Haha, glorious, has to be one of the strangest things I've seen in this game. Why is Esther Rantzen drinking my tears? Or is that supposed to be you? Do you have a thing for women with big teeth?

I suppose with any great piece of art you're always left with questions...

The classic dapper argument of 'You should get outside more and stop playing games'

From RL experience, people who say something like that usually have nothing better to do in life...

Voted-he is still crying as King William The Great beat him fair and square in the election.

I don't understand...why is Esther Rantzen drinking anyone's tears, and why is she so obsessed with doing so that she goes to the trouble of getting the words "Rory's tears" inscribed on a teacup?
Also, how did she get hold of his tears over the phone?
Did she rush round to his house to collect them?
And if Rory is standing as still as a statue shouting into the phone as depicted, how does he hear the responses coming from the other end?
Worse, I just noticed that the handset he's holding does not appear to be connected to an actual phone - so is Esther communicating telepathically with him, and if so, why does she feel the need to hold a phone to her ear while she does so?

I've thought about all this, and the only conclusion I can come to is that this whole conversation is taking place in Esther Rantzen's mind. This would also explain why Rory apparently exists in a place with no substance (note the lack of any kind of background in his panels, compared with the detailed background in Esther's surroundings). Why Esther (or whoever she represents) is having this daydream/hallucination I leave up to any psychiatrists out there to determine.
