Just a handy one-stop thread for any news, gossip and previews coming out of Dreddcon VI.

Enjoy the day, everyone!

at the moment...folk are drinking...and slagging off bad stories....at bars...in oxford... - reuters

At the moment I'm just popping some headache tablets and drinking coffee.

[YT-2]

At the moment I'm not in Oxford, or even in England for that matter.

I'm in Belfast, in work and pissed off that I'm not at Oxford.

Over here in scenic Fairfield, Dreddcon VI has led to me reading this thread

yours irrelevantly

Link: what you're missing

I'm back home already.  To be honest, I went with the idea that Shedcon was the main event, with the Dreddcon venue being a comfy place to kill time for the designated driver (Thinky) to get it together.  That said, Brendan McCarthy gave an excellent interview to Gavin Hanley (who looked as though he might actually have bowed as he introduced him) and I was glad I got to see it.

I bought a few bits and bobs, met a few more boarders, was socially inept on at least three separate occasions and felt fleeced by the Eurobar- but generally had a good time.  Part of me wishes we'd stayed a bit longer because it was a really nice atmosphere and I didn't get to talk to a lot of people that I wanted to- so maybe I'll stay over on Saturday night as well next year.

Apologies to anybody I was rude to- especially anyone who is thinking of moving to Glasgow.

;)

What did you win?

VERY relaxed affair - kinda like Dreddcon 2 - with figures down quite a bit.
Not a prob though as the queues for sketches were pretty small, there was no bustling over the artwork and the pound a pint lasted a bit longer.
Great talk by Bryan Talbot, with some real "doh, why didn't spot that" points. Best being that Rupert appears in every panel in his annuals. Top bloke.
Ta to the Droids for the sketches and the natters. Just a shame there was no group photo this time.

Couple more things:
Was Bisley actually ever there?
Kind of gutted not to get a sketch from Glenn Fabry but he upped and went to his panel just before me and Bolt got to him.
Saw him again later at the bar but he was a bit, ahem, "wobbly" by then so didn't bother asking.
Also chuffed to finally get one of these - and for only 20 quid!

yeah, i failed to get a sketch from fabry the time i met him, instead of a queue he had a pile of sketch books in front of him a mile high,
me ? part from my sketch book ?  eh ow.  had a nice chat & watched him work, but he was a bit intimidating, & later, was on the drams with Bisley, which was a seriously scary combo...and yet, comic artist heros heaven .

I was at the bar after the portfolio session, next to Mr Fabry. He tapped me on the shoulder and asked me for my sketch book, then he drew the saint of Killers for me (which was a delight to watch) Shame you never got a pic MangaMax.

Bolt-01

I got a sketch from Glenn. I have the unfortunate habit of asking for "Anything really. Something from 2k. Whatever you want to draw" which usually gets the response of "...er, not, it's easier if you give me a clue how to fill the page" which is what happened with Glenn. So I said "Slaine, perhaps?" and got the reply "Ah, I've done 900 Slaines already today. Can I draw...a duck. Can I draw a duck...wearing Judge Dredds helmet?" I said yes and the sketch got more and more elaborate. It was just the ducks head but then he wanted to add the shoulder pads so he could draw a little duck on his shoulder, then he wanted to draw the duckmaster. then big MacMahon style boots but for webbed feet. It's brilliant.

Colin MacNeil told us what he's drawing next but I'll leave that for Pete Nagle to unveil, cause he got a sketch of it. My expressed fondness of Devlin and my later suggestion that Alan Barnes could perch on my knee whilst I flick through the Devlin artwork that Colin was selling at a ridiulous price may have given Colin the wrong impression of me.

Speaking of MacNeil artwork I was afreaid to ask how much he charged per page as I knew I couldn't afford it. Better not to be tempted. It was lovely though. Luscious colours, great composition, lovely characterwork, sumptuous atmosphere. In the bar afterward Dan Kelly showed me the pages he's bought and I asked how much they'd been. Apparantly I did a Terry Jones style double take and if I'd had a drink would have spluttered it out everwhere. I was expecting three figure minimun. ?30 a page! I was gutted to have missed my chance. And then Dan spotted Colin about to leave, portfolio in hand...I'm a happy man now.

