David Bishop was responsible for turning the prog around from the dark days of the Nineties to its present glory. That's not my opinion, that's a quote from some guy called David Bishop- talking about himself in the third person- in Thrillpower Overload.

Thank heavens he did, because the prog is the best its EVER been!

Anyone who objects to that image is a humourless scold. It is just intended to be fun. FUN. If women don't like it they should make better dinners.
He's only trying to be what following how his dreams make you wanna be, man!

I'm currently reading "Animal Farm", a book you've probably never heard of by George Orwell who's a guy who wrote books far too clever for you.

Anyway, I'm sure you have no idea what it's about because you never heard of it before I just mentioned it, so here's a synopsis I cut & pasted from wikipedia -

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to and during the Stalin era before the Second World War. Orwell, a democratic socialist,[1] was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, especially after his experiences with the NKVD and the Spanish Civil War.[2] In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as his novel "contre Stalin".[3]

Also you'll notice by the frequency of my posts in this thread, that I read about 15 novels a week, all of which you've never heard of by obscure novelists such as Franz Kafka & Herman Hesse.

They're not books that I read ten pages of when I was 16 then gave up on. They're what I'm reading NOW.

Stop persecuting that poor man.  He's not doing any harm, just expressing an opinion.  If anyone is mentally ill, it's you people.

What do you mean the marketing droid is aiming events, competitions and products at new readers, NEW READERS????!!!! They might want different things than me. Why isn't everything aimed at the literally 10s of middle aged men who have been reading since it started and always will do?

All 2000ad celebrations should be in my lounge and all competitions run by Tharg coming around to my house and asking me some questions.

Its not fair!

I agree. Also, PR is EASY. Anyone can do it. We must all review the progress of the PR bot in the cruellest way possible, while exaggerating his perceived failings and repeating the same, inaccurate anecdote again and again.
