Title: Old reader, first time poster
Post by: captain_skank on 16 January, 2013, 12:36:29 PM
Hi all,

Title says it all - been reading 2000ad since day one and still love it.

Old stoneyface is my fave strip ( of course ) but Zenith and Dante come a close second for me.

Gonna try and get my 9yr old son into it - but he'll have to start at prog 1 cos I think 2000ad has grown with me and is a bit more adult than when it first started  :-[

cheers

Greetings!  :D It would be interesting to see what a 21st century 9 year old makes of those early progs... a lot of the early art (although futuristic at the time) looks very "retro future" now. I wonder if it might be like the dad showing the son Subbuteo on "Outnumbered"!  :lol:

And nice to see Captain Skank getting a name check!

Ian

Gonna have to find the captain s episodes out and scan it for my avatar.

Yeah - the art is very retro and the wording can be a little old fashioned but all the storylines still stand up imho.

ta for the greets.

Welcome aboard, it would seem the DVD release has brought a very welcome flurry of new boards.

Have fun.

s'true, and tbh I had to post something about the movie cos its just so good.

Been going through my collection at the weekend and bagging up progs.

Don't seem to get much done though cos they all need a read 'to make sure there still ok'  :lol:

So, the old captainskank has been retconned by a new captain_skank. Therefore I hand in my old Black Atlantic  sail boat and have exchanged it for a fuel injected four wheeled nightmare, Last of the V8's.
May your rudder stay true new captain_skank.

Dude - so sorry.

I didn't mean to hijack your name. I never even tried captainskank (with no underscore) when I registered.

'Last of the V8's' was a pretty good computer game though, back in the day, so nice choice there.

Once again apologies.

Can anyone tell me how I can add an avatar or even update my profile ??

I just get Home, Help, My Messages and Logout options on the forum.

Also - how many post's do I have to make before I can post in other sections ?

Cheers

Hello.  Good luck getting the next generation interested.

I don't know how many posts you need before you get allowed out of the new readers section but just found that I can now post outside it.  I've only made 10 or so posts so it might be time related, maybe?

Not so much the number, but the quality - all it takes is to satisfy that you're not a troll or mentalist.
Plus, I'm getting towards drunk and it's a good time to catch me.
Anyway, I've upgraded you, so you should be able to post on the rest of the board now.
