When Brett Ewins died I was very upset and talked about it at work. I worked with a couple of Comic fans at the time but most of my colleagues aren't...

In one discussion with one mate we naked a few other artists that really affected our early reading. Steve Dillon was mentioned.

So I wrote a list. I put names down as I thought of them. At first just spread round a sheet of paper. Most influential near the top and lesser ones lower down. In the end I had 11 names at the top. Steve Dillon was there.

I showed the list to a colleague.  11 names. Told him to imagine one of the starting 11 from his dream football team had died. He shook his head as he realised why me n  my friend were so devastated at losing the talent of Brett Ewins.

Now Steve Dillon.

It was as much his Dr Who work as his 2000AD work that inspired me. Abslom Daak will ever be one of my favourites. It was a thrill spotting him in a TV episode. And of course Rob Williams & Si Spurrier brought him back in their Dr Who.

Steve Dillon was a star. I never met him. Conventional wisdom states you should never met your heroes. Not true, those of my heroes I have met have only enriched the experience. I regret never meeting Steve Dillon.

Aye, Colin, losing a trusted friend like that is hard.

Recently lost one of my cats - Cadbury Hargett 24/05/01 to 31/08/16 - he was born under my wardrobe. His Mum, Jenny, went a couple of years ago. He was survived by his sister, Patch, from the same litter (Jenny only had one litter before everyone was neutered).

Ib watched ARQ on Netflix earlier this week. The glove doesn't actually look like the item but the effect is identical to the Electrolux. In ARQ it is more or less a glove with wires.

Of course the second I saw it I wondered if someone read Tornado or 2000AD...

There is of course that thing called coincidence. I've written things that haven't been published (haven't we all lol) and years later TV, Film or Literature 'copy' me.

I got a message online from my Daughter to tell me. She loved the Willy Wonka film as a kid.

If Rebellion were to get a Lego license I'd happily sculpt 2000AD mini-figures all day...

Loving it...

Starring a certain lost forumer's ideal Slaine  :o


Maybe T was a member of Mr Styles' publicity team and the folk casting for this film saw how often he was mentioned for roles...

Cheers Wooly.

Day by day I am improving. Though today I am extra tired for some reason.

My recovery will be slow and at times I am getting frustrated with that. But in the main it is onwards and upwards.

Stuntman, Actor, Dancer and Rodeo Star Chief David Bald Eagle.

His life story would make an interesting film.
