Was the font a deliberate attempt to make the "F" and "I" of "Final" look like an "A"?
Actually no.
Plus I was hoping that the fact FI and A would be distinguishable as there is another A there and it looks different. A bit.
But I suppose it could be a metatextual comment on the plot basically being TW: Adam.
You're missed, Bernie.
Wanna do the cover?
...more pages? Is this you showing up Spara by being able to do stuff he can't get his head around in the space of two days?
Anyway, the ones I downloaded I enjoyed - especially the Orbit re-write. That story never gets old. Obviously the brutal slaughter of Barry Tuck gets a gigantic thumbs-up from me, and I liked the way you pilloried Kyle's shallow character.

Nah, my lifestyle at the moment means I sometimes have hours passing with a "five second alert" vibe, so doing the pages is the easiest thing to do.

It's Rob Holmes, how could it?

Yes. Shallow, but nicer than the rest of the cast.
Oh, and you might not notice, but I had Anselm illustrated as being played by Chris Lilley.
That is VERY good casting, I have to say. Spara never gave an actor Anselm Ashford-Ashworth?
Have a merry Christmas, in case I haven't already said it.

He does LOOK the part, it must be said.

He didn't give him a last name, let alone an actor...

Will do. My dad is very pleased that Sharpe's Peril works, I loved your cartoon Christmas Card (my, Rush does look like Nigel when drawn, doesn't he?) and I type this after hanging up on the Make A Wish Foundation charity calls by screaming "I AM SANTA CLAUS, I DO *NOT* GIVE DONATIONS!" down the line. Oh, if only I'd made a crack about the Chaser...
My dad is very pleased that Sharpe's Peril works,
Phew, was worried that the silence might belie another failure.
Sharpe's Peril is far from the best of the series, but is still a nice entertaining watch.
I loved your cartoon Christmas Card
Glad to hear it. The idea only occurred to me very late at night so I didn't give myself long to draw it. Being so perfectionist I was kicking myself the next time I saw SGU shouting "ELI DOESN'T EVEN HAVE CURLY HAIR!"
(my, Rush does look like Nigel when drawn, doesn't he?)
..man, I hadn't made the conneciton but that's a good point. They basically have the same hairstyle in monochrone, both have glasses and Rush's other distinctive feature is his nose which doesn't come across well at that scale. Plus they're both skinny...
If you had Nigel in that role it would be a VERY different show..

LOL. How's the Santa business been going? As usual it's been terrible weather for it...

It belied the TV exploding and r. endering us unable to watch any dvds.. or anything at all.

You got his face right...

Indeed.

Technically, it would be Eli, surely? "Fuck Destiny, that girl ain't wearing clothes and I got a torch!"
LOL.
They SO pissed me off. They did this speech about how my previous (non-existent) donation gave a girl with cancer a tricycle she could ride and then tried to guilt-trip me into contributing. I point out my mum had cancer, so I know what they went through so when I say "Sorry", it's not out of ignorance. So they do the SAME DAMN SPEIL ALL OVER AGAIN.

It's not been too bad. I'm sat on an uncomfortable seat between a florist and a sushi bar, effectively hidden from passers by (but I do get the fun of freaking people out weeping angel style since they assume I'm a statue). Management tried to drum up business by putting the BINS next to me, so I would get more traffic.
And there is something freaky about that place. Half the population seem to have mental problems or disabilities. I mean, five out of six people I meet would be politely dubbed "special" and less politely "BRUSH YOUR FUCKING TEETH YA LOONEY!"
I've had more adults with child's minds than children on my lap this year. And that's not good no matter WHICH context it's in.

Oh, man. I gather it's all better now?
Technically, it would be Eli, surely? "Fuck Destiny, that girl ain't wearing clothes and I got a torch!"
Lmao! I've seen people online being exasperated about Eli's attitude, saying with his abilities he's the best candidate to command the ship (an idea I, erm, cannot say I subscribe to) and that he needs to be more take-charge. Maybe what the show needs is an episode where Pvt. NJ Verkoff is on Communication Stone duty and they see what exactly happens when Eli becomes 1000% take charge..

