about a story of fighting between having fun and dealing with serious and evil business. So let's hope that fun can win at the end of the day, as we approach the conclusion to Delta and the Bannermen.
