Synopsis

Indexer Notes

No credits are given. The Mary Lighthouse strips are normally drawn by Ian Jackson, but the character design and artwork style here are significantly different. Uncle Pigg appears as more of a generic cartoon pig, and Mary Lighthouse has a very angular, "elderly" look instead of her usual "middle-aged girly" appearance.