Next months Meg sees the return of one of the following villains - The Sovs, The Kleggs, The Dark Judges, The Judda, Chopper, Stan Lee, Mean Machine, The Angel Gang, Satanus, or the Don Uggie Apelino mob. All of whom feature on a great Dylan Teague cover which you can buy from him as a signed print, it's really, really good. New Meg cover logo next month, too.

Bryan Talbot's Alice In Sunderland has about 5 months work left on it, it should be out next month. ?300 pages worth. There's also a new edition of Luther Arkwright coming with super funky cleaned up artwork.

I won a page of Jock art. Made the madest pitch of the day (Mr Irving filmed it on his phone, and the guy filming all the panels filmed me to.)
Went to the pub and chatted for ages to WR Logan, and then to Boo. Bryan Talbort asked if i was going to be at Brighton and was going to be looking forward to seeing me there if I was. I then went to a night club with all the young creative types and got bought two vodka shots by Jock, and watched the creatinve types dance. I tried to film the arm wrestles, but it was all black on my camera :(

So yeah, a great night! :D

Next year I mean. Obviously Bryan can't do 5 months work in one. Though he is a godlike genius.

Holy frag on a stick! That's the cover for the next meg!?

Wow, I fell in love with that print as soon as I saw it but didn't realise it was the cover.

The Colin McNeil next project certainly is exciting - and made Captain Skank damn near have an orgasm when he heard it - and will be enough to get me buying the Meg again i reckon.

Oooh, that's probably not the one I meant but it's bloody exciting just the same. The one I was referring to...well...it's a confirmation of a rumour.

Oh, be enigmatic then. Guess we'll have to wait for the sketch

Bollocks! And all I could think to ask him for was a Slaine!!!!!!

Let's have a look at it then Bolt.

Main news I heard was that Alan Barnes has resigned.

...unless that's just a rumour?

Dud --

I really hope you're taking the piss...

"I tried to film the arm wrestles, but it was all black on my camera "

Thank God for that...I was thrashed. I must publicly acknowledge that ( mis-quoting Stan Lee, somewhat ) 'Jock is the strongest one there is!'. My arms are still aching today. Rob Williams, though...pah! Lightweight! :-)

Thanks to everyone who chatted, asked for a sketch and was generally splendid company during the day.

SimonC

phew...again..glad i wasnae there, would have been compelled to demonstrate my superior wo-mannly macho crapo wrestling technique.. which means getting thrashed everytime & squeeeling like the puny girl i deny being.

will you teases' give us proper news & stop with the smug rumour mungererereing?

A very pleasant weekend all told.

Genuinely surprised by the low turnout for Shed. However it meant most everyone who entered the raffle went away with multiple prizes ;D Finally caught up with an old art school friend I met briefly two years ago at Dreddcon 4. (if yer reading this Paul- good luck with those scores) Even when the opportunity to meet other boarders presented itself, I still found myself getting boozy with the usual suspects. Over all too soon.

A combination of too much alcohol and very little sleep led to a few instances on the Saturday where I made heavy weather of the simplest of social interactions. Apologies.

Well done Gary for winning Pitchfest. Max's "Banana Love" entry has to be heard to be believed!

Thanks to Logan for the Halo Jones GN. Thanks to Rufus for the page of Henry's Shakara- a unique anniversary present Mary is very pleased with and special thanks to LMS and his parents for giving us a place to stay at such short notice late Saturday night, when a hundred or so miles to Leeds was just too far to drive safely.

SOH hint in the sketch room taken with good grace ;)

Cheers, Ol

'Rob Williams, though...pah! Lightweight! :-) '

I resent that. I also resent getting thrashed the way I did... twice.

Cue a year of intensive right arm only weight work ready for the rematch.

But I have so litte time to sculp my guns...

Actually, screw panels, sketchings and signings. Next year just do a knock-out creator arm-wrestling tournament throughout the day.

The breakdancing episode was the very bizarre highlight, led by the glorious funk shapes of Boo 'Al Swearengen' Cook. Did anyone else see Dom Reardon do a head-spring on the dancefloor, or was that the alcohol?

Rob

feel my might, williams!!! my guns now have 'deep burns....'
dom did indeed so a head spring too. he has hidden skillz.

good to see everyone! cheers to all who waited too long in my queue whilst i deliberated over drawings, a big thanks to rebellion for looking after us, and a massive thankyou to rufus for the page from carlos.

also, i slept with al ewing. never forget that.
jock

This macho arm-based foolery is nonsense compared to the dance throwdown that almost destroyed Oxford with the force of a nuclear bomb.

