Comic #024 'Lou Could Have It So Much Better' was completed 12/12/05.

The title is a combo pun on the Franz Ferdinand album title 'You Could Have It So Much Better' with Lou referring to iconic Neighbours character Lou Carpenter.

This is the first comic charting the night of the celebratory party.

The 'croc wrestler' is a reference of course to Steve Irwin.

A line was taken from Knuckles during frame five where he comments Vector's Auntie Margret is a lovely lady and always sends him a birthday card.

To go with it's Aussie theme the disclaimer is upside down! :D

The end lines reference both the Neighbours theme tune and another iconic phrase from the Australian soap opera. Bouncer was the Labrador owned by the Mangle Family.
