Prog 1704 Spirited Away!

[SquashedFly]

Got this today, the first prog I have gotten since getting back into 2000AD

Was pretty damn good. Didnt feel too lost or like I needed to know everything to enjoy, and I get the feeling I am going to keep reading it, I am already itching to buy the next one.

I am slightly let down by the fact the article isn't illustrated with such... bush art or trouser topiary, although the actual photograph is an... acceptable substitute I suppose (however, while I am no expert, I suspect it'd be difficult to do this with your undies on, unless someone had a really unruly pantie hedge).

Plus top marks for the quality of local newspaper copy editing (and a prudish desire not to actually mention specifically what they are using, when there are perfetly acceptable medical terms for that are - like "pantie hedge" for example):

For as little as £45, women can have their most private area shaped into anything they want, - a love heart, their lover's initials, or perhaps even a patriotic Saltire.

Remodelling of one's "most private area" is going to cost you a bit more than £45.

They could call it the minge manicure

It's always been interesting to note Justice Department's approach to female adornments. After all, Justines usually enjoy rich, full cherry-red Maybeline lips, and recently McGruder sported a natty pair of justice-shield earrings...

[James Stacey]

Judge Edgar always had earrings like that didn't she. As for the Justice Department heeled lady boots, they are practical in all situations

[SmallBlueThing]

Well, let's face it- lady judges are only there for decoration, making the real judges' sandwiches and giving them something pretty to look at. They dont actually DO anything.

'AN UNKINDNESS OF RAVENS'.

THAT is genius. £2.25's worth right there in one panel.

I just read this prog.

I found some of the things the granny said in Age of the Wolf a bit odd. I understood the whole language thing, that it's about rune's and language controlling the world, (and interesting power by the way which reminds me of the Stephen King story Everything's Eventual). It was just certain words in her sentences seemed out of place. I imagine it was to convey a regional dialect maybe... That whole scene was a nice plot development though.  [spoiler]I wonder if that warning from the Granny that Rowan should 'get away from him' was actually referring to the man who is travelling with her rather than that werewolf that was following her*. I suspect a twist to come.[/spoiler]

*Is it different from the others by the way? How come it's implied it can climb when the others can't?
