Forum’s Fav Thrill - Taxidermist vs. Dry Run Rd 3 Heat 43

[Colin YNWA]

The ties in Week 6 are a bit of a mixed bag. A couple of very interesting ones that are hard to call mixed in with some very lopsided potential batterings and BOTH versions of Bill Savage making an appearance - but which will survive?

Yes Dry Run has made it to Round 3, getting a bye in Round 1 and then surprising everyone by taking out Holocaust 12 (well it was going to be a surprise whatever it got past!). Here though it meets a much stronger thrill in The Taxidermist (or as folks have rightly pointed out what should be called The Return of the Taxidermist as that was the series name) which took out Maelstrom to date. Will Dry Run finally run out of juice?

Taxidermist. Funny, absurd, compassionate, and gorgeous to look at.

Taxidermist, by miles.  Easily the best strip about an old man stuffing corpses for the Olympics ever written.

Unfortunately Dry Run has had its run. Easily The Taxidermist.

I fully intended to vote for Dry Run, a terrible story I have a soft spot for, as a sort of joke vote but I can't do it. The Taxidermist is so good.

I remain more than slightly astonished that Dry Run, pretty high on my list of "Most Terrible Thrills in the History of 2000AD", made it this far! Good riddance! :-)

(Nice art from the Hopgood droid, but the story...?! YEESH.)
