Happy 44th birthday, 2000AD!

Actually, the precise day/date is a slightly confused issue because the date on Prog #1 was the off-sale date, and the prog's early tag line — "in orbit every every Monday — has literally never been true...!

Happy Birthday you lovely ol' bastard you.

Congrats and here is for the next 44 :)
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

Was it really four years ago that we (or many of us) were all in that there London to celebrate the 40th?

Happy Birthday 2000 AD.

Wow how did I miss that first time round - fantastic article. The first comment makes a good point - how many TVs have lasted since 1977 - the key difference being of course all those TV shows have been replaced, comics, alas not so much - well comics with actual comic strip making up more than say 20% or more of the content.

Yes, it's a great read.  I missed it the first time too.  Thanks, Mike!

It took a while, yeah! I had originally intended to try tracking down the missing issues throughout the year and present a revised version this year... but I forgot. :(

Giving someone the bumps for their birthday... I haven't heard that in a while... :)

Now, where's my pack of ready salted with the salt in a little sachet that I have to open and shake over my crisps....

Might be a nice idea for the 45th! Thanks for the article.
