[[Panda]] writes an introduction to the readers of "[[Lady Stardust|this stupendous tome]]" whilst drinking [[Gin and tonic|G&T]] with [[Cilla Black|Cilla]] playing on a [[stereogram]]. He is delighted to have edited edited such a collection of [[Iris Wildthyme in popular culture and mythology|stories about himself and Iris]], despite his usual habit of trying to keep a low profile in their adventures. He admits that while he [[love]]s Iris, he does like a bit of alone time to himself. | [[Panda]] writes an introduction to the readers of "[[Lady Stardust (in-universe)|this stupendous tome]]" whilst drinking [[Gin and tonic|G&T]] with [[Cilla Black (in-universe)|Cilla]] playing on a [[stereogram]].

Panda mentions how he is [[nude]] on the cover, and he explains that a few days prior he had been resting in [[Jardin du Luxembourg]] and he had bought a "most marvellous, stripey [[cravat]]" from [[Le Bon Marché]] after a detour in [[La Grande Epicerie]]. However, after he had tossed the cravat behind the [[chaise lounge]] inside the bust after Iris had acted uncaringly towards his new garment, Iris gave him a few [[cocktail]]s and a dinner at [[Le Meurice]]. That was when [[Photographer (Letter from the Editor)|a photographer]] took their photo for the cover, hence Panda's nudity. However, Panda isn't too bothered as he thinks that people will be distracted by Iris doing one of her impressions of [[Worzel Gummidge]] [[Worzel Gummidge's sister|sister]]. | Panda mentions how he is [[nude]] on the cover, and he explains that a few days prior he had been resting in [[Jardin du Luxembourg]] and he had bought a "most marvellous, stripey [[cravat]]" from [[Le Bon Marché]] after a detour in [[La Grande Epicerie]].

Panda wishes that the readers will enjoy the collection, especially as he went through an entire box of [[red]] [[pencil]]s and had not yet received his case of [[gin]] in compensation from [[Obverse MegaText Conglomerate|his publishers]], who he believes are amateurs. | Panda wishes that the readers will enjoy the collection, especially as he went through an entire box of [[red]] [[pencil]]s and had not yet received his case of [[gin]] in compensation from [[Obverse MegaText Conglomerate|his publishers]], who he believes are amateurs. | ||

** He was frustrated at Iris' lack of respect towards him and his short legs, lack of [[balance]], and [[age]]. | |||

** During his argument with Iris over the cravat, he had thrown an empty bottle of [[Bombay Sapphire]] at her, but it instead hit a window in the bus and cracked it. | |||
