NOTES

Houyhnhnm is the name that Jonathan Swift used in his "Travels" to describe a race of sentient, peaceful horses.
Unfortunately, the writer of Martin Mystére nn. 54-55, "Ritorno a Lilliput" forgot about Swift's satirical goals, and turned those Horses into a bunch of idiotic aliens with psi-powers.
Our comic has the goal of fixing that mess, by revealing that the moronic Khrylls are just one ethnicity of a larger and more complex society.

The Khrylls were mentioned before in GaL #14, "The Music Of The Spheres". We'll come back to that specific connection later!

Our comic is retconning an official comic which, in turn, tried to retcon history.
So, now that Swift is AGAIN an historical character, we have to merge fantasy with real life facts, such as his escape from London, his staying in Ireland for years and his painful Menière's Syndrome.
