its from their fanzine Red (t)issue. Character in there called Bertie Magoo-the btter blue.Seems like they are as bitter the way they are reacting over our new found wealth and hopefully some silverware.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Because they're obsessed with us.

 

[Scrabster Six]

Thought it was after our legendary hero Glauber
