Actor/writer/ comedian/ flâneur.
Expect some light drivel but sunny spells later.
An actor's rare luxury.

You didn't get John le Carré references with Monster Fun Comic. In hindsight, I suppose Monster Fun would be more inclined to namedrop James Herbert or Dennis Wheatley.

Nice start to the year. I've just found the £500 cash prize hidden in my bag of Kettle Chips. I thought they tasted a bit funny.

The last of the year. Have a great night everybody and tomorrow treat yourself to a lie- in.
SSSSLEEP FOREVER! Or at least until noon.

This upcoming Corriedale crossover intrigues me.
I hope Steve MacDonald walks into The Woolpack, spots Jai Sharma at the bar and yells out, "As I live and breathe, it's my old Street Cars business partner Vikram Desai!" and makes this face.

Just finished watching all of the Jon Pertwee era Doctor Who over a 2 year period. Loved it.

Question for Whovians.

Have I imagined it, but do the opening recaps always go on much longer if in the previous episode there'd been some fancy fight choreography near the end?

Just read this quote.

"Next to her, Marilyn Monroe looked like a barmaid," wrote Jean-Marie Le Pen in his memoirs, recalling his first encounter with Brigitte Bardot at the end of the 1950s.

Well, I know who I would've preferred serving me a pint of stout in The Dog & Duck.

Two for the price of one today as I've been a bit remiss with my 2000 AD posts over the seasonal period.
Visually, too similar for consecutive issues, don'tcha think?

Who enjoyed their annual intake of vegetables this Christmas? I'm tempted to treat myself to more of them later next year. Perhaps, to compliment a frozen pizza on my 60th birthday?

Two more 2000 AD related Xmas annuals for yer.

Memo from editor to Kev O'Neill RE: 1980 DD annual.

Hi Kev,
You can just do much the same as last year? A humongous starship, explosions, Danny boy shouting in a variety of colourful fonts in his cockpit, etc

Cheers

As a special Xmas treat for you, here are some 2000AD annuals that I just dug out my folk's attic.
What the flip was going on with Dredd's helmet in 1980?

Stop sniggering at the back there.

I had lunch today in front of a large painting of Michael Winner staring down at me. It was a bit disconcerting, and made me recall his final film, Parting Shots (1999). It bizarrely starred Chris Rea in the lead; somebody I haven't thought about in years.
I've just heard the news. Blimey!

Judge Death is from Deadworld, where all life was declared illegal. After all, if only the living can commit crimes, then is life itself not the greatest crime of all?

"Unwrap the corpssse --sso that we may live!"??

He's hoisted himself by his own petard there.

Have a merry crisp mess everyone. Here is a seasonal postcard I picked up at the 40th anniversary bash for John Shuttleworth recently.

Superb cinematic artwork! You can almost hear the rumbling vehicles and Middenface McNulty's blether on this cover.

For days Joe Dredd had this strange, irrational feeling that the actor, Peter Capaldi had it in for him. To placate his nerves he would often sing to himself; mainly songs by his favourite composer, Mike Batt.
