The very same - though it's ximoc, with a c not an x. comix backwards.

I'll think of a prize to send you (as promised).

How about a signed Jock Hellblazer? email me your address dxb.

'Did he have bulging, comedy orbs for eyes then?'

Yes, my friend. I'm afraid he did.

The Enigmatic Dr X · 28 February, 2003, 08:41:20 PM

Hang on! I started this bloomin' thread and said Ximoc was comix backward. Can I get a prize? Please? Pretty please?

(OK, so I never knew about the Belfast comic).

'UMPTY: my only guess at how you got your name would be libellous...'

How?

Captain Zeep is a name burbled/screamed by "the Attorney" in a drug crazed rant in Hunter S. Thompson's fabulous "Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas". I would give you the quote but, along with The Third Policeman and the first Hitchhikers Guide, it has been lent out many moons ago never to be retrieved - all really good books get lent on and lent on ad infinitum in my experience, it's just one of those things and you're not allowed to get upset about it.

satchmo is a wallscrawler in Unamerican Graffiti,one of the best Dredd stories ever.it was also my "tag" in the *ahem* Chopper for Oz inspired scrawlwar at our school.(it was fairly pathetic,and we had to sand the desks down when caught)

DavidXBrunt · 01 March, 2003, 04:49:20 AM

Oooh, a signed Jock Hellblazer would be just lovely.

I'll send my address right now.

Queen Firey-Bou · 01 March, 2003, 05:35:34 AM

but but, uncle umpty...that was too obvious? i assumed it was a far more deeply double depthly meaningful umpty. like the one in f.w.blog's book on starbase 5, which inspired the great ump trilogy, plagerised by the german author helmut von blogs in his 'overlord of the umpt stars' graphic novella, hitherto only published live at the transylvanian comic convention of 1987.....or something like what i know knothing about, i know about Umpty candy of course...
was there such a thing as Umpty bagging ? or did the nether regions of my brain just invent that ?

DavidXBrunt · 01 March, 2003, 06:09:22 AM

Yeah, Bou. The Umpty Baggers were one of the 'Mega-City Rackets'

Bolt-01 · 01 March, 2003, 01:53:28 PM

Uncle: When you asked about the origins of XIMOC, I had the lovely image of Mike Moran seeing the magic word appear in Larksmere. Thanks for that, I'll have to re-read those soon.

Rotts is a shortened version of my Birth (I'm not a maiden) Surname. It is kinda soppy so I won't explain.

Dave6795 is(was) just my works extension.

Sorry Bou - you obviously confused me with someone with hidden depths and intelectual wit...

I am in fact very shallow...

BTW I only have a few issues of the original printed fanzine 'ximoc'.

Is there anyone out there who can get me copies/photocopies of any of them?

Buddy · 02 March, 2003, 04:31:44 AM

Sorry Dr. X, can't help you out there.

I can only suggest entering the competitions on ximoc, remember, you can enter as often as you like and a new Titan books comp will be running in a few days.