(Also, Dom-2 is some kind of martial arts master or something. He can do 'things beyond your puny imagination' allegedly.)

the funniest part was when we lef thte club and Dom was 'good bye you all, i love you all' and then Jock came back to the group to say the cabby wouldn't take them. hahaha, ahh, you had to be there i supose

Scottie: Keep an eye on the sketch thread...

Bolt-01

oh oh, what about that time the guy who was angry at losing a pound in the fruit machine asked Al Ewing, John Spelling and me to go back into the club and trash it? hahaha

"I'm not being funny, mate, but you and me, we've got long hair, and people with long hair are a bit special and different, aren't they, like not part of the herd? Now come on, let's maim us a bouncer etc."

he also said 'people with short hair are all the same! hay look police, i'm gonna slap them!' and ran off towards them.

A great weekend - thanks to everyone I met, especially thinky, JEB and LMS for the floor space Friday night.

Genuinly sorry to have missed out on the club on Saturday but I jest wasn't in that frame of mind.  As it was I missed my bus by two minutes getting lost within the Eurobar and had to pay a tenner rather than wait an hour.  Arm wrestling sounded fun.

Max as certainly got a great pitch technique, if he can couple that with a real script he'll blow everyone away ;) Unless Frazer was recording the pitch to use in lieu of a Script that is...

Oh and Colins extrememly cheap art has gone down a storm back home.  So that's another plus.

See y'all in Brighton...

Dan

Top weekend, with my non-booze related highlight being Bryan Talbot's excellent talk. Much drink-related tomfoolery, and the great Alan/Simon debate will surely rage for many years to come. For some reason I kept bumping into Dom in toilets, I'm sure this was a totally innocent coincidence though.

Rumour has it there was a bit of a pagga at the afternoon panel, which I missed cos I was queuing for sketches. Did anyone see this and can they elaborate?

Dud --

I really hope you're taking the piss...

Not according to about half a dozen different sources at the event ...

Well, that's a damn shame.

Alan Barnes has helmed the Meg through a real renaissance, and put it in a position where it is now the best it's been since it first launched. If he does leave, he'll be leaving the Meg in a fine position, but it'll still be sad to see him go.

Not quite the news I'd hoped for!

Well, as far as being a Meg reader goes, it would be a shame if true.  It's gone from a magazine that I really didn't have any interest in, to a must have handy companion to 2000AD.

Anyway, if it is true, best of luck to him.

"...thinky, JEB and LMS for the floor space Friday night"

You could've slept on my face and I doubt I'd have noticed...

Ugh.

Great to meet some new people as well as chatting to old friends.

Highlights

Best rumour evah goes to the Simon Spurrier one... his reaction to it when I told him back to him was priceless...

Oh and I now look on Molcher in a completely different light given the relevations regarding his reading tastes... who would have thunk it.

The Talbot talk and doing my best not to gush when I was talking to him in the bar.

Outing Viggo as a ponce for having a cig case.

Insulting Jock ... then gushing.

The two nutters in the pub.

Frazier's insight into things I don't think I can really discuss in public

Hang on... no fight this year?

Oh and seeing History of Violence with Art on Sunday (recommended)

I'm sure I read you won the pitchfest gary, is this so?  

If it is, well done, for beating Art in the number of stories drawn, 3-2, 3-2, 3-2... 3...2...

Heh, sorry.

Big thank you to all of you guys and girls who came down to Dredd Con on Saturday - especially Logan who helped out all day long.

Robo K33F

Okay enough hints...Colin MacNiels next projuct to be published is going to Shimura (coming very soon) but the one I was hinting at is...Fiends of the Eastern Front with David Bishop.

>I'm sure I read you won the pitchfest gary, is this so?

Well I'm obviously too modest to mention it ... but it was a hightlight as well

And I forgot reading the latest epic from the deranged mind of Al Ewing just before I crashed on Sat night ... The Rise and Fall of Dr Risenfall is utter genius, hep-cats.

"Shall I use my evil for good or evil?"

Ah yes- the nutter in the pub.  I started off well- replying only with the odd non commital grunt here and there (because contrary to popular belief, I don't really like to offend people), but as more boarders arrived, I suddenly found myself shunted well and truly onto the other table and practically on my own with the bloke.  He offered me his paper to read (the Mirror) and engaged me in discussion about the wrongness of Ian Huntley, before progressing to "of course I've been inside meself like..."

