Toyville City Hall

"When I was 10 I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I was found doing so. Now I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up"

C.S. Lewis

"Ahoy hoy, MiskatonicNick here welcoming you to...

with a new little Toyville short story for you... plus a little reshuffle of this page; the latest updated section will now always be listed first (until I forget). Back to Toyville 3.5 soon... but first I've gotta go and hide from Pinky somemore; never, ever Spring Cleaning again!"

A heady brew of Questions & Answers, Toyville Shorts, Tales from the Clearance Bin, Xmas Specials and any other assorted stuff.

Time for a spot of Spring Cleaning in a new Toyville short. Those with a sense of decorum, good taste and a weak stomach should probably avoid it... but what the heck are you doing here anyway? Also Ood lovers... (i) I'm so very, very sorry and (ii) yewwwww - you really ought to be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves ;)

" themes of self-sacrifice and self-indulgence, anguish and ecstasy, diplomacy and deception, and religion and perdition. The complexities of character and plot are sometimes enigmatic, and names are often exhausting to recollect, but the genius is everlasting. The impressive dialog sparkles with humor and wit, and the vivid scenes of battle are riveting"... is how the Library Journal reviewed Tolstoy's War And Peace. Dark Days in Toyville, on the other hand, is an over-long excuse for puerile schoolboy humour, terrible old jokes and a paper-thin plot.

The Sequel they said couldn't and shouldn't be written! And boy, were they right!

When will I ever learn? Another attempt at the 3rd Toyvillian epic tale. Please note, this in an environmentally friendly tale... i.e. all the jokes have been recycled from elsewhere ;)ar

This is where it all started. Here you'll find all my old Famous Covers customs and a few others. Also handy custom FAQs and a Links section. Probably all needs a damned good updating... but don't we all?

A little corner of the web I've staked out to provide the largest on-line resource/museum dedicated to Havoc the 1970's spy gal doll... and it'll also be somewhere for my custom Havoc to play too.
