Some say the divil is dead
the divil is dead
the divil is dead
the divil is dead
Some say the divil is dead
and buried in Kilarney


Some say he rose again
rose again
rose again
Some say he rose again
and joined the British army


this was years before the peace process  ;)

My wife, she has a hairy thing,
a hairy thing,

My wife, she has a hairy thing,
she showed it to me Sunday.

She bought it in the furrier shop,
bought it in the furrier shop,
bought it in the furrier shop.
It's going back on Monday.

I wonder how much impact Rebellion would gave had given that its creator owned?

Oh! I was actually refereeing to the to the rebellion within the story not "Rebellion".

Well i didn't have much on today so I did a big search and reread of the fantastic Mazeworld. Thankfully it held up as much as when I first read it and it is still one of my favorite stories to appear in 2000ad.
There is a definite plan that fits all three together with small remarks in the first book becoming key plot points in the third book.
The double page spread Emperor speaks is at the end of the first part of book one, this is Cadman's first introduction to Mazeworld.
The movement between worlds is also fantastic and works so well. Arthur Ranson's art throughout is outstanding and when someone puts so much effort into everything including the borders and the page layout, you know you are in for a treat.
There did seem to be a change of shift in the third book after the rebellion has gained control and it becomes more like your typical fantasy story, with demon and the like posing the threat. This stood out a little and separated this book from the others but never took away from my enjoyment of it.

You all realise, of course, that we have NO mission of doing anything other than looking like a bunch of idiots who don't really know anything??

1191 so you have a bit to go yet. I enjoyed them also, there was lots of nudity for my young mind.

Not much snow round these parts at the moment.

But I did find this on the web recently. You can never have too much Calvin and Hobbes.
