Well, we made all the right decisions (6/6). Did you?

"Yo Sushi" boy's face was indeed a picture.

Would it be feasible to have a search function for the character profiles pages, for quickly looking up story titles? Something like the one the messageboard already has.

Dunno if anyone else spotted this, but just above http://www.2000adonline.com/images/template/b_about_2000ad_o.gif> is a link to what looks like a "hilariously" re-dubbed bit from DvsD.

This thread is hereby blagged.http://www.2000adonline.com/covers/2000ad/mediumres/1371.jpg">

My turn to blag the prog thread :)

If zorbs are the real world boinging, this must be the real world batting.

There was an old Alan Moore / Dave Gibbons FS called The Wild Frontier, with Billy The Squid and The Clone Ranger. But I'm struggling to think of any other Octopus appearances in 2000AD.

Aid my developing obsession by reminding me where else an Octopus may have appeared. (Generic tentacled sea beasties will also be accepted).

(Following on from the 'Where have all the good times gone' thread)

Balls Brothers was great. Big dumb fun for those of us who think the Three Stooges is high art (which it is). And mercifully short, too. "It's my little fluffy" is still one of the best lines in recent years.

Then there's Bonjo, Dash Decent and Captain Klep, but there's little chance of Kev O'Neill doing anarchic one-pagers again.

Big Dave, Sooner or Later, Blair 1, Teenage Tax Consultant and Bec & Kawl were mis-fires at best, all burdened with a smug cleverness. I reckon what makes a good funny is complete lack of shame and a wealth of little details, lot's going on in the page to keep dimbo's like me entertained.

But is there a place for funnies in 2000AD?

Going by the preview in the News...

Looking forwards to Stront and Slaine the most, they're tried and trusted.

Remaining optimistic on Leviathan, being as it's from the team who brought us Scarlet Traces (yay) yet still something of a unknown quantity. Same with From Grace.

Dredd doesn't seem all that inspiring. Don't like Charlie Adlard's work, and Dredd meets yet another face from the past (who d'ya reckon?).

...returns as "The Chief Judge's Executioner" sometime around Prog 1340, apparently. Oh, yeah!

'Much missed and much acclaimed' according to the latest Meg.

Who's it gonna be?

Place yer bets...

Yayy! Helm just thudded onto my doormat!

Evan Dorkin's spectacularly offensive 'Pirate Corp$!' spin-off 'Vroom Socko' from Deadline.http://members.aol.com:/roguesmiley/vroom2.jpg">

Yeah, it's getting like the Oscars in here, but one more award won't hurt.

The Golden Beanie is that special token nod towards the unsung heroes who make 2000AD a lot more than a comic.

A little bit like the myriad Lifetime Achievement's Dickie Attenborough has stacked in his shed, inherently worthless but throbbing with awe and admiration.

You could perhaps nominate Pat and Dyl for the Wall of Fame, Wake for running the site, someone who's post made you laugh milk out of your nose, or someone who went beyond the call of duty in getting you that prog you've wanted for years.

Basically, anyone who made your world that little bit more thrill-powered.

Ever wondered what Frank Hart (The Visible Man) might look really look like?

"The Visible Human Project? is an outgrowth of the NLM's 1986 Long-Range Plan. It is the creation of complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the normal male and female human bodies. Acquisition of transverse CT, MR and cryosection images of representative male and female cadavers has been completed. The male was sectioned at one millimeter intervals, the female at one-third of a millimeter intervals. The long-term goal of the Visible Human Project? is to produce a system of knowledge structures that will transparently link visual knowledge forms to symbolic knowledge formats such as the names of body parts."
