Viz

Is anyone else obsessed? (UK comic & general comedy magazine.)

I figured I'd give it a plug for any UK comic fans who haven't heard of it. Buy it, it's hilarious.

LOL, awesome. (Well... in a way...)

Did you see the article on how we're running out of time, parodying fuel problems? I think it's from a couple of years ago, but it's one of my favourite Viz things ever. It was fucking hilarious. They consulted a panel off experts that turned out to be actors who've played Dr. Who for 'tips', and even had a little Jeremy Clarkson column at the bottom going, "I'll waste as much time as I want. My granddad fought two World Wars for my right to waste time. From now on I'm going to put my trousers on with chopsticks every morning - that'll be one in the eye for those fascist hippies."

Viz is awesome, I remember buying my first issue back in 1988 when I was 16, and it was the funniest and most craziest thing I read.

My favourite characters were Roger Irrelevant, Johnny Fartpants, Roger Mellie The Man On Telly, and Biffa Bacon !!!.

Those were the days !!!.

Did you watch the `Comics Britannia` (documentary series on the history of British comics) that was on BBC 4 a year ago (and sometimes still repeated on a blue moon) ?

They had a feature on Viz on the last episode !!!.

I didn't, but that sounds awesome. I'll see if I can stream it anywhere - you sometimes get lucky with random things like that.

Yay. Viz people.
