So why is no one talking about how brutal Eeyore was in the original books?

me reading the picture of dorian gray : oh that is surprisingly explicit
me reading the notes at the back detailing the lines that oscar wilde had edited from the original draft : oh that is surprisingly explicit
So my mainland Chinese version of Good Omens finally arrived! (It’s out of print!)
On every page there’s these little angel and demon thingins, and I didn’t expect that there’s actually illustrations?? Although idk what’s happening in most of them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
THE APPLE THE FUCKING APPLE

When oppressed classes finally understand that they’ve been pit faithlessly against each other, and realize who their true enemy is.

Britain in Pictures series
The books were designed to boost morale but perhaps also record the British way of life in case the Germans completed their European campaign by successfully crossing the English Channel. The books were slim volumes with distinctive elegant covers, but it was the star-studded array of authors that made the series really special.
George Orwell wrote about the British people, Cecil Beaton wrote about English photography, the great poet and printer Francis Meynell wrote about English books, John Betjeman (who penned the immortal line” Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough” in 1937) wrote about cities and towns, Graham Greene wrote about dramatists, the doyen of sports journalists Neville Cardus wrote about cricket and Edith Sitwell wrote about women. Some of the authors have faded in obscurity but they were all experts in their field during those dark days of World War II.
A wide variety of subjects were covered from battlefields to boxing, clocks to mountaineering, butterflies to farm animals, and from waterways and canals to maps and map-makers. In all, there were were 132 titles. The books also covered the Commonwealth – John Buchan’s wife, Lady Tweedsmuir wrote about Canada while Ngaio Marsh and R M Burdon wrote about New Zealand.
There’s an alternate world in which the Germans won WW2, in which these books are the most forbidden texts in the whole of what was once the UK…
