I can heartily recommend Neal Stephenson's The System of the World, though.

You do kinda have to read Quicksilver and The Confusion first...

Cheers

Jim

Yeah. Sorry. That was 15 minutes BC (before coffee). I meant Baroque Cycle

Cats are evil.

I spent Saturday with my boys in the park (they all fell in mud), then Sunday at a family party for an aunt's 70th.

I'm knackered

I'm replying as I like the idea of this thread.

But, um, I've never read either of them.

I think those few pages are more Rogue-y that the first few pages of the IDW Dredd were Dredd-y.

I liked the roaches.

I'm staying paper 'til they stop printing. You turncoats are just making it sooner.

Think of me.

And think of your children. If you don't have paper progs, how will they learn to read and love the comic?
For the moment Progs will remain in both formats. Megs wont.

La! La! La! La! I'm not listening!

That is one of the best trailers I have seen for a while. I really want to see this. More than my boy - and he loves Godzilla!

Also, there's already merchandise for this in the shops. (And my house)

Sorry for being a big dummy, but I don't want to make a mistake when buying tickets.

You say to "pay any fees". Fair enough.

But what is the total I have to send per ticket? What are the fees? I've never used PayPal to send cash, so sorry for being daft. I'm asking here on the assumption others are in the same boat.

Nice disclaimer for the T-shirt:

"Please note: Space Spinner is a visual representation only and is not detachable. Throwing T-shirt through the air will not activate Space Spinner and may result in accidental destruction of priceless family heirlooms your gran really should not have left out like that!"

Why did the baker have smelly hands?

He was kneading a poo.

I understand that a lot of the stories you refer to were written without knowing when they would end. Hence, they HAD to repeat themeselves. As a matter of editorial policy, the reached a mid-point and trod water until the writer was told to end it. They couldn't create or conclude threads because they didn't know how much time they had.

Also: you are looking at children's tales with adult eyes. My 8 year old loves every one of the strips you mention.

I feel these were a much unloved item of merchandise. I have a pair in a bookcase and highly recommend them.
