I'm very disappointed that nobody's advised the use of cheese yet.

Humane? If you like, but it won't work very well, or so experience has taught me.

Get a mousetrap. The kind you see in Tom and Jerry cartoons. They kill mice.

Sorry if that's upsetting.

See you around, you miserable old sod.  ;)

FWIW, I agree with you. I only take brief glances on here now. There are plenty of good people, but I find myself avoiding the posts of quite a lot of loonies.

My poster wasn't stapled to the prog. It's a little bigger, even folded, so it was sitting separate in the plastic wrap.

My guess for who's living in Johnny Alpha's head: [spoiler]Malak Brood[/spoiler].

Wouldn't that be cool?

As Zombo says, it is awesome.

I can't get enough of Dante, Stront and Dredd, and I loved the end of Absalom. There were so many other goodies in this prog, but my favourite was the Rogue strip. Great character work and, based on what we know about them, believable stuff.

Final word: who is in Johnny's head? They can be sensed by this furfish animal thing and are afraid of it. Who do we know in the Stront stories who is afraid of animals? This is bugging me now. I bet I shout "OF COURSE!" when we find out who it is :-)

Good news, everyone!

I have finally managed to book this. Tickets bought and hotel booked for the Saturday only, so far.
Rich: I can't print my Paypal receipt so please just remember that I've paid for a weekend ticket. If you refuse me entry I will BREAK YOUR STUPID FACE.

My work commitments remain complex but I will definitely be off on the Saturday night. I'm trying to get the Sunday off, so I don't need to dash off, and the Friday so that I can show you all how to drink. You bunch of mincing girls.

At some point I'll look into the train, too. Any tips would be appreciated. Perhaps I will launch an attack, like Grant Morrison's subway pirates, and scare the hell out of Proudhuff.

To sum up: YAAAAAAS!

I always look. I get all my best ideas for stories from the shapes I see in the residue. Sometimes I like to help writers, by sending the Rorschach Plops to them in the hope they will be as inspired as I.
You hear this Tony! The poo-sender debagged at last!

I knew it! You fiendish genius, Cosh!

Is this a ploy to make someone admit they once used a copy of 2000AD?

I hate original series Star Trek. It's shite.

Can I interest you in some lantern rings of various colours which I keep standing on?

I'll trade you my cow for those magic rings.

I have the full set, plus an extra green one and a Flash ring. I like them a lot. I've added them to our Christmas tree two years in a row. I even sent a picture to Geoff Johns on Twitter.