And Gary was actually asking me why I wanted to go and eat in MacDonalds as opposed to in the bar.  Next to the nutter.

>And Gary was actually asking me why I wanted to go and eat in MacDonalds as opposed to in the bar. Next to the nutter.

Now I see the logic...

Earlier Brunt had left me alone with him. He started arguing with the newspaper... rather loudly...

Oh and whilst I was in the queue for the chip van (and before you start Timson I was only after a can of pop) I got talking to two South Africans... one of which turned out to be mind-blowingly rasict. Apprently the Apartied times were the 'glory years' and they should have 'shot some more of the black bastards'. And yes the bloke manning the chip wagon was black...

LOL!

How do you know said "nutter" wasn't a board member?

Or Scojo in disguise...

- (It wasn't) Trout

Weaking out before the impromtu breakdancing competition is definately going down as my biggest regret of the event.

Yeah 'confessions of a drug-fiend' only partialy made up for missing that...

*Tsk* - news, it seems, doesn't travel nearly quickly enough! You utter bastards! There we are, Dreddcon done and dusted, time called in the Oxford Union bar and everyone says let's go to the Three Goats' Heads...

Not a bastard one of you guys says "look out for that nutter Johnny Eyebrows got stuck with last night - you can't miss him: white hair, crutches, pile of newspapers..."

So we're in the pub, there are thirty comic book idiots queueing for a bar with two bar staff and no-one's sitting down, and this bloke says "I'll move up onto this little table, you lot can have the booth". So I sit down and thank the guy. We get chatting. 10 minutes go by. Not another bloody sod sits down.

"What, you're all into comics then? What, Judge Dredd? No, that really doesn't interest me. The Daily Star used to print a daily Judge Dredd strip? I didn't know that and I don't care. I only bought it because it had a story about Ian Huntley and how he's going to live in luxury in Broadmoor after what he did...", etc.

After 30 minutes I take my leave of him. You utter, utter bastards!

Heh... to make matters worse, after leaving the pub to get away from the bloke, I almost walked out of MacDonalds and straight into the bloke again as he was passing.  Fortunately, I clocked him out of the corner of my eye and did a none too subtle U-turn straight back into MacDonalds...

He's clearly a proffesional nutter and more than capable of getting a conversation by fair means or foul. Later on when no-one was willing to talk he pulled out a mouth organ and played until he was asked about it.

In actual news -

Red Seas 3 and 4 are going to be part of one long story and there are going to be more tangenital tales such as a contemporary story about researchers who are trying to prove that the pirates adventures actually happened cause they're too outlandish to be believed.

"Outing Viggo as a ponce for having a cig case."

I clawed that from the dead fingers of my granddad's corpse in the trenches of Verdun, I'll have you know!

Anyway, I thought you then went on to say that I was only the second best dressed person in the world?

"I'll probably be apologising to people in the morning."

Yeah, right!

I liked the point when Timson kept pointing out that I had the same bag that he used to have (except in black). I think this is shortly before he told me that he would hunt me down and kill me if I keyed his car, but would be quite philosophical if I beat him up.

Pete clearly wins the award for 'Most Incomprehensibly Stoned Philiosophical Gibberish' - one day the Alans and Simons will be supplanted, and Als shall rule the Earth.

I wonder if those pictures of Molcher will ever make an apperance?

Also enjoyed DXB's constant offending/apologising to our waiter in the Chinese restaurant on Saturday night. Also, his put down of the former Mini-Bolt has to rank as one of the main highlights for me.

>I clawed that from the dead fingers of my granddad's corpse in the trenches of Verdun, I'll have you know!

And as I told you it only counts it there's a dent in it where the bosche bullet richocetted of it...

>Anyway, I thought you then went on to say that I was only the second best dressed person in the world?

'Second Best Dressed Person In Comics' second to the mighty Dom Reardon...

"And as I told you it only counts it there's a dent in it where the bosche bullet richocetted of it..."

What's wrong with the crimson splash of honest Tommy blood?

"'Second Best Dressed Person In Comics' second to the mighty Dom Reardon..."

But he wasn't even wearing a tie...!

>But he wasn't even wearing a tie...!

