I'll be teaching that to the students at tomorrow's lecture.

Aha - noticed something else, then.

I re-added http://www.2000adonline.com/ to my Favourites folder in IE, which then makes the little 2K icon appear when I access that page.

However, it only works for that specific address.  Now that I'm in (for example) http://www.2000adonline.com/?zone=fan&page=message&choice=15637.0211000000, IE doesn't display the icon anymore.  I'd have to add each individual address to my Favourites folder to get it to work - something I'm not going to do for obvious reasons.

It still makes the Favourites folder easier to navigate, though, so it's not a total waste of time for IE users.

With Internet Explorer, this doesn't seem to work unless you add the page in question to your Favourites folder and then access the page by clicking on that link in your Favourites folder.  After that's been done once, it then works on subsequent accessing of said web page without clicking on the Favourites link.

In Firefox, it works right off the bat.

Haven't tested it in other browsers (or on Mac).

That's with this code in the <head>:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

(Where favicon.ico should be the relative path to the file from the page that requires it.  In my test the favicon.ico file was in the same folder as the page that used it.)

Strontium Dog, whilst being one of my favourite series of all time, still had some arguable misfires:

:: "How about an official errata page? That'd be useful."

Honestly, I think your best bet would be to create your own "official" errata page and then punt it onto the web for everyone else to use.

If nobody else does, it's the kind of thing I'd get up to myself.  Once I get a copy of Red Tide.  And some time.

Red Tide is missing speech balloons?

I think you've just put me off buying GNs from Rebellion.

Now that I know what an OGN is, I'd be more likely to buy new material from the House of Tharg than reprint.

It's a simple case of personal finances:  I'd love to own all the published reprint books but I already have it in it's original format so...

Having said that, I'm taking advantage of the 60% discount subs offer to get my paws on these little gems for the princely sum of 22 squids:

Devlin Waugh - Swimming In Blood
Devlin Waugh - Red Tide
Bison
Shakara
Necronauts
Nikolai Dante - Romanov Dynasty

According to the database on this site (not always 100% accurate) there are 46 pages of Lenny Zero (not including his appearance in A Night 2 Remember in 2000AD).




(Ta for the OGN explan.)

I reckon Armoured Gideon will get the EE treatment.

(Likewise, but with less conviction, Revere and Luke Kirby).

Actually, Luke Kirby may well spring up the old 90s argument of what came first:

- Luke Kirby
- The Books of Magic (?) by Neil Gaiman
- Harry Snotter, Toy Wizard

That was rather odd.

"This is A. Reporter, wearing a warm coat and standing outside a hospital waiting for a man to die.  Let's hope it's not too much longer as I'm freezing my arse off.  Now, back to the studio."

What possible "news" could they garner from outside the hospital that they couldn't get from just 'phoning up and asking if he was dead yet?

Especially odd to see Channel 4 News' cultural reporter performing the role.  "We know you usually do in-depth and significant cultural reports, but today we'd like you to just be a vulture, if that's okay?"
