Funt Solo resides within the winter dreams of dessicated pangolins - the custard pink shoelace landscape stretching to the scratch 'n' sniff horizon. It is there, upon an upturned skeletal blobfish, that you will find his gangly abode - a palace fit for an ostracized spatula. It is constructed entirely of wallpaper, (save for the the wallpaper which is made of brick), and is the very image of the delectable Lillie Langtry, (had Ms. Langtree been a broken spanner sellotaped to a walrus). The rooms are inverted, being on the outside of the building, and it is in the largest and simultaneously smallest of these in which Mr. Solo indulges in his hobby of knitting haddock out of buttered scones, the sound of which causes zebras to scream at melting traffic lights.

Well, while I'm quite happy to respect other folk's pronouns, there doesn't seem to have been much transitioning going on...

First ever episode of Rogue Trooper also appears to be in it, (but in colour).

Something tells me adherence to previous continuity won't be a priority, though it'll very likely be the same continuity as the aforementioned V.C.s story and pretty much everything else in that particular prog.

[did you hear they've taken "gullible" out of the dictionary]

I was a razor's edge away from typing it. I once fell for the did you hear they've taken "gullible" out of the dictionary joke.

I saw a thing doing the rounds on facebook earlier this year that went "I just found out that the word "gullible" upside-down looks like a cat", and most folk were responding with laughing emojis and saying "nice try" and "almost got me" but I was like, "hold on a flippin' minute..."

Advice noted.

I may have overstretched the point somewhat.

Maybe this is specific to dead actors reprising roles through CGI. You may be able to tell that, while I do recognize that it's morbid, I'm no more or less offended than if the dead person's family decided to sell their unfinished manuscript, or their favorite car, or their theories on particle physics, or whatever. The dead person can't care, can they?

I think the issue with most people is that they're incorporating real images of the deceased actors' actual faces. It could be argued that neither would the deceased care if you dug up their corpse, flayed off their skin and stuck it on top of a somewhat realistic life size puppet to jiggle around for other's amusement, but folk would probably have a bit of a problem with that as well.

- Were people as perturbed by Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) or Leia (Carrie Fisher) in Rogue One?

Probably the most icky in these examples because the actors don't have any say in their likeness, (taken from images of their actual, digitally ripped off faces), being used, but permission was obtained from family/estate, so there is that.

- Does the person have to be deceased for offence to be taken? Like, was it offensive for James Franco to play Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist? (Ha ha - yes is the only answer!)
- Does dressing up count even when they're nothing alike? Like Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury?

Not so much of an issue because they're very obviously fictionalised versions of those people and aren't using their actual face.

- What about CGI in video games - so Freddie again, but in Guitar Hero?
- What about Forest Gump? They manipulated footage of loads of dead people - JFK, Elvis, Lennon, Nixon etc.
- What about comics? Bix Barton used the Carry On crew. Ampney Crucis used David Niven. Those were okay?

Computer games - obviously not really them.

Forrest Gump - utilises real footage but obviously not actually interacting with Tom Hanks.

Unofficial comics likenesses - very obviously not them and there's a very long tradition of that, (living and dead folk). I've always looked at it as more of a tribute to those people than anything else, especially when likenesses are "acting" as an obviously different character.

There could potentially be an issue if the use of likenesses are used in an insulting or derogatory way towards the real life individuals.

- What if they're in on the sale, pre-death? I'm thinking Abba and Kiss.

Presumably there'd be something in their contract about the possibility of their likeness being used after death.

I think it largely depends on the way in which the deceased's appearance is used, whether it's going to profit the company to any great degree and whether the media in which it appears is a steaming pile of cack or not.

Now, I know that font overlaid on another font on the cover is intentional, (because the strip's logo does it an' all), but that's totally going to have folk thinking it's a mistake.

Slight niggle with back cover... Misty's cat is ginger, (and called Habibi).

That's some great movie-poster style work from Mark Harrison. Is this referencing something? It's like an inverted Abbey Road. Worth checking out on a big screen.

The strips of colour are kind-of-sort-of reminiscent of the "Star Trek : The Motion Picture" film poster.

The prevalence of mask wearing in Asian countries started during the 1918 influenza pandemic. Then there was an earthquake in Japan with lots of minging particles floating about. Then there was another flu outbreak. Then the amount of pollution shot up. Then the highly polleny Japanese cedar started to flourish due to all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere...

I bet there won't be another volume now. Just my luck.

Which is unfortunate if not, because I saw loads of folk online wondering if it had any of the stories from Eagle in it, which seems to be what most people are familiar with and therefore what most of them wanted, (with all the freaky supernatural shenanigans and melty Darkman-before-Darkman faces).
