I can't for the life of me remember where I heard it, might have been other strips - have a vague memory of someone who later became famous being a bit embarrassed about their photostrip work

Quote from: The Legendary Shark on 12 April, 2024, 01:08:01 AMThanks, John. Seriously thinking of writing some sort of something about this place...
A tempting idea, Jim, but we'd have to hire a wood-chipper. Even if we did that, Dug would probably gum up the inner doings so we'd get a bill for repairs.

I think that's a really interesting observation, because I'd make the same argument in reverse. Like, people who live on a farm in the countryside have literally said to me "we don't really have transgenderism here - it's a country farming community".
It feels like it's way more dangerous to pop your head above the parapet and say "I'm different" in a rural community. There's nowhere to hide, and people are set in their ways.
Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 06 March, 2024, 04:50:33 PMI've recently added Origins to my collection. Now, I have no idea how a non-2000ad reader would feel about it - I know what everyone in it looks like already- but I have another issue.
Dredd's voice was pretty good for the America and The Pit audiobooks - not quite as menacing as imagine it*, which is pretty much Dirty Harry - but I actually appreciated how understated it was compared to the old Toby Longworth version which I really wasn't into.
For Origins though, it was back to the 1940s gangster movie Dredd of the Judge Cal radio drama, if anyone remembers that. Not my bag at all.
*Karl Urban remains my favourite Dredd voice, along with an obscure Dredd arcade game from the 80s or early 90s.
Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 14 February, 2024, 02:16:12 PMI have a vague memory of a 2000ad strip where someone is listening to the lyrics 'to my mind she's my kind of girl', which Google tells me must be this and sounds very different in reality from how it was in my head.
Quote from: Batman's Superior Cousin on 14 February, 2024, 03:25:02 PMThe trouble is, that hardily anyone ever seems to post in some of the threads anymore.Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 14 February, 2024, 02:24:55 PMI didn't mean to suggest that nobody should ever post here any more - I have absolutely no problem with anyone paying their respects here to a person who had a genuine impact of one kind or another on their lives, and I'm happy to read these tributary posts.
I just don't think it was ever meant to be an exhaustive list of today's deaths, which I think is a pointless and somewhat morbid use of the forum.
On other forums that I (in)frequently visit, this seems to be the exact point of similar celebrity / famous individuals condolences thread(s).
