Hi From London

BadlyDrawnKano · 18 May, 2023, 01:25:26 PM

Just thought I'd say hello, it seems insane that I've not been a member here for years as I've been a big 2000AD fan ever since I was 12 years old (which was 36 years ago!). I've been in a very nostalgic mood recently too, I've just finished rereading all of Nemesis, and am currently reading from the Judge Dredd CaseFiles from the beginning (and am up to Volume Four) and Strontium Dogs Agency Files no.1.

p.s. regular (three or four times a year) Southern Contingent meetups occur at a central London pub - usually near Covent Garden. We'll probably have to wait a few months until the next one.

Welcome aboard. Hope London and a nostalgia filled catch up is treating you well.

I'm a terrible artist but I like playing around with photoshop so you never know.

Hey! No one offered me any Japanese porn when I joined the forum!

(Begrudgery aside, glad to have you, BadlyDrawnKano. Excellent username.)

Thank you, it's based on a true story as in my early teens I'd spend so long trying to draw Kano, Dredd and various other characters, but despite my best efforts they never turned out well!

The perils of skim-reading in a break - I was left wondering how trying to draw Kano and Dredd ended in Japanese porn, then decided to re-read the comments...

Which we never hear about any more since Burdis left the forum. I really enjoyed the one I attended - any chance you could flag 'em up here when they come around for folks who hate facebook?

a confusing comment once the spam-porn post has been removed, took me a while to figure out!.

Shall try to remember to do that! Also the South-Eastern Contingent meetups (in Cambridge).

I'd definitely be up for a meet if I can make it, and have been to a good few on another forum in the past, but which Facebook group is it? It's just that I took a brief look and there seemed to be quite a few devoted to 2000AD.

I found myself unable to post for a few days and I think I've realised why as in the "What are you reading?" thread I posted a review of a graphic novel by Kelly Sue DeConnick that has an unpleasant description of a female in the title (even though the book is a satire of patriarchy and massively pro-feminism, and something I loved a lot). And I was just wondering, are there any other words which I should avoid typing? I'm obviously aware of standard swear words and have no urge to use them (well, apart from when describing the tabloid press!), but hadn't considered the word I used to be that offensive, so if there are others like that it'd be really appreciated as I've already become very fond of this place even though I've only been here a short time.
