Things that went over your head...

[BPP]

These are all good things.

Belardinelli also gave us the catwoman in Meltdown Man eating her own clothes.

It's a whole other level to two tramps eating shoe leather.

See also Fabry's Medb, establishing shot, prog 502. Dearie me.

Well, absolutely, though even that scene with its blatant eroticism was wasted on 11-year-old me at the time.  Even Belardinelli had her skinny-dipping after her 'rescue' from the Wicker Man.  The brief for artists seems to be 'don't worry about how anyone else drew her, just make teenage lads feel a bit funny'.

Unless, and until, someone posts up actual pictorial evidence, of such filth and smut appearing in the Galaxy's Greatest comic, then I can not believe that it actually happened. (That this would save me hours of having to scour through all my back progs, is neither here nor there.

Here is the establishing shot in question.


And here is Medb in the wickerman, getting more shameless by the artist.


2000AD in the eighties - a stranger to decency.

Not showing up for me, I'm afraid.

When The Horned God came along, of course, we weren't even doing the 'conveniently-placed shadows and scenery' thing to preserve her modesty any more.  Which was great news for all readers (or at least for 14-year-olds in a country where even shredded hedge-porn was a rarity).

Damn. I'm new to this posting pictures business. Have the pictures in any of my recent posts been visible?
As for the relevant Sláine shots, you will find them in a pamphlet I will be distributing next Saturday, inveighing against depraved entertainments such as comics, strong drink, and dancing outside of holy wedlock.

[M.I.K.]

They were showing up earlier. Now they're not.

[JohnW]

But Paddykafka was depending on me for naughty pictures!

Only to appease my inner Mary Whitehouse, that Tooth really was as decadent as it's being made out. 

[JohnW]

Well that's an ignominious end to my smut-peddling career anyway.

News just in from Qatar; some panels / pages from 2000AD have been censored on.....The 2000AD Forum.

[JohnW]

One more try.
This is purely for the benefit of Paddykafka's – ahem – research, and to see if I've got the hang of this image posting.

So here is Fabry's Medb.


And here is the same young hussy getting more disgraceful with every artist that portrays her.


Can you see her now?
Then go and have a brisk run round the playing fields.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Now we're talking.  Never noticed Robym the friendzoned dwarf in that Fabry one of nudie Medb - he's not the first thing that catches one's eye, in fairness.

I seem to remember the Bisley one was on the same page as a fairly clear shot of Feg's non-functioning bits.

Now I'll be shunning the filth on this thread for a few minutes.

There was a lot of swinging dick in The Horned God.
From the moment they showed us M.A.C.H. 1's bare arse on Prog 1, it was inevitable that we should end up here.
I blame fluoridated water, or the end of compulsory church-going or something.

Then go and have a brisk run round the playing fields.

In the late Frank McCourt's memoir "Angela's Ashes" - which detailed his childhood experience of growing up, in the seemingly perpetually rainy, county of Limerick, here in the Emerald Isle - if one felt the need to - how shall I delicately phrase this? - unburden oneself of such, err...feelings?...was colloquially referred to as "Having The Excitement". 

Thanks and appreciation for posting that, anyway's, JWare.

To be honest - if my, admittedly faulty, recollection is anything to go by I didn't see much that there that would cause even twelve-year old me to blush. But perhaps I was a lost cause even back then, lol?
