Iain, me ol' mucker, I offer my humblest apologies (and to Morris if he requires them). It was a darned fine script anyways up, and a pleasure to draw.
Er...I did draw it, didn't I?

Re: The fizzog that sunk a thousand ships - Jonah at fifty.
Beat me to it on all counts, Lew. Damn right again, as NP might (and probably will) say. Tolworthy, I can see where you're coming from, and I accept that what you're proposing is held by you to be a good thing for all concerned. But there are other ways in which to promote the comics business that d...

Not to be encouraged on a public forum, I suggest.

Re: Bully Beef and Chips
Any idea who drew it?The Jocks and the Geordies was revived for a one-off dig at Viz in 1995. My brother probablt had the issue but i doubt he has now. It was a satire of the situation between Viz (based in Newcastle, even) and DC Thompson at the time

Did you / do you actually find old british comics funny?
The traditional 'formula' for a script, as explained to me at age 18 by then Beano Editor, Harry Crammond, was an opening, three funny incidents and a twist at the end (this would be for a single page in the 70's, as most of the stories were back then; around 12 pictures long). I hated following thi...

Did you / do you actually find old british comics funny?
I think Kev summed it up with his "comics were usually for smiling at" comment. I started the 70's as a kid avidly reading as many humour comics I could get my hands on, and finished the same decade writing for the Beano, then Nutty. As a writer, I think we aim for smiles rather than guffaws, and an...

Re: Where topics go
... and unless we're really not paying attention, if it got onto Andy Pandy and the Flumps, that topic would be moved back to Discussion> because it's too broad for the specific forum. On that point, one set of forums I am on does have a rule of staying on topic. We're rather less worried about tha...

CHRISTMAS BEANO - A LOT OF REPRINT MATERIAL?
Oh, and Happy New Year!
My resolution is to speak my mind more, after a 2007 of largely biting my tongue. Hopefully it'll be one of those resolutions that won't last long.

Re: CHRISTMAS BEANO - A LOT OF REPRINT MATERIAL?
It was in Discussion> originally. Where it doesn't belong, and I'm more than a little p***ed off about the number of threads that get created in Discussion> out of pure laziness. Okay, Andy, in order that you might be a little less p***ed off, perhaps you'd like to clarify just exactly what the Dis...

Dream on, chaps - unless policy has changed in recent years, even the office staff have to pay (discount) for them.
