As I mentioned before, I've lent them Thrill Powered Art By the likes of Bolland, Gibbons , McMahon, McCarthy and Hewlett.
Go check it out, if it's a success, hopefully we'll have a 2000AD retrospective.
So feel free to mention the Galaxies Greatest while visiting!
And it's near Gosh Comics!

meeeee ow!

BTW - wouldn't surprise me if that explosion was some kind of black ops job by the US to infuriate the masses in Iraq against AQ (oops there I've said it phone taps akimbo). I've read lots of Andy McNab you know, all he says is true! Really!

Call me paranoid- but the same thing crossed my mind too...

The opening was on telly and I was looking out for Rufus lurking about in the background, but to no avail.

The feature seemed to concentrate on political cartoones rather than comic strip.

I thought 2000ad would at least get a mention, but no.

Next time i'm in London town I'll give it a visit.

Cheers for the pics, Rufus and Trout. I'll definitely try and get to this when I'm in the UK in a couple of weeks - and I'll take a screwdriver and a carrier bag and hopefully pick up some original art ;-)