The day you turn up as Rupert the Bear then I'll think about it...

"'Second Best Dressed Person In Comics' second to the mighty Dom Reardon..."

That's D'Israeli, innit?

No, not really...

"...I think this is shortly before he told me that he would hunt me down and kill me if I keyed his car, but would be quite philosophical if I beat him up."

I probably get that kind of logic from my gran: she'd forgive you deliberately burning the house down, but fuck help you if you forget to wipe the bath down after use...

And I *have* got that bag- and I've never known anyone else to own the same one in the eight years that I've had it.  I think that's pretty fucking amazing, actually.

Fortunately, we don't share the same taste in shoes.

;)

Great to see everybody there.
A truly splendid weekend.
Thanks to Laurence and Simon for the pages I got from you, now I shall steal all your techniques! MwuHaHaHaaah!!!
Boo Cook is the Don Diego of Disco.

Right, I'm, off to finish a page in the new cubicle I've set up... in Pete's Toilet...

Dom-2

"Fortunately, we don't share the same taste in shoes."

You wish you had shoes like mine...

Didn't Wilkinson threaten to "batter me" for refusing to admit that 'Death on the Staircase' was a modern televisual classic?

And why were people constantly trying to get ?5 off me?

>Didn't Wilkinson threaten to "batter me" for refusing to admit that 'Death on the Staircase' was a modern televisual classic?

I think I may have expressed mild surprise at your not seeing that it was a pretty good series.

But it was good to agree with someone (One of the Breathing Space guys?) that The Wire is just about the best thing evah.

"Right, I'm, off to finish a page in the new cubicle I've set up... in Pete's Toilet..."

Don't take the piss Dom!

Don't get me started on The Wire...!

I just borrowed S1 of the Wire off a mate, I couldn't believe that a channel over here hasn't picked it up. At the least The Shield made it onto C5...

- Steve

So, now that my boss has gone on a long lunch I can relate my experience of Dreddcon ...

Definitely quieter this year, though moving the sketching upstairs so that downstairs was less crowded made a lot of sense. Sad to not see any masterclasses, but the interview with Sir McCarthy was excellent and the Pitchfest (what little I saw of it) wasas painful as ever.

Friday night was a joy - mainly because there were so many rounds of the raffle - but also because I got to chat to lots of people I haven't seen since Bristol or last Dreddcon (sheesh, has it been a year already?!?!). Great to chat to Arthur, DXB, Logan, Byron, Gary, Jock (briefly)

Highlight of the weekend was seeing Matt Smith actually wearing the halo made out of glow sticks that I made for him ... for at least five minutes, while chatting to Sprout. He even posed for a photo. If he wasn't the editor of 2000AD, he'd be a choir boy ... bless. (oh, and Dankell has the photos ...)

Saturday was nice and great to meet everyone - though sorry I didn't get the chance to say bye to everyone! We weren't sure whether we were going to stay an extra night or not, in the end we left only to realise we were all too tired and ended up having to stay at my mum and dad's lest we fall victim to FIREY MOTORWAY DEATH!!!

And excellent weekend that was a real tonic.

Cheers to all and hope to see a lot of you at Brighton!!

>I couldn't believe that a channel over here hasn't picked it up.

It's been on some obscure cable channel apprently

I think it's on (or has been on) the same channel that shows Carnivale...

It's on FX Tuesdays 10pm. Tonight, in fact, if anyone has Sky. You can get season 1 on DVD and season 2's on its way.

Rob

Bah! I meant proper telly :)

My mate already has S2 on Region 1 DVD, just need to borrow it off him. I think it works better that way anyway, it's not exactly the sort of thing you can afford to skip an episode.

Carnivale's another one I want to see...

Cheers

- Steve

Carnivale kept my interest for the 1st series, but knowing it ends after series 2 (it was not supposed to) put me off, so I only watched the first one of the new series.

The Sopranos on the other hand....now that's worth watching from the beginning, several times over.

Season 2 is out in a couple of weeks...

Y'know Mark, that's the first sensible thing I've ever read in your usual Welsh babblings.

Not at all sure what this has to do with news from Dreddcon, but I don't know what Carnivale is, and I have never watched a single episode of The Sopranos.

The news I got from Ian Edgington was that he and D'Israeli were going to start work on the sequel to Scarlet Traces once they are don with the online War of the Worlds.
He even showed me some of the art for it and it was fantabulous!
Dunno where/who is going to publish, but as Scarlet Traces cropped up in the Meg I'm hopeful.

