Shako - Armoured Gideon - Sir Francis Bacon - err...Kevin Bacon

I'm trying to think of some kind of mad crossover with Slaine. Was he in Helter Skelter?

*applause*

(Actually - historical figures from The Order might provide a hook into Slaine's world via his Quantum Salmon Leap adventures in time.)

He was indeed - the only Ezquerra Sláine I've ever seen, I think.

There was also the Sinister Dexter episode (prog 2013 ad???) Were the skip through numerous dimensions.

Sinister Dexter, Now & Again, Xmas Prog 2012 - has Dredd, Nikolai Dante, Johnny Alpha, Wulf & Gene the Hackman.

So, for Slaine: he is in Helter Skelter with Dredd, who is in Now & Again with Gene, who is in Shako's Kingdom with Shako. Three degrees of Shako.

The real key is the episode from prog 1642, which has about as many cameos on one splash page as the whole of Helter Skelter.

Thanks, DJ - I'd forgotten about that so went rummaging in the back prog dimension - that places the following characters in Sinister Dexter (Wish You Were Here):

Nemesis, Robo-Hunter, Devlin Waugh, Hoagy, Ace Garp, Alpha, Gronk, Bill Savage, Rogue, Dredd, Hammerstein, a V.C., Ro_jaws, Kano, Halo, Slaine, Skizz, Dante, that woman from that story about driving fast, Big Dave and four characters I don't recognize (two with their faces obscured).

So, you can do Slaine in Wish you Were Here with Bill Savage, who's in The Collector with Shako. Two degrees of Shako.

Seems to have boiled down to almost any character being two degrees of Shako. Except for ... The Grudge-Father, and other impossibilities.

So Helter Skelter, The Collector and Wish You Were Here have basically broken the game?  :-X

I'm not sure that Tharg should count. He makes things too easy.

Is it just me or does Ardeni have a severe wardrobe malfunction going on there?

I don't know what you're wearing but that's pretty canon for Ardeni ;)

Here's a good spot to once more suggest that the polar bear in Meltdown man is played by the same bear as Shako, like how the bear in the Disney Jungle Book and Robin Hood are also the same bear.

Pole Axe.  I can never remember the name of the bear from Lenny Zero though.

Shuggy Bear, I find out from the British Comics Wiki.  I also found out there's a wanted posted for Shako in the background of one episode...
