I'm disgusted that you two would cheapen this serious thread with such frivolity.

Well thank God that's over. And they were the two best teams in the world hmmm?

An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Well thats an end to the madness for another four years.....

If anyone wants to do this for the rugger next year then PM me with your bids.

Words cannot express the feelings of grief that we fanboys feel sometimes. So I say it's valid.  ;)

Oh, and... Ugandan pygmy tribe football.

Its certainly no less valid than multiple posts about football teams that no one gives a toss about being knocked out of the World Cup which were prompted by one individuals requests to not clog up this thread with comments from football fans about the death of their team when they were knocked out of the competition.

Ah, that's an awful shame.  I've only read bits of the comics; I saw the film and thought he was a really nice chap

Sad to hear about  Pekar.  I almost feel like I knew the man personally. He produced an amazing and uniquely unsettling body of work that was by turns infuriating and illuminating - it was like looking right into someone's mind, or worse, your own.

Never thought of Harvey Pekar as a nice chap myself. More of a good guy. He made it to 70 then, which I'm glad to hear, because his comic books often made you worry about his health. The best thing about his comics is that they were genuine and about something real, however ordinary.
STRIKE !!!

No!  :o

Damn - that's gonna be sad news for a lot of fans. Comics lost a major luminary there.
