Well, I wield language like a blunt spoon, but I was alluding to the fact that some folk are using the tragedy as a signal to go on a witch hunt against anyone the poor bastard slated in his final public act. (Not paying attention to the irony inherent in calling for an end to public accusations by making public accusations - except now with even less evidence than the ones they're complaining about in the first place.)

I don't see that happening here, because people have kept their powder dry here (for the most part), but I've seen it on the wider web.

Okay, there's Doyle.  Where's Bodie?

I prompted the AI thusly: "Bodie and Doyle from The Professionals, but both dressed up as a Judge from the world of Judge Dredd."

And it did this:



(Or did I just take a photo at Dounreay-Con?)

I'm so awful at Facebooking, and the Internet is such a weird place, that I just have no idea what to do with this information. I've no idea if any of it is real.

It's a bit like the Piskor thing turning into an incel cavalcade. Perhaps it's time for me to hang up my keyboard and ethernet cable. Maybe take up water colors. Or fishing.

Yes, this inventiveness and creativity has filled me with ennui, also. Bring back Brigand Doom, I say!

"Prince William becomes Great Master of the Order of the Bath."

I was going to say "they're just making this up as they go along", but then that's exactly what royalty is.

"Top c*ntributer"?

[18 - Rogue Trooper]

18 - Rogue Trooper

All of that Rogue Trooper, and only two wraparounds! And the OG Rogue is relegated to the back cover of a lesser known special. Rectify this malfeasance, Thargnanimous, Bringer of Thrills!


Prog 687's Battlefield Blues (from 1990, by Will Simpson) gives us the OG Fr1day, before it all went a bit Pete Tong.

The Rogue Trooper Action Special's Future War (from 1996, by Dave Gibbons) is something of a hydra, with Fr1day rocking the front, and Venus Bluegenes providing covering fire. Poor old OG Rogue is a ghost in the sky. (Recently, in-comic, those three characters had all met, and OG RT had suffered perma-death.) It's a bit like that inside, with two Fr1day tales, one for Venus and a colored reprint of the first RT strip from prog 228.

Next: Simons say...

[The Power of the Gods]

That's probably from prog 600's The Power of the Gods - an oddity with six color pages and two in black and white.

And back to daily log-ins.

Probably no help whatsoever (as you're talking about iPads), but if you have access to a PC, then Adobe Reader can be set up to view the PDF versions of the comic sensibly (as regards page-spreads). I have a big monitor, so I'm basically viewing the comic at print-size.

[17 - Let Them Eat Cake]

17 - Let Them Eat Cake

Only twenty progs after the big 500, we got the tenth birthday prog's celebratory cake - which was the other method of honoring prog 2000...


Prog 520's Ten Zarjaz Years! (from 1987, by John Higgins) has a pretty solid line-up of thrills on offer. This is a landmark prog as the paper quality and size made a permanent shift for the first time since the progs 110-128 high quality blip.

Prog 2000's Happy 2000th Issue, Squaxx (one of the variant covers from 2016, by Glenn Fabry and Ryan Brown) has everyone throw on a smile (which looks creepy on Dredd) - except for Cyber-Matt, who looks stressed out, and Tharg, who looks egomaniacal.

[Dredd Reckoning]

Dredd Reckoning

It's the end of days and Grud has returned to Mega City One to judge the right and wrongs doings of Judge Dredd actions and to pass judgement upon him

I figured this would happen at some point...

Yes, and be sure to keep us up to date on what your optician says.

Over eight hours now and still no update on the optician's appointment. I'm starting to think this appointment will never happen.

Not sure if Wagner really wants to rule.

Comic book market size in 2023 USD 16.05 billion. Not as much as video games and movies, but not to be sniffed at.
