And sadly pointing out where the Rogue strips have been going wrong of late.
I'm not even joking, here.  I'd read that strip religeously if it was like 'No Time To Talk' every week.

The flares are a necessity to allow metal feet to move around a bit and emulate human appendages, otherwise they'd be limited to moving backwards and forwards and not much else.

Nice episode that.  Still music too loud, Doctor too gurning-prone and gobby, but good fun.

Go back to marking, but confine it to the hours you're paid for AND THAT'S ALL.  From what I gather, the marking system pretty much depends on unpaid after-hours contributions anyway, and I for one would like to see them try to vilify you in the press for not doing unpaid work in your own free time.
A mate of mine teaches, and it seems to consume a lot of his own time, which just isn't on if it's expected as general working practice by his bosses.  Seems like he's being emotionally blackmailed in the same way that doctors and nurses are - "if you don't look after the kids'/patients' interest, who will?"
Someone think of the children, etcetera.

Mind you, I didn't bother getting involved with the dispute at the start, so it's not like I have any right to a say in proceedings now.  Good luck, all the same.

What about the original Wendy pages from the Action Stations! Winter Special?
And those people need reminding why they don't fuck with Bou - use the pages with the cowboy with his knob out getting kneecapped by Wendy, the pages with the whores you've based on people from your hometown, the page with the demon getting kicked in the bollocks by the horse, the page where Wendy is setting whores on fire, and the hanging scene.  If you have enough pages to do so, try to arrange them so they spell out the words 'fuck Balnacra' when you stand back from the wall.

Wendy is pretty much the same kind of character as the preacher in Just A Pilgrim, but without the laid-back, easygoing attitude.

Does this have the promised colour center-spread pages of legend?

Small press sucks.  It's one big wanking session, really.  Plus, I hate the competition, you fuckers.

Oh, stop, you turf-hopping spud-molester - it looks grand.
Oddly haven't got around to reading that issue yet.  Must hoke it out.

Cover - is this finished?  Did someone accidently use an older version of the picture file, or have I picked up Action Man again by mistake?
Droid Life - "does she still do the same songs?"  Made me smile.
Dredd - Reckon it's one of the android doubles doing the House of Pain gubbins, but it got the idea from the myth spread by the criminal underground, rather than being the originator.  Didn't Gordon mention he once did a comic featuring the House Of Pain band (of famously dumb drunken jumpy anthem "Jump Around" fame)?  Good stuff.
Lobster Random - hard to say if this is good or not, purely on the basis that big stompy robots are gold, and dinosaurs fry that gold.  That the dinosaur lives in Castle Greyskull is merely the platinum coating.
VCs - suffers from two things (1) not enough backgrounds drawn, meaning the setting is never convincing enough to give the gravitas necessary to make up for the script's shortcomings, and (2)a disjointed narrative that's come about from the story being split up over several years, yet - story-wise - all that's happened in all that time wouldn't have padded out half the original comic's pages.  I think what wrote the strip off for me was the bit where the aliens were set to destroy the Earth with their mighty space-cannon that fires asteroids (coughStarshipTrooperscough), and everything built up to a massive space-battle/showdown, yet the battle was written off as a single panel that happened during the hiatus between books.  I used to like this strip, but it's pissed away any potential in a yellow fountain of decompressed and inconsequential... erm... pish.
Low Life - Still doesn't feel like this strip has started, for me.  Love the restrained use of greyscaling to tone it.  Meh.

I miss the right-wing nutjobs writing in to the letters pages to complain that too many women were beating up men, or that there's too many muslims in the comic.  Barking mad, but they're certainly entertaining.
