You‘re sitting comfortably at a street café in summery temperatures trying to cool off with an ice coffee and suddenly you‘re witnessing an
alien invasion! That‘s what happened this summer when Miss Fetilicious and Lizanne Ligatio paid a visit to Earth. Finally, this event was

HR: As soon as I saw the pictures, I knew that there could only be one cover for this issue, and that was the Rubber Aliens. What do you think, what is the special fascination here?

HR: Ligatio, you filmed everything. Will we ever see the footage?
L: Sure! The main reason for doing all this was…
