It took me a while, but the penny finally dropped. It's that kind of STD.

It's like Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea never wrote The Illuminatis! Trilogy.

Sorry to hear about your situation, DDD. Also yours, TB, and your folks'.

I've recently had to work alongside a chap who immediately started decrying masks and banging on how the public has fallen for the Covid thing 'hook, line and sinker' (the pandemic exists but it doesn't kill anyone, apparently), talking as if I already agreed with him. I assured him I didn't and wore my mask constantly, keeping well away from his stupid infectious face, then decided I'd work in the evening when he wasn't there. And nor was anyone else working there for that matter - one of the few benefits of self-employment.

Aw, sorry to hear that, Bolt. I don't know much about hamsters but I believe that's a good long lifespan in hamster years.

The Scream / Misty special will always have a particularly spooky appeal for me - I'd just had a nightmare about some evil global organisation with a three-armed swastika as a symbol, then woke up and immediately read a story in the first issue that featured exactly that.
Sounds like you had a bad dream about Isle Of Man supremacists - the worst kind of Nazis.
Man, I've been there. (On a family holiday when I was about 14.) I've seen what those people are capable of.

General / Re: So did Dredd's Uniform actually change?
« on: 18 October, 2020, 02:09:21 PM »
There was that
I remember a McCarthy Dredd (can't remember the name but it was about a masseuse with a pychopathic second personality) where a female tech or possibly med judge is wearing a tiny miniskirt with fishnets. Dream on, Brendan! I do love his Dredd though; it was a brave move to radically change the uniform so much.
I'm particularly fond of McCarthy's flared design.
And when it comes to support judges - techs, meds etc - artists just go wild on those, they're never the same twice, and some of those are awesome

Is this one any use?

EDIT - though it does seem to be a Kev Walker Mean Machine, not a Jock one. You could always get one printed yourself here (which is where I got some Dredd plates printed for a forum Advent Calendar competition.

General / Mentions of 2000ad in other media

I know there's another thread about this, but I just can't find it. If any mod feels like merging this, I'll be more than happy, but no worries either way.
Anyway i was listening to Adam Buxton's very enjoyable Ramble Book audiobook, and he mentions that he hung round with Zac Sandler at school, who would later be a 2000ad contributor - I didn't immediately recognise the name but I recognise his work now i see it.
And Eric Bradbury made him into a droid! https://britishcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Zac_Sandler
Sandler apparently used to write, animate and act for the Adam and Joe Show too. Between him, Louis Theroux and of course Joe Cornish, that was quite an impressive small group of schoolmates Adam had there. Must be shite being the one or two lads from the gang who didn't make it to comics, telly and film.

I've contacted the droids who look after the shop anyway. Hopefully they'll get back to me tomorrow.

Been trying that - no luck, sadly, or on my phone. Think a quick email might be in order.

Also I loved Scream as a kid. My mother wasn't quite so chuffed when she flicked through it.
