pop quiz hotshots, i have a bizarre memory from a long long time ago, of a comic in 2000AD (I'm pretty sure it was anyway!) where a full english breakfast tries to kill someone. any idea what this was? as I'd like to know.
many thanks!
Wasnt it a story in Bix Barton ?
"The Indigestible Case of the Haunted Full English" (in 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special 1990)
That's the one. A couple of great lines in it too - 'I liked the poll tax. I thought it was sexy.' / 'Didn't the poll tax have something to do with abstract expressionism? Apparently everyone called it "Pollocks"'. Also included the most deliberately stereotyped Yorkshireman I've ever seen, who saw a full English breakfast as a poof's meal.
I liked Bix Barton; it should never have been coloured in though.
There was the Future shock when a spud from the future comes back and kills someone for crimes against potatoes, such as slicing, boiling, deep frying roasting etc...
I also liked what I read of Bix - the concept, the rugby lingo - what turned me off it completely was the horrendous, and totally unsuited, art. The script was clearly trying for a sort of '30s thriller/detective idiom, like Ampney Crucis, but the art was trying for... well, I don't know what the art was trying to do. Horrible dayglo palette and no sense of any particular time or place.
The black-and-white art that it began with suited it much better. I thought some of BB was actually very decent comedy - reminded me a bit of Blackadder in places in fact.
