Ok, what's the logic behind this one? The only thing I can think of is woods seem to feature in high fantasy. Are we suggesting wood is a good or bad locale for a comic strip?
hmmm. certain substances are more readily available in Denmark, aren't they?
John Carpenters Halloween is to be turned into a manga style movie.

Lego?
Snow? Sacandinavians? Rocks? Small tourist collectables? Engine oil? Don't keep us in suspence Pete!
That would be Holland, Pete.
Although the sheer levels of boredom one reaches whilst driving Lego trains, can make one's mind wonder!
To be honest, I can't remember exactly what it was that got me thinking this, but I certainly at some point begun to think about fantasy, and a dan dare story where the trees came to life and were man eating.
One of the things that has interested me about Star Wars, is that in each of the first 3 films, the locations have been very varied, (with the exception of Tatoonie.)
SW: Desert, Space station, Space itself
ESB:Ice Planet, Swamp Land, Cloud City
ROTJ: Desert again (the exception), Woodland, Space (again)
This is pretty general, but you can (hopefully) see what I'm getting at here.
So I was wondering what locations where underused, and/or suitable in 2000ad.
I have a follow-up (and probably more sensible) poll planned...
phantom thing : desert
attack of the other things : lots more desert
nope, whatever your getting at, i cant see it
Strangely this may not be the stupidest we've ever run.
Anyone want to put forward some other contenders for stupidest poll? I'll run a poll on it.
Well, you just get these single environemt planets in Star Wars, and lots of other science fiction. The odd one, fair enough, but all of them? Hmmm...
well unlessn you think of the envirmonment as a metophore for the underlying mood / theme/ wotsit of the story. Its like dreamscapes innit? i challenge any of you to have a scary horror nightmare set in a sunny meadow, or caribean beach. landscape / scene/ location are as much symbols as shapes / colours /objects, we all have fairly consentual associations with such.
woodlands, if the birds were singing & the mayblossom gentley swaying in breeze could represent a rather fairy filled sensual place. But since most people are nowadays alienated from nature, especially teeming prolific balanced whole eco systems, why then a forest or wood has got the whole 'lost child' (handsel & gretle; mirkwood) thing happening, the darker & denser, the more 'blair witch'...
hmmm i feel a novel set in a wood coming on.
have you ever stood on the roots of mature pines in a hurricane force snow storm in glen nevis ? ahhh happy days.
That's a well crap and pointless poll question.
It doesn't matter if a story features a wooded location or not. What does matter is the quality of the script AND art, it is this which determines if the story is of a high quality.
