I finished the last stage. I don't know how. I just kept pressing buttons and a ladder came out and I flew back to Clint Langley Button Moon.

How do you get past the screen with the fishing rod and the three goats?

I suppose, yes. I never noticed that the bloke in Satanus was meant to be gay, I obviously didn't pay too much attention. And now you mention it, wasn't Moloch about to do something gay to Slaine before Slaine killed him?

I don't think Pat Mills reads these posts. Anyway, the story:
Ahh, it was alright, I suppose... Dodgy dialogue (the judges at the Grand Hall sounded like very un-22nd century and very un-MegaCity teenagers, going on about goths getting their kits off and all) and Dredd wasn't well characterised, but all in all, I didn't mind it. And where did Mills slag off gays in it? I totally missed that. Also, you can't really level charges of sexism or misogyny at Mills just because women got killed in the story. I always thought he was the complete opposite, in fact to the point where his PC-ness was sometimes slightly annoying.

'Art (whether music, painting, whatever) should be made with consideration for other people on some level. Otherwise it's just masturbation.'
I couldn't agree more. There's a lot of room in society for art therapy and so on, but if you're going to exhibit something with a price on it, you can't pretend it was created purely for yourself. I went to art college too, and became very cynical before I graduated.

Big style. I draw and paint occasionally myself , and find that getting paid for it (even less occasionally) inspires me to draw and paint more, and therefore become better at it. And there's nowt wrong with that.

There used to be a lot of punks in Mega City 1. it definitely had an influence, but I think that happened well after 2000ad started and the Pistols finished. I was only 4 or so at the time myself though, and as such don't remember.

Nice one. Now I know where it comes from I won't have my mickey fit. I can't quite remember what other comics I saw the name 'Moloch' in apart from Watchmen, but I think it popped up in Armitage once too, or else that Dredd / Armitage novel.

Why are so many comic bad guys called 'Moloch'? I've seen it in at least four different comics. Even Watchmen had a Moloch, for Jaysus sakes. I read a serious article once, describing someone's arch enemy as 'his own personal Moloch' (that's all I can remember about the piece though). Who is Moloch? Where did it come from? If it pops ups again in comics I'll have a mickey fit. I will. I'll have a mickey fit.

What about that bloke from Dead or Alive? He went from man to woman to strange, spongey hosepipe-esque object sdince the 80's.

Haven't seen it, but I remember it happening for real. There was a massive police crackdown on drug-dealing for a while as a result, but unfortunately the streets are still crawling with junkies (heroin-addicts, that is, users of most other drugs in Dublin don't mug people with blood-filled syringes).
And on that cheerful note...

I went to see Ickey boy give a lecture a couple of years ago. Whilst the chap is full of dubious conspiracy theories (indeed, he couldn't fit half of what he had to say into his allotted hour or whatever), he never mentioned lizards and highlighted a lot of genuine Middle-Eastern problems that have arisen from Western dominance. That said, the man's still a mentalist - the highlight was him flicking through a series of stills, one of which was Princess Di, which he lingered on for the time it took him to say 'She was ritually sacrificed, by the way', before moving onto a drastically different topic. Also, he puts on a Brummie accent for every impression he does, whether it be of a Muslim terrorist, an American president or a British tabloid reader.

My older brother used to be a bit of a 'aunt' (as my predictive text would call it) to me, and eventually stopped bothering to talk to me when I was a teenager.
now, in our late twenties, we live in different countries but are very good mates indeed when we meet up. It does get easier.