Isn't that incentive not to give money? I mean, "I've done my bit, sod off"
I point out my mum had cancer, so I know what they went through so when I say "Sorry", it's not out of ignorance.
Your mum had cancer? It's pretty rare to hear stories about people who came out the other side.
So they do the SAME DAMN SPEIL ALL OVER AGAIN.
Telemarketers are not generally known for their ad-libbing skill. As I discovered when I got a telephone survey on roadside advertising on Christmas morning right after I woke up.
Most of the questions began with "On trips of length greater than an hour" and I had to keep reminding her that I was doing my Ls solely through driving lessons and had never made a trip longer than an hour. One of my more bastardly moments as I dedicated my energies to rubbing all of my anger and frustration onto her via rudeness and clearly succeeded.

I think you've mentioned that before. Have you considered a busking career?
Management tried to drum up business by putting the BINS next to me, so I would get more traffic.
The alternative of relocating you into the men's bathroom was vetoed by one vote.
I mean, five out of six people I meet would be politely dubbed "special" and less politely "BRUSH YOUR FUCKING TEETH YA LOONEY!"
Still some way off being the David Jones Santa, then? (Is there actually any sort of Santa echelon?)
Oh, man. I gather it's all better now?
Kinda. It's a long story that probably deserves its own blogpost.
Lmao!
Well, I'm frankly impressed he was such a gentleman, all truth told.
I've seen people online being exasperated about Eli's attitude, saying with his abilities he's the best candidate to command the ship (an idea I, erm, cannot say I subscribe to)
He's got a very clever brain, but he's still basically a teenager out of his depth. Is this not clear enough?
and that he needs to be more take-charge. Maybe what the show needs is an episode where Pvt. NJ Verkoff is on Communication Stone duty and they see what exactly happens when Eli becomes 1000% take charge..
"So how exactly did you join SG1, Private?"
"Oh, well, let's just say that me and Major Carter... BOOMSHAKALAKA!!"
"...right."
"And might I say what a wonderful bra you're not wearing tonight?"
*Verkoff left on quarry planet with Rush*
"Oh, VERY fucking mature! YOU COULD AT LEAST GIVE ME BACK MY TROUSERS, YOU MALIGNANT WHORE!"
Isn't that incentive not to give money? I mean, "I've done my bit, sod off"
You're supposed to burst into tears at what joy you've made and contribute because that could be the LAST CHILD THEY EVER MAKE HAPPY WITHOUT *YOUR* MONEY!!!
Your mum had cancer? It's pretty rare to hear stories about people who came out the other side.
Breast cancer, mastectomy, childhood trauma (probably quite a few adults were traumatized as well, if only by my four-year-old self in long scarf, hat and coat screaming obscenties at hospital staff when they dragged me away from my mum's bedside...)
Telemarketers are not generally known for their ad-libbing skill. As I discovered when I got a telephone survey on roadside advertising on Christmas morning right after I woke up.
...wow.
Have you considered a busking career?
Once. Didn't work.
The alternative of relocating you into the men's bathroom was vetoed by one vote.
Because it's my changing room.
Still some way off being the David Jones Santa, then?
To be honest, it's balanced out - apathetic staff, ridiculous position, no one to talk to (ie, a photographer), no changing room...
(Is there actually any sort of Santa echelon?)
Kind of, all based on how much you look like Santa outside of outfit, how old you are, if you smoke, hours willing to be done, and the publicity gained.
Very good indeed. Any chance of having a page with the actors who "plays" the parts? I understand that there have been 2 katies and 2 Kyles?
And one dude who plays 2 or three parts. It's all confusing, hard to keep track of them.
Happy New Year btw, hope you're out having fun instead of sitting by the computer like I am. ;P
Very good indeed.
Thank you. The only page into which I've put ANY effort (a sketch for a GBer called Amy Pond) will be up in due course.
Any chance of having a page with the actors who "plays" the parts?
I did something similar with the "exes of Chatham". You must remember that it is bloody difficult to find out who the cast are, since Spara says things like "the one off Corrie" and expects us to know who the hell he's on about. Other times, he doesn't mention a cast at all.
I understand that there have been 2 katies and 2 Kyles?
You are right. I forget who the different actors were, though.
And one dude who plays 2 or three parts. It's all confusing, hard to keep track of them.
You said it.
Happy New Year btw, hope you're out having fun instead of sitting by the computer like I am. ;P
Just seeing if I can get a copy of the End of Time part two...
