This is Issue #206 of Q&V. I guess it’s a mistake to give a name to The Formless. I guess.

Pffttt, I’ll wait until the digitally remastered special edition of GiaB…You just know they’re gonna release that like a month after this anyway! Ripoff!
Aye, which means it’s terribly, terribly unfair! Why should -I- pay for things? I shall make it my new philosophical standpoint that no-one can claim ownership on anything, thus -I- should get everything for free!
I doubt the point will stand against much argument, but at least it’ll be a fun ride while it lasts
It’s like walking around shops eating a third of a bag of crisps and claiming you were eating the 30% that was extra free! More people need to test this claim.
Indeed you have! We need to test more of these issues…
For example, why can’t I just take the one packet that I get free with the two-for-one deal? If a pair of trousers is half-off, can’t I collect the free parts and sow them together?
But, most puzzling of all…How come a bottle of mineral water - mineral water that’s been flowing in mountains for millenia - has an expiration date?!?!
A few years ago I went into Waterstones bookshop and saw that they were selling something called “Buddha in a Box” - a Buddha figure and various other bits of kit all packaged in a box set. A friend of mine was working in the shop at the time, so I went to ask her about it. “Oh,” she quipped, “that’s nothing. We’ve got Jesus in a Jiffy Bag coming in next week…”
Hahah.. that’s an excellent one Will… How much could someone charge for that? £2.50, maybe?
(Actually, I have one of those Buddha Box things, really good looking statue and book, as well as the box itself… for once packaging that isn’t meant to be thrown away, something you can be proud of).
Hehe, you do know what saying something like that could do for the comic bud? Will’s comment spurred me on to drawing up the idea of more God-in-a-box shenanigans… what might you start with the idea of Jesus-in-a-nutshell?

Ah. So, about 5 or 6 Euros… that better? Or isn’t that the point?

Anything that costs money costs too much =P

Everything that costs money for someone doesn’t for someone else

I can see I’ve opened a whole box (er.. I mean can) of worms with this issue…

This could be the start of a new educational thing. “Jesus in a nutshell: The snack that teaches you theology!”

Well, I hope the creation of a lightly salted, savoury pre-dinner snack enjoyable by all the family.
Unlike those damned Allah-in-a-nutshell pretzels, that tend to snap often and splatter themselves all over your floor…

Oh no, surely you don’t want to spark controversy, not on somewhere as light-hearted as the Internet…

Hey, if you can’t stand the heat, then don’t strap the bomb across your chest!
I love a cruel joke =P
