Many years ago one of my mates found a report in the evening paper that debunked the myth that rabbits are more promiscuous than humans. The truth, according to the newspaper, is that people indulge in snuggles a lot more frequently than bunnies. The headline: "Man beats rabbits in sexual activity."

It could have been worse. Man beats off rabbits in sexual activity, for instance. Then again, a British woman has just married a dolphin in Israel, so anything's possible. Apparently.

my bad: pretty much everything else, to be honest.

Joking, I'm joking! But the propensity of thread titles ending in question marks reminds of a drinking session I once had with a Daily Mail journalist (yes, he was ashamed of himself).

He said anytime you saw a headline in the Mail (ditto London's Evening Standard) that ended with a question mark, the answer to the question was almost always no. The same rule of thumb might well apply to threads with titles that end in question marks.

Try it and see for yourself...

Sole comics-related gift: I got the wife The Complete Calvin & Hobbes - pure genius, but it weights a fucking ton.

Hard at work writing Twilight of the Dead, the final novel in my FIENDS OF THE EASTERN FRONT trilogy for Black Flame. It's August 1944 and the Rumanians are about to switch sides...

I have terrible problems with the yahoo movies site when viewed through IE as a browser. But it works fine through Safari.

In printing parlance, a signature is 16 pages - which is how many the Meg lost from issue 237. Magazines tend to be printed in 16-page signatures, so their pagecount is usually a multiple of 16 (unless they've got a separate, glossy cover). Books are signatures of 8 or 16 pages - which is why some novels have so many blank pages at the back of the book.

IIRC, Hilary Robinson asked for and was given her rights back - despite the fact there was a third series of Chronos Carnival in the 2000 AD planschest at the time, invluding Ron Smith art, awaiting publication. The full story was in TPO...

T Rex maybe, but Complete Indigo Prime collects most of the IP bits (including Killing Time, of course)
Ro-Busters is complicated by some of it being Starlord and Pat Mills retaining repritn rights on some other bits.
Medivac 318 - Hilary Robinson holds rights on this.
Stainless Steel Rat - Harry Harrison holds rights.
The Zero strips - might be a nice tribute to recently deceased scribe John Brosnan

I stumbled across the cover for my third Nikolai Dante novel on the Black Flame site, featuring an original painting by John Burns. Is Dante grabbing hold of what I think he is...?
