Recent events have made me wonder....are we nice enough to our droids? Do we flatter them enough? We are so lucky to have them amongst us here.....
so, here's a competition. The most obsequious, sycophantic thread title, dedicated to droid wins one of my Phantom comics, possibly by David Bishop, signed by me or (for even greater collecting value) not signed by me.
I'll start..
Gordon, have any famous people fainted with excitement on meeting you?
Simon Davis- the way you merge your fine art 'portrait' work (i include the ' ' because it is soooo much more than mere portraiture) and comic styles is utterly amazing, making it resound beyond simple storytelling. A true New Master.
How's that?
Machievelli says that flatterers are not to be trusted but allow a man too much honesty around you and he will end up disrespecting you.
I only gave what I was given.
Honesty.That can be disrespect.
That is all I will say on the matter.
Ooh! Ooh! I've got one! How about:
"The Simon Spurrier Thread, Thread dedicated to 2000ad's coolest writer!"
Link: Read it here....
I think there should be a thread devoted to Boo Cooks haircuts
Just in case anyone is wondering; I started this thread with the aim of being a bit funny, after visiting another board in which a writer/artist was asked breathless questions about their hair-parting, whether any famous people had been excited to meet them, if they liked their new car and generally fawned over in a way that would be OTT for God almighty. I didn't intend to have a go at our droids who are the salt of the earth
So, Frazer Irving, does your new living room look terrific, or merely fab?
Dear Mr Wagner - How exhausting is it writing one excellent Dredd story after another?
Gordon Rennie - how is the furniture in your living room arranged? Is it to face the TV? I bet it's all arranged to face the TV. Is it? My furniture is arranged to face the TV. How is yours arranged, please?
Like that, Floyd?
Frazer-my dog died recently, can you draw me a picture of a woman performing fellatio on Walter the Robot?
It wasn't meant to be funny or anything- I was being honest, not sarcastic.

Shoot for the stars - get him to bring your pet back to life, and not in a Pet Sematary way (all done whilst drawing a picture of a woman? performing fellatio on Walter the Robot and calling blonde latino women whores).
Tharg loved this competition so much that he decided that the winning entry of this competition will be printed in 2000 A.D. itself. Tharg being Tharg he travelled into the future, read the letter and printed it in Prog 1496.
Well done Earthlett Cotton of Telford.
do you think Frazer could still draw while he's performing such an act?
fair play to him:)
Frazer - I have a question about how amazing you are - how did you get so amazing? :) HahahaLOL, I really think you are brilliant!!!! If I was you I would never leave the house, I would just stay inside drawing all day. LMAO!!!!!! :) Can you draw me a picture of you with your arm around me (photo enclosed)? I would frame it and hang it on my wall and go to sleep thinking about how amazing you are*, and what good friends we are. Can I be your friend? You ROCK!!!!!!
*Nothing gay though - well mabye!!!! LMAO!!!! :)
Mr Mills, my name is James and I am your biggest fan EVA!!!! I think all the people who slag you off are just jealous of your amazingness and long luxuriant locks - plus they're probably latino whores too LMAO!!!! :) Yeah, you should write a story where they all die horribly, and you are made king. I could illustrate it for you? Yes? :) LOL!!!!!
P.S. Can I have your home phone number?
Ummmmmm...
Disclaimer: I hasten to add those are joke posts above. Don't spend too long on the Byrne board, kids, the sycophancy rubs off quicker than you'd think...
Dear Mister Wagner,
Will you be my new Daddy?
Yours,
dxb, 29 and 7 months.
Dear Mr Bishop
- I always thought you were top bitch, but you've proved it NOW!
Okay Frazer, I give up... where is the fucking car?
You're fab, by the way!!!
Dear 2000 AD creative team - you are all amazing and great and all but what might make you only ever so slightly more amazing is having less teeth. So I'm sending a truckload of candy round for y'all to suck on - that just how great you all are.
do you think Frazer could still draw while he's performing such an act?
fair play to him:)
Its a little known fact that he draws all of his "women giving oral pleasure to gay robots" pictures with his feet anyway - and they are still amazing!! Even if they end up smelling a bit funny that is also great.
Like that, Floyd?
Exactly, Dark Jimbo. I do believe you've got it!
btw, who was it who said they couldn't find the car in Frazer's 'obvious car' picture?
bump! I'm sure there's more sterling sycophancy out there. I'm giving the competition one more week.
anyone who disagrees with the judge's decision will be banned from this thread without explanation
right, Dark Jimbo is the winner for his disturbing 'do your chairs all face the same way' letter. An 'available-only-in-Australia' Phantom comic will be winging its way to him any moment now
Too late for my suggestion:
"There's too much criticism of Gordon Rennie. I hate his knockers."
- Trout
Thanks Floyd. This was scary though - I thought of loads more, but I knew I'd better stop when the LOLs and LMAOs started becoming all-too-natural, and the sycophancy was flooding to my fingertips faster than I could type it. Once you start, even as a joke, it grabs a hold of you and won't let go.
(I spent far too long reading the Byrne forum answers, y'see.)
Trout gets an honourable mention for disliking Mr Rennie's knockers
further comic-obsequiosness is welcome
Thanks, Floyd!
