« Last post by Frank on Today at 01:52:29 pm »Honestly not sure whether this is something you all need to sit down for or if it's the equivalent of telling someone that Spock's mum was called T'Pau.
My excuse is that I'd never tasted a quince in the eighties, and certainly didn't know they looked a little like mishapen heads. I got the mince connection, obviously, since mince (boiled until it was grey) was the default dinner option for every Scottish mum between WWII and the fall of the Berlin wall.
Should have known; Wagner and Grant were partial to a bit of Quince. *

In the intro bumpf at the beginning it suggests that the story has not been completed to this day.
Is this correct? Is it a series that is likely to be cropping up again in the pages of 2thou? Or is it something that faded away?
The end where they disappear into a black hole? Nope, nothing else after that.

Prog / Re: Prog 2131 - The Ape of Good Hope
« Last post by Dandontdare on Today at 01:38:05 pm »well my prog finally arrived this Tuesday - along with the meg and the following week's prog all on the same day!
Excellent Dredd (including the awesome cover) - I heard an intriguing theory about who Niemand was at Lawless, and having now read this I think it's extremely plausible, but if it's true there's a very good reason why he's anonymous, so I won't share it.
Enjoying everything else in the prog, and it's a good variety of strips. Kingmaker steps out of the action for some worldbuilding, but still interesting; I'm loving Max Normal (does everybody in Dreddworld have to have an ape buddy though? It's getting a bit cliche), I especially like the design of the psychotic juvies.
Reckon I need to do that Scarlet Traces re-read as I have trouble remembering what went before, but I'm still thoroughly enjoying it.
Hard to judge the 3hriller until we can be sure it doesn't suffer from the "disappointing third part" syndrome, but a nice opener