Dark Horse are publishing it.

Well I survived my first Dreddcon.

Like I do here I pretty much lurked not really knowing what was supposed to happen. I was in a black tracky top with a huge sketch pad if that helps anyone place my face.

I was slightly confused by the format of the day despite having a schedule of events. I think I was expecting Tharg to swing open the doors welcoming us to Dreddcon before telling us what to expect from the day. As it was it was a bit of a free for all.

I bought loads of back issues which was good. I bought a copy of Zarjaz 0 which on the journey from Oxford to Scarborough I lost. I listened to Bryan Talbot for a bit. Queued next to David X Brunt,Finigan Sinister and Mini-Bolt for sketches. Saw a HUGE VC spoiler. Went to the pub for lunch with my wife and baby girl. She wanted to get a photo of Kitty with Tharg but didn't recognise the Mighty One! She thought the girl who had come dressed as Venus Bluegenes was Tharg's girlfriend. I had to laugh.

I returned after lunch to basically queue for more sketches before having to leave at 4.30 after my wife had reached comic convention overload.

I would loved to have known who more of the faces there were.

Who was the man with the 2000ad diary in the queue for Jock who was trying to get it signed by all the artists in it? He also had a stainless steel role playing game.

Who were the bald headed twins?

Who was the man talking loudly about the fact that no fiction exists in Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

A good time was had by me.

 

Who was the man talking loudly about the fact that no fiction exists in Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

Hey, I was NOT talking loudly! There weren't many people in the room and it had gone quite quiet by then...

;-)

That'll be the Turner Twins, Jon and Steve, too of the nicest blokes you could meet!
:-) Rufus

House of Usher.You're quite right it had emptied a lot by then. Everyone was starting to look tired and emotional.

Rufus,Do the Turner Twins log on here at all.

Are they the twins that were showing their art at Bristol?

If so, they are very good.

Here's another League of Extraordinary conundrum. I read a comment in print that in Alan Moore's version of H.G. Wells's Martian invasion, the Nautilus takes the place of the ironclad Thunderchild.

This is plainly wrong. Firstly, Alan Moore took great pain to appear to integrate every fictional narrative into his League comics, so the War of the Worlds narrative would have been compromised by excising Thunderchild from it; and secondly, the Nautilus was protecting central London from the Martian fighting machines, and was too far up the Thames to have taken the place of Thunderchild, which would have been engaging the enemy much further downriver at some point on the coast.

I'm glad to have cleared that one up...

Alan Moore took great pain to appear to integrate every fictional narrative into his League comics

Acording to League Mina, she & her husband didn't have any further intimate relations after the Dracula incident... but at the end of the book, she & J Harker have a son.

Oh.

Tee hee

:)

Anyway, the presence of Captain Nemo's Nautilus doesn't presuppose the absence of Thunderchild, regardless of what the unnnamed commentator I referred to may think.

No, absolutely.

Moore did cover a lot of ground to get the fictional histories correct in League - but he did change some bits to fit his own vision.

As Moore himself admits, since a number of the dates didn't match so he had to jumble things around a bit (and if you want to be really pedantic, Dr. Moreau doesn't have a first name).

However, I'm inclined to agree with HoU on this one, so Nuuurr!

Now back to Dreddcon...

Slightly more unrelated news, it appears that FutureQuake #3 is up as a PDF on the FutureQuake site now... so if you failed to grab a copy when I was selling it very half-heartedly at the last Dreddcon, or snag a copy in some other way, here's your chance to get it for free.

Oh, and #5 looks like it's going to be very good.

Link: http://www.futurequake.co.uk/fq/archives/issue3.sh

Did no-one go to the "2000ad and beyond" panel??

As far as I can tell nobody did...

What did happen there involving Gelnn Fabry? And why will nobody speak of it?

It's all very sinister...

I went.  Glenn Fabry turned into Robert Carlyles character from Trainspotting and grabbed Disreali and head butted him....

Seriously I cant think of anything that happened!

Slips

Bolt kept following Fabry round in a particularly suspect and amusing way. For a time it was getting a bit like Misery, though...

Oh, and FutureQuake #5 is indeed very good - those who want a copy of issue 1-3 can get one of them free with every pre-order.
