The Pinky TA fan-fics that were done as part of the writer’s challenge were brilliant! Read them ^_^

Page description:
There’s trouble at the capital concerning the attack at Matmata. The French Administration at Tunis are worried, the quality of their intelligence seems as bad as Pinky's!
-Or is it? You can never tell what people really know with military intelligence these days… Hur hur hur! Either way, the native populace are having a hard time of it and rumours abound among the ranks.

Commentary:
Wheee! Like the last two pages, this has never been on Drunk Duck before. I did a lot of research to get elements in this page right… I found a handful of rare pics of what the governor’s place looked like in the 20’s in Tunis and what the presidential palace looks like now. But the building here is only loosely based on the real thing because the photos were so poor and limited and imagination is way more fun anyway. I’m sure if I spoke French or Arabic I’d be able to find a LOT more useful references… The real building had some arches, that vague shape, that middle awning, all those exact lions on the front steps, smaller flags, and that’s about all. The only other thing I know is that the real building has an open inner courtyard, it’s not all enclosed like this building (through the front doors you can see another set of doors and then the courtyard on the real one).
Those horses look wrong; they have funny heads and necks. I drew them in a hurry…

Writer's challenge!
