  I am making progress with my artwork.Slaine is my next choice of character to draw.A lot of artists have drawn slaine.Should i go for the steroid enhanced glenn Fabry Slaine or the more gentle Belardinelli slaine that no one seemed to like or somewhere in the middle.On a scale of ten should i go for an athletic believable Slaine or something that looks like a celtic Incredible Hulk [less the green colour of course.].What do boarders prefer?What should slaine not appear without if drawn?


     Ultimatley i can please myself but some pointers would be much appreciated from the fans.

 Manby thanks.

 I hope this isnt a silly question.

 The only Viz character i still like is Victor Logic.If i remember correctly he always got thumped by someone during the strip.

 " Oh I seem to have suffered a fractured skull resulting from being struck  by an object of some considerable mass resulting in signals from the area in question being transmitted through millions and millions of millions of nerve endings that the correct part of the brain through its system of neurons therefore interprets as pain".


  Chris donald seems to have a square head or squarish at least.

 There were some interesting points in the last couple of posts before this.

  There is a certain sort of self satisfied smugness with that Viz creator donald or mcdonald or whatever his name is who was interviewed during the programme.I just find him irritating. So if he ever reads this ,just for the record i think he is a complete T W A T .Viz doesnt have a messageboard on its website either.

 Visit their website and stop to read the hilarious "Letterbocks" entries.

 
  There is more than enough room on BBC4 for a 1 / 2
 hour docu on 2000ad if they put their minds to it just dont let them have control over the content.

 Space could be made by either disposing of or putting on hold one of their comedy? shows that they insist on churning out.

  When Frank skinner  you just knew immediately that he was not there to talk about 2000ad.How i loathe Frank Skinner.

 It was inevitable that you got the class issue as in 2000ad and action wasnt for middle class kids.Thats just a predictable boring stereotypical thing to say.That though is a punk rock attitude as there wasnt much kudos to be gained from being a middle class punk .Joe Strummer was proof of that.So the punk rock attitude rubbed off on 2000ad a bit.


  Also the north /south divide I.E "Viz was a serious antithesis of what poncey southeners were up to in their comics,"

 Was that actually said?  I must have been out of the room at the time.


 There was too much squashed into 1 hour.This is the way of a lot of TV these days that just skims the surface of any subject .It often has very little intellectual content.They instead go for this little bit of this ,little bit of that,and lots of fast cutting.Everything feels rushed.I think programme makers these days think that *all* adults have the attention spans of small children.
What should have been interesting just gets reduced to light entertainment.

 Hardly worth the license fee.

  More or less exactly what i expected really.No surprises but a few insights and seeing what the artists look like and draw is always interesting.

  2000ad deserves an hour to itself at least in my opinion but as with all things the fact a certain comic sells a million copies per week or month  makes it more culturally important and worthy somehow.So its commerce that rules in the end not content.How shallow can you get?

 Thats not a viewpoint i go along with and i am sure others dont either.

 I am a little disgruntled about tonights show for reasons i am not going to parrot all over again.


 

  I dont really know.I just said it to have a dig at Viz.Take no notice.I just took offence at Viz comics creators comments about comic book readers a short while ago.

  Tonight is the first time 2000ad has been on television unless i am mistaken.

  I cant wait to see it. how long will 2000ad get ? 10 to 15 minutes at a guess but if we are lucky we might more.

    I have never ever been a fan of Tank Girl or any other material by Jamie Hewlett.Likewise Crisis Magazine.

  Alan Moore is interesting and gives good interviews.


  No doubt we will see the overweight ,speccy, skin the colour of a potato McDonald Brothers being interviewed about Viz.Not for too long i hope.


 A five year old could draw the kind of comic art in Viz comic.

 I liked Blade one very much .Blade 2 i didnt enjoy as much really as i didnt think it was asgood as the first.However i do very much like the actress who played the female vampire who died at the end of the film.What a stunning amazing looking woman she is.

 Blade 3 i have not seen.Yet.Maybe i wont bother.


 Hi ho its off to work i go.

i have just started reading Hellboy Seeds of Destruction.This seems to be material that the film was based on.Having just started reading it i have no idea yet how far  the plot for the film deviates from the source material.

  It is very good by way.[the GN ]

  I thought it was perfect casting having Ron Pearlman as Hellboy.Does anyone remember Beauty and the Beast that had Ron Pearlman and Linda Hamilton in it? This was around in the late 80s and i remember my sister taking the piss and saying that i reminded her of Ron Pearlmans character in the series.I have never seen it repeated anywhere on tv anywhere.

  I enjoyed it.

  If anyone has a Letraset catalogue that would be the easiest way to find it.Needless to say mine is nowhere to be found.

  This was a popular typeface in the 70s and i have seen it before.......somewhere.......


   Is it possible to alter the typeface given  and black in the faded areas on your own computer?I have no idea how but it might be possible to do so.

 They do look like Matchbox cars.The colour in the picture as well looks somewhat artificial adding to the illusion.
