Alistair himself seems rarely puzzled by, for instance, the proposal that a ghost is taking over an electrical engineer and wants advice on how best to pull it off.A collection was released in 2015, retroactively giving Alistair a history.The official website is linked here[1].Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })
