Forgot about the weekend one - but he drew Fat City for the dailies.

This one'll annoy you!

As a stereotypical posh tory arse-type, Peter St John almost certainly pronounces his surname as 'Sinjin'.
The wages of sin are death, but the hours are good and the perks are fantastic.

I don't think Zenith sounds like Rick Astley - he was a rather awkward and shy guy who had an amazing singing voice, Zenith seems more like Stefan Dennis (a soap opera actor given a record contract because that was the fashion of the time) or that bloke in the boxer shorts from that jeans advert. I think Zenith's voice is probably quite low down in the mix.

Hard to believe you're finished with Mean Team already - that seemed to drag on for a lot longer when it was in the prog at the time.

True, although I always say Saint John, since trying to make everyone pronounce it any other way is a weird reification of the mind control of the aristocracy. See also Ralph/Rafe Fiennes:

Nick Kamen (caught Madonna's eye, IIRC).


Zenith's actual voice would definitely not be uppermost!  I think of him more as a male Kylie though - because later he has that Madchester / slightly more respectable phase once KM got shot of SAW.

Yeah - it took my knowing somebody called Stjohn (first name, and who most definitely is not an aristo tory type) until I worked out how Peter's name is pronounced!

The McCarthy concepts in the back of the collected editions describe him as a mixture of Morrisey and Nick Kamen.

Haha, thanks! That's a classic line from the Malak Blood story!

Thanks Steve - I can see both influences.
