Ghastly McNasty

Pfffft. Looking at the Clint magazine thread I've just realised why It's called CLiNT.

Are you a fan of the Droid Life character Flick?

Isn't his name Crumbs, though...?

Now I can't remember. I was sure it was Flick.

Pretty sure he started life as Flicker (because his job was to flick eraser crumbs off the pages), and the name got changed somewhere along the line.
Dan Dare will return for a new adventure soon, Earthlets!

Reading the new Dan Brown novel , Inferno , I've just twigged that the Grice series was called Purgatory , and the Dredd follow-up was called Inferno. Both were parts of the Divine Comedy by Dante. Should there have been a third part called Paradise...
...because I hate you.

Speaking of that era . . .

The satire of Big Dave really went over my head, as a younger chap. As someone who's grown up to love stuff like South Park and Brass Eye, I really wish I was reading it for the first time now. I think I'd probably laugh quite a lot.

I hear Dan Brown novels are the only books actually allowed in Hell.  Even as the ice-entombed Satan chews forever on his head and flays his back, Judas Iscariot has to listen to the audiobook of The DaVinci Code for all eternity.  That'll learn 'im.

With a story named 'The Pit'. Unintentional irony or subtle dig?

I, Cosh

Suppose I might as well share my humiliation here for those unable to read about it elsewhere. It was only on seeing the trailer at the pictures this afternoon that I realised the title of World War Z is supposed to be a pun.

You're not American, so stop beating yourself up. Bobcat Goldthwaite's character in Police Academy 2 and the handle of Ving Rhames's rapist in Pulp Fiction prove the fuckers can't agree on the pronunciation themselves.

Err I feel really thick now for asking this but could you tell me what the pun is?  :-[

World War Zee

World War Three

I still can't bring myself to pronounce it as 'Zee' out loud though.
