Cameos in early progs

[slithy]

Anyone have any idea who the politician is/was?

[Leigh S]

2017 version: "I want the British people to see that their leaders have been executed - if that doesnt endear us to them, nothing will..."

[Tony Angelino]

Wasn't there a robot sheriff in Flesh who bore a resemblance to the Westworld Yul Brynner Gunslinger? Its been years since I've read Flesh and don't have any of the reprints.

Sorry, I've just read the opening post and my example probably doesn't quite meet the criteria as a real life person.

Don't know who the politician was but isn't that Morrissey[url] in the back seat leaning pout the window?

[Heath C Ackley]

Ahem....apologies.

[Andy B]

Roy Jenkins?

Roy Jenkins?

Looks pretty similar to James Callaghan too:


Though neither have moustaches.

Plenty of cameos such as Laurel and Hardy, Marx Brothers in the Face Change Crimes.

Throw some hyperobessive stippling in there, and you've practically got Drew Friedman. Didn't Bolland do the Stooges too?

I think the cameos become way more frequent in later years (eventually there's a mecha-Thatcher in Robo-Hunter, and of course Ronald Reagan has an extensive run on Strontium Dog). In '77 I like this little cameo by the Muppets when MACH Zero was introduced. It sets a chilling scene. The "I like the Crumpets/Grumpets" chest tattoo would quickly disappear!

Kenny Everett was in the first Nemesis story the terror tubes

Looks like a t-shirt to me.

Yup, Steve McManus says in TMO that it's a t-shirt, and indeed the thing he's most proud of in the strip

[Steve Green]

That would be great to have as a t-shirt, a bootleg of a knock-off copy of the muppets.

[TordelBack]

Goddamned hipsters.
