    I love how we can decide for ourselves who Bill is in this picture.

    I like to imagine Bill is the rabbit tailed creature in the middle.

      Terry Pratchett once said: “I don’t think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was the funniest Science Fiction novel ever written. The funniest Science Fiction novel ever written was Bill, The Galactic Hero”.
