The contents page of this issue does not credit Christin, which is too bad because his contribution to this story is obvious – it’s more than your typical two or four page Bilal story wrapped around a single joke and/or concept.

Here, the plot revolves a much more politically-charge issue, the renovation of a sleepy little fishing village into a more high-tech resort for rich people to spend their vacations in. Of course, the townspeople aren’t especially happy about these plans, but nobody has bothered to consult them.
