Title: Name That Strip Quiz Event
Post by: Buttonman on 19 February, 2007, 11:53:53 AM
Here's an original idea that I got leafing through the IoS's quiz pages. Basically it's a sequence of pictures that you use to solve the puzzle. In this case it will be name of a 2000ad/Megazine character, series or storyline.

For example :

Here's mine,

It should read out phonetically the name of a graphic novel without giving away the name of the main character.

The third picture ( The three monkeys.) may take abit more working out unless you all get it straight away.

It's actualley fours words. Although only two are hinted at. These two, the first and last words are joined by another two words ( A preposition followed by a adjective.) inthe middle. Which you naturally will just have to guess as you work out the clues to the important words.

You woiuld of had to interpret the third picutre with the monkye covering it's mouth circled as a MUTE. ( Can't speak) Not that monkeys do that anyway.

johnnystress: and teach me how to post multiple images

You have to include the "a" tags in the body of your post. I use photobucket to host the images and it generates the code for you so you can just paste them all in after each other. I think some of the others are sticking them all together into one image before themselves first.

ThryllSeekyr: Guessing that last picture. 'Fiends of the Eastern Front'

Afraid not, that was a bit of deliberate misinformation on my part. It's a character you're looking for here.
Title: Re: Name That Strip Quiz Event.......
Post by: Buttonman on 22 February, 2007, 01:52:02 PM
What I do Johnny is copy the pics to clipboard and then paste them into paintbox. You can then resize them to a uniform height. Once all in place pull in the white area so only your pics show and save the image to your computer. Then upload to photobucket or other image hoster. This will give you the url to post it here in the normal fashion.

I think it was Crystal Fanny Poker.  Well the lady's no oil painting, possibly a Dog, the film's Kubrick's The Killing so we probably assumed the crystally thing was supposed to be Strontium.  Maybe not, thought!

johnnystress, multiple images in one post can be done with [img src=] blah blah [img src=], replacing square brackets with pointy ones.  Or you can waste time and paste single images into a strip using graphic converter (Mac) or whatever PCs have.

Title: Re: Name That Strip Quiz Event.......
Post by: ThryllSeekyr on 22 February, 2007, 02:04:59 PM
What Id di was saving a few photo formt he wbe to my desktop and reopening each one in 'Paint' ( It comes with the Windows 2000 software that came with my computer.) and saving them. I then cut n pasted each one of them on to a small page I had also opened and pasted them there. Resising them to desireable proportions using 'Attributes under the 'Image' command. Painting a red circle around one of the monkeys myself. I then just save this again and upload the image to 'Image Shack' which is much more efficient than 'PhotoBucket' From there I click on the image thumbnaiol and right click on it again. I highlight the image properties, Copy the URL addres and just paste that in the Optional Image URL box below.

Easy.

Though I don't otherwise know how to post multible images directly from the internet though.

Well done sir. The middle one is a NOR gate (for Not OR, which only produces a true result when both outputs are false.) I thought Max Schreck might throw a few but was confident some of the film buffs (button...) would get it.

It's not Rose O'Rion, but impressively, I guess - with a bit of a stretch - it *could* be.

Still.  WRONG.

Slightly different approach here. The picture is a cryptic clue to the whole thing rather than breaking it down into segments.

It's the title of a particular story. Belardinelli art.

Judge Dread

Wow! I didnt recognise him at all! he looks like something youd see on Eurovision
Title: Re: Name That Strip Quiz Event.......
Post by: Buttonman on 22 February, 2007, 04:35:47 PM
Cosh's one will be 'Mean Arena' although Dredd's 'Beggars' Banquet' would be more appropriate!
Title: Re: Name That Strip Quiz Event.......
Post by: Dunk! on 22 February, 2007, 04:47:28 PM
"Judge Dread. He looks terrible."

Seeing as he died on stage in 1998 he's looking pretty good in that piccie.

Oh, good try. Unfortunately, I think you've mixed up Mean Team (which Belardinelli did draw) and Mean Arena (which he didn't.) Neither are right and it's the title of a story rather than a strip if you get what I mean.

Loonies Moon, prog 192

Exactly - that's the one.  The Judge Dredd: Fence Shitters of the Black Atlantic is obviously one of those thrills sitting in a lead-lined vault.

By the way, that mooning pic is from some annual event in the states, where people spend a whole day mooning the Amtrak trains as they pass; people book tickets especially, apparently.  The things you learn trwaling for images for this thread...

Chapeau, as those crazy Frenchmen would say. Too Many Bams was the one I had in mind.

While I was in the pub earlier I finally thought that the skinheads in Si's might be "demo" rather than "walk", "march" or "scum" but you'd beaten me to it you devil.

Matthew, why have you tagged your image 'no clues here'? You don't think people would look up the properties in a bid to cheat do you? I of course right clicked accidentally and then accidentally hit 'properties'.

I got Matthew's although it did mean trawling through loads of (mostly skuddy) images of Ursula Andress.

It's SHIMURA

SHE-MUIR-RAH.

I know there are two outstanding but as I'm out tomorrow I thought I'd leave you with this.

I was going to use this one but decided it was too easy which is when I came up with the baseball one.

I can't think of any clue for the baseball one that doesn't give it away but I was being a bit mean & deliberately went for an obscure story. It ran in one prog.
