TwoHeadedThingies: It cannot be left at 35!

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2014/12/it-cannot-be-left-at-35.html

Wednesday, 31 December 2014. It cannot be left at 35! Call it an emergency posting, or call it "doing a 2014 round-up like everyone else" - I just couldn't end the year with having thirty-five posts. It's my least-favourite number you see, so here you go. On the other hand, as in, the "good" end of it all, there's been plenty. Two great weekends working for Replay Events. Me, and made a good. Whilst also keeping up with slightly. That'd be fun. Not all at once, obviously, I'm aware that some of you d...

TwoHeadedThingies: Some Different Takes on The Beano

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2012/11/some-different-takes-on-beano.html

Saturday, 3 November 2012. Some Different Takes on The Beano. A comic that's been around for as long as The Beano. And one that's become so much a part of popular culture that most people should be able to name a few characters just by looking at them, is obviously ripe for parody, pastiche or homage. And it's been done a LOT. One example being this Steve Bell thing from 1984:. Below are FOUR more different "versions" of everyone's favourite comic (be aware, there's a few rude words). And Corky the Twat.

TwoHeadedThingies: I stayed exactly where I was and suffered endless Feltz

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2014/12/i-stayed-exactly-where-i-was-and.html

Friday, 12 December 2014. I stayed exactly where I was and suffered endless Feltz. Brief tangent/explanation. I mentioned that "something happened" - that "something" ALMOST killed this blog, I'll have you know! Try and make this as easy to follow as possible, it might take a few goes, but it's worth a try. Masterminded by Graham Hey, Spit! By Chris Whitehead, Whitley Baywatch. By Lew Stringer, Jimmy Bowen. By Paul Palmer, Big Fat Lass. By Michael Hingley, Pete's Pranks. Viz , yes, we were selling off th...

TwoHeadedThingies: Smut - It's all in the name

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2013/03/smut-its-all-in-name.html

Friday, 8 March 2013. Smut - It's all in the name. Well, THIS was a depressing post to put together. Anyone who's ever read Smut. Will know it's not exactly the pinnacle of comedy. Anyone who's read Smut. Recently will know that the Sun. Is a more tasteful read. Created by misters Tom Fulep and Clive Ward sometime around 1990 (or possibly very late 1989? It does everything that Viz. Does, only without any of the satire, wit, subtlety or all-round readability. The whole "making-rude-things-out-of-kids-TV-...

TwoHeadedThingies: Clichéd Cynicism

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2014/12/cliched-cynicism.html

Friday, 19 December 2014. December's suddenly disappeared, whoops. Usually by now I've watched all the films (or as much as I can), gone through my first litre of eggnog and listened to Phil Spector's festive offerings at least a dozen times. Not sure what's happened this year though, bit of a bugger really. I LIKE this time of year, or I at least TRY to, but it seems to be getting more difficult each time. Ah well. I made a tentative start yesterday by listening to Barenaked for the Holidays. Those are ...

TwoHeadedThingies: Crazy golf with a Swedish couple we befriended

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2015/08/crazy-golf-with-swedish-couple-we.html

Sunday, 9 August 2015. Crazy golf with a Swedish couple we befriended. And so back to Scotland once more, this time in a celebratory vein. If you "enjoyed" any combination (or even all three) of Electric Soup. This may be of interest. It's a thing that you can actually buy in real life! Presenting, for your pleasure, The Khollected Khaki Shorts. You can go and buy it from the Braw Books shop. The "how it all began" story can be found on the Braw Blog. Whilst "Cheese Monster" (? The "out-of-sight" Kounter...

Alice Wisden — Art Noise

http://artnoise.org.uk/alice-wisden

There is a confused alliance of the real and the imagined, my characters have a childish naivety towards violence as though a game is being played and the realms of the canvas are immortal. I question perceptions by disrupting the familiar by invading the stability of Primary themes I can create a sense of moral distrust. When undermining these familiar boundaries a feeling of the uncanny becomes evident.

TwoHeadedThingies: Pus-filled unwelcome blemish

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2013/08/pus-filled-unwelcome-blemish.html

Thursday, 1 August 2013. Right, here we go again! A trite observation about all these sub- Viz. Comics is that the bad ones seem to do a lot better than the good ones. Titles like Smut. Can carry on for almost two decades, whereas something like Adroit. Might disappear after two or three issues. On a similar merciful level, utter garbage like Jockstrap. Seem to've been wiped from the memory of all but a handful of people, so at least there's that. Which brings us to Zit. Is something I just plain don't "...

TwoHeadedThingies: Cover Gallery! The last bit of Brain Damage, it's okay

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2014/12/cover-gallery-last-bit-of-brain-damage.html

Thursday, 11 December 2014. The last bit of Brain Damage, it's okay. SIX posts just on one title? It was hard to pick and choose with Brain Damage. It really was. And this final part of it (which marks the end of the FIRST part of the extended "look" at Galaxy Publications, remember) was a bit longer arriving, due to something happening. More on that another day. For now, here's all of the Brain Damage. After the jump, obviously. Most of the people I've spoken to, when Brain Damage/The Damage. I can only...

TwoHeadedThingies: Twenty days left, not like anything's going to happen

http://twoheadedthingies.blogspot.com/2013/12/twenty-days-left-not-like-anythings.html

Wednesday, 11 December 2013. Twenty days left, not like anything's going to happen. So we may as well do this "year in review" thing that everyone else started doing in September. Let's see now. What with all the death and disaster, there hasn't been much good "new" stuff around either (at least not that I've noticed). The fact that my favourite album of the year is a compilation of forgotten indie bands. From the Nineties that Ben Baker. But just like last year. Slightly. The problems this brings to...
