1.?Cos even though every ragged breath from his poor body could be his last death rattle Tiny Tim has been calling out for some Ron Smith original artwork (framing optional) - that is when his fevered brain allows him some clarity and his weak voice can be heard above the howling artic winds that blow through the glassless windows of the amputee orphanage. Make his final wish come true!

2. On Christmas Eve Tharg is sitting by the fire, sipping some mulled wine when the ghostly apparition of fellow comic editor Starlord appears before him. Starlord tells him three editors ? one from 2000ad?s past, one from the present, and one from the future will visit him.

Erm?

All 3 visitations happen (Pat Mills, erm the current one and a brain in a jar) and they?re all really funny and/or dark and mysterious, full of interesting trivia and cutting comments of the state of 2000ad, and loads of in-jokes to get the 2000adonline message board talking and boasting about who really understood what they were.

Tiny Tim dies but is then brought back with a new writer and artist which people complain about for years.

The end.

3.Enter.

Strange trailer but promising - especially the unworldly sounds accompanying the light display.

And what signifies Old Blighty more than a brace of Black Cabs. Bring on the Red telephone boxs and buses containing cheeky cockney pearly kings and queens.

I doth my cap to ya Spielburg. Gawd bless ya Guv'nor!

Ator: Fighting Eagle!

Went looking for zombie/voodoo stuff and found this.

They just don't make book covers like this anymore.

What is she hiding behind those cards? What?

Wahtever it is I'm sold.http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-12/907439/bond_lald.jpg">

Mmmm Zombies. Finished working on a brace of the rotten little buggers last month.http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-12/907439/zombie_10.jpg">

Intuos3 A4 - That's what i do my day job with and it's a beaut.

I'd always recommend getting a tablet, there's no downside to having one more string in your artistic bow.

Personally i do most of my work half and half. I get the basic designs down on paper and then scan them in to manipulate in the computer; doing things that would take ages to do on paper.

Also having paper originals that i can sell has put food on the table and kept a rooof over my head many times. Apparently even my work is worth framing to someone and gawd bless them someones one and all.

Comic of the Year: SMAX - brilliant fun
Book of the Year: Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - i haven't read a lot this year.
Album of the Year: Pet Sounds - I really don't listen to much new music
T.V. of the Year: Deadwood - Lovejoy is an evil git and says C**ksucker every other word. Great.
Film of the Year: The Incredibles - only just seen it but by gum it's a cracker
Game of the Year: Mawaru: Made in Wario - turn your Gameboy SP into a motion puzzle - completly addictive.

Disappointment of the year: The Originals by Dave Gibbons. The usual standard of art but, bland boring, predicable, and not worth the money. Urgh in general.

Also which part of the undercity provides lovely bleached white backdrops to the action? :)

Ah like I mentioned earlier: idiot me not bother read good purdy piktures enter brain well bad guy comment still stand.

Like it.

As mentioned earlier the bad guy needs more detail on his suit otherwise he looks a bit like Mr Blobby without all those endearing spots.

And you need to sort out the shoulders on Dredd in the 2nd panel - is he wearing his eagle and shoulder pad under the coat, or just searching for esmerelda and da bells?

Overall I like it but then don't listen to me I'm an idiot.

c-c-Clint l-Langley.

b-b-back...Backgrounds!

Truly it is a miraculous X-mas prog to look forward to!

Tulkas (in shock)

Oh me sides.

Cheers for the Spidey, Phuz.

That's cheered up my whole office.

Harlan Ellison won an undisclosed amount of money and a writing credit from James Cameron becasue Terminator borrows heavily from 2 of his Outer Limits scripts - Demon with a Glass Hand and an other.

As he said "I sat in the cinema and watched this great film, then i got up, walked home and phoned my lawyer"

Does this mean that The Matrix was based on this woman's script whilst the crappier sequels were what the Walzalzlikise?.. Brothers could cobble together?

Explains a lot.

Terrible.

Children should learn about sexual intercourse the right way: by finding a mouldy old bag of Dutch porn in the woods, drying it out to a readable crispness on an open fire - created with swan vesta matches - and then preceeding to find the contents thoughly strange, but very funny indeed.

Violence can be learnt from any playground bully.

This image has had a strange effect on me.

The more I look at it the more I think it looks like we've got another completely bollocks series headed our way.

Hopefully time will prove my suspicions wrong.

Hopefully.
