@georgelondon That sound oddly sinister, taken out of context… in reply to georgelondon #
@winkswitheffort I find even that pretty stressful. Basically, they aren't my idea of relaxation AT ALL. in reply to winkswitheffort #
We are talking about Poop Colour Charts. This is one of the things I could have lived my entire life never hearing about. #
Video: My nephew loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, & as a result now so do I. The HOT DOG Song is unmistakably… http://tumblr.com/xi57qf3uv #
…No disrespect to my fellow online peeps, but I think I'd rather have someone better qualified doing the budget… #
…Or else, I dunno, just crowdsource the whole next government? #
@JamesMOMB Voting is the democracy bit. We vote for people we want to make the decisions on our behalf. Granted, most people forget that… in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB (Apparently, now Cameron included!) in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB …Crowdsourcing in this context would be asking the people to make the decisions, & cherry-picking. Or, tbh, it's buzzwording. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB WOAH THERE TROTSKY! in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB But yeah. in reply to JamesMOMB #
I've got tragic middle-class whine for you: Orange Maps is asking me to subscribe to pay account when I'm entitled to it on my account. Gr. #
@Sulman @JamesMOMB Yeah… One thing about Thatcher was she WAS a strong leader. Scary, but she did lead. #
@JamesMOMB POLOTICS? You fucking illiterate. TYPICAL of education under Thatcher! in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB Unless that's short-form for Polo Tactics, in which case, hark at you! in reply to JamesMOMB #
RT @ArmyofDave: BA Strike turning nasty: "I ain't gettin' in no damn plane, fool!" he said in a statement today. #
http://is.gd/aU5rr – Luckily, I was already a rampant misogynist, so these 1,178 women didn't change my mind about anything… #
…Thank god for Cheryl Cole, eh? Cultural litmus paper ftw. #
Yes, Rampant! #
@steevbishop That clip has totally confused my ability to tell the difference between ironic & sincere awesomeness. in reply to steevbishop #
Video: Undefeatable! (Thanks a bunch, @steevbishop!) http://tumblr.com/xi57qgqji #
@SorenLorensen What on EARTH was wee doing on the floor at work? in reply to SorenLorensen #
@SamShepherd That's… interesting. There were only about 4 or 5 comments there when I looked, but those ones are scattered thru now… in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd …That's just a disturbing comment laid atop a disturbing story, innit? in reply to SamShepherd #
For a bit in the late 80s, it looked like 2000ad was going to forever be the staging ground for each new big evolution in mainstream comics. #
…John Hicklenton's work on Nemesis The Warlock was at the forefront of that – it looked like nothing else, before or since. #
…As lovely as The Horned God was, I've always felt it was a shame that its success bred stylistic repetition that the mag seldom cracks. #
John Hicklenton – along with Steve Yeowell on Zenith – should have been the artists who influenced a generation. Both experimented wildly. #
@davidwynne On Hicklenton, we agree. And actually, Simon Harrison was another part of that "For EVOLUTION!" equation. in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne Simon Coleby is a solid artist, but I always found him pretty straightforward. in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne Oh, god, had Yeowell never been introduced to colour work, I'd love to know where his art would have gone. In colour, he's good, in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne …but his black and white work was just something else. in reply to davidwynne #
@JamesMOMB I was always a little sad that you didn't see his art in many other places, but I imagine that level of detail took TIME. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@tim12s Are you in London at the moment? You going to the Thing this weekend? in reply to tim12s #
@davidwynne I don't notice the evolution of Yeowell's art so much, with the colour. It turns out on this, I am a one-issue candidate! in reply to davidwynne #
@Sulman LOLS, oh yes, Button Man is easily the best thing EVAR. Good point! in reply to Sulman #
Should clarify that my love of Arthur Ranson as my fave UK comic artist isn't diminished by this talk of other favourite 2000AD artists… #
…Ranson's work continues to develop while still being clearly his, but I think of him as a staple of the medium in the UK, an exemplar… #
…Whereas Yeowell, Hicklenton et al were like avatars of progress in the medium – at least on the art side. #
@davidwynne True, but never really bothered me. Guess coz I started with him young, in Look In, & photo ref made his work perfect for that. in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne I think it's mainly his line work & storytelling that I like the most, so I don't get as far as the other stuff. in reply to davidwynne #
@tim12s Cool beans! Say hello! in reply to tim12s #
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS! I'd totally forgotten all about the Look-In Archive… http://is.gd/aUau8 #
YOUNG ME/NOW ME – This kind of passed me by, but it’s quite, quite lovely. http://tumblr.com/xi57qirz1 #
@steevbishop Huh… isn't that odd. I only vaguely remember it, but there are some shows that were in each of the mags. in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop OH YEAH MAN A COMIC DATE! I haven't had one of those in… well, like, a dozen years? in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop I soldier on! in reply to steevbishop #
@winkswitheffort Whenabouts? in reply to winkswitheffort #
@neenerspb Words are my power. in reply to neenerspb #
@neenerspb Mine too! Not saying that his books ALL go wrong, but it's only ever AFTER the set-up that they do. The set up, he nails always. in reply to neenerspb #
@neenerspb No… to be honest, I haven't heard good things, though! in reply to neenerspb #
@neenerspb When we meet a new, charming & friendly couple, we just kind of assume that they're secret swingers. I MEAN HOW WOULD WE KNOW? in reply to neenerspb #
@ellenstarbuck OH MY GOD IT'S EATING YOUR FACE! in reply to ellenstarbuck #
@ellenstarbuck …Love the colour, though. in reply to ellenstarbuck #
@crazymorse Oooh… Good point. I think I'm going to root out The Barefoot Serpent from my shelves & read it as a tribute. in reply to crazymorse #
Photo: Scott Morse just wished Akira Kurosawa a happy 100th bithrday, over on Twitter. I’m not as familiar… http://tumblr.com/xi57qpxw9 #
@JamesMOMB He lives on in our hearts. I still celebrate YOUR birthday, & you're all but dead to me. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@winkswitheffort What!? in reply to winkswitheffort #
@acheverton Huh. That didn't happen to me. I don't THINK it did, anyway. in reply to acheverton #
@LeeConti And she's a hideous old troll. I suspect it is in the prep before the show that they have to flirt with her. in reply to LeeConti #
@BeaucoupKevin (Been meaning to ask you this for a bit… Is… Is Chad actually really real, or is that, like, an act he adopts?) in reply to BeaucoupKevin #
Geez, so I guess River Song is in a FEW of them, then? http://is.gd/aUD0M #
