If, like me, you've ever wondered how valid Tharg's claim that Ross is a squaxx really was, the answer lies here also*. And the backdrop is 2000ad's booth at Comicon:

* To be fair, anyone who understands it's cooler to name check Carlos for Stronty Dog than Dredd is alright by me.

I should have warned everyone that the video above contains moderate but thankfully brief scenes of John Burdis*, which some viewers may find disturbing.


* Even taking that time with Russell Brand and Manuel's answer phone into consideration, the question of whether Burdis has caused greater offence to the listening public than Ross is open to debate.

If, like me, you've ever wondered whether Jonathan Ross is really a nerd or just one of those people who likes Marvel movies, the following video settles the matter.

The vast majority of this is taken up by discussion of Micronauts (Mikooroman), but along the way we learn a lot about Oo-an McGregor and Mark Mill-AARR, too.

Cheers, enjoyed that. Always nice to see a bit of Burdis action (I miss him round here). I want to see his not-so-sneaky phone pass footage.

That was quite good, it led me to seek out the 1977 and 1994 adverts (never seen in OZ!), Zarjaz!.

The 1994 ad was seldom seen in the UK. As discussed in Thrillpower Overload (p167), Egmont spent quarter of a million on the ad then didn't have any cash left to buy airtime*.


* and bought space on channels nerdy kids didn't watch, (like Sky Sports), at a time nobody watched anyway

I was silly enough to buy all the Lawman of the Future, without any ad's to sway me  ::).

Well, judging by how quiet it is in the prog spoilers area, I'm assuming I'm not alone in the absence of this week's tooth.  Guess the bank holiday was too much for the printers.  Posties been and gone but ...

Comics laureate Dave Gibbons and Abelard Snazz-a-like Steve Fry discuss comic sound effects as onomatopoeia. He's on near the middle, but comes back at the end to lower the tone by relating how Captain America and Captain Britain use a wank for very different reasons:

I hang around at one or two other boards and I noticed that the upcoming TV show got some people interested into checking out Judge Dredd comics.So thats cool.

I was behind someone in the Newsagent who bought a Judge Dredd Megazine. The insurgency grows!
