Get Marwood & I

I think the only time it didn't work for me was for the biggest post I ever drafted. It probably did the forum a favour though, thinking about it. Nobody likes Charlton.

Don't be sorry Robot, I'm only teasing. This is how clubs run at CGC. You have to have one to be a member. You have three, so a member thee be! Times three (post them in the flesh, it doesn't matter how many times we see them)

That would be in my collection, if it wasn't being sold by Silver-Acre and priced ridiculously. I say sold, he's only had it up for five years. Probably. You know where to ask that one Now, let this be a club of Fly comics, Robot, proudly displayed by their owners. And Jaguars. You must own the Flys and Jaguars, to earn the posting rights. It's in the small print, I believe This club is for the sole purposes of posting Fly and Jaguar comics owned by those who post. Any attempts to post by those who do not own Flys and Jaguars may result in the release of a group of angry voles.

Incidentally, and Roy will likely like this, I have a PKD story which I thought, at the time, was the universe trying to tell me something. In peak PKD appreciation times, I opened a bank account, and ordered a debit card and pin number. The pin arrived and it came as a slip of paper that you had to scratch off to reveal the current pin, which you could then use to change it to something more memorable. I had already decided what I would change it to. When I scratched it off, the existing pin was 2374.

I miss PKD. I had a long period of about 20 years, starting in 1982 (obviously) where I was obsessed, and read everything he wrote and everything written about him. Then I stopped and haven't read one for so long now. Looking at your books makes me incredibly nostalgic but also a little glum, as I sold a lot of mine. Something I regret now, as some things were irreplaceable. Maybe if I hook up to the mood organ I'll feel better......

That seems likely, yes.

@Dr. Balls None of the like options seem appropriate for that post. I just wanted to say I enjoyed reading it, related to it, and I sympathise

Yup. One for each eye This is more like it...

Roy, if you read the post I made below you'll see that my advice, expressed with no small measure of disappointment, is to not bother with the Journal area. The content of the thread explains the background and what led me to that conclusion. Journals Exist! Go and Have a Look at Them

The site has been slow all day here in the UK, buffering intermittently. We just had a 20 minute outage where you could not log in - I tried desktop and mobile. Google Chrome, all other websites fizzing along nicely. Screenshots below of the error codes. @VintageComics Roy, I'm sure you know this already, but if you press send on a big post and it disappears, refresh the page and then go to create a new post. When you do, 99 times out of 100 your post is there again as the system is designed to save it. Another way to safeguard long or detailed posts, which I know many use, is to type it all in word and then cut and paste it in. Not ideal, but it works for text only posts and saves that rotten feeling when you lose a big post that you thought you'd worded perfectly. One other tip - don't have more than one CGC forum tab open when creating a post.

He's not a bee, he's a Fly

Advertisement ™ We now have over 100 posts in Who needs the AF15 Club when you can be a member of All you need to do to be a member of is to post a comic that you own which has the Fly (or the Jaguar) in it. Let's hear it for ™ A thread about comics in Comics General.

Maybe, Captain. Maybe no be. At least people like us have theories.....

The novel was a warning about the dangers of romance? Yes, don't knock boots with body parts sewn together in a mockery of life and then animated via electricity. It's a clear message.

@Cpt Kirk What happened here then

I love that Similar theme, three Spidey #188's: The regular newsstand copy on the left has a very strong, dark red Spidey outline, suggesting it was printed early. The MJI copy in the middle has much lighter red, indicating that the ink was running lower at that stage. The second regular newsstand copy on the right shows the red starting to degrade completely, and it shows as yellow on the cover (Spidey's feet) We know that the guts and covers are printed separately. They would have run off all the covers and, at some point, taken a batch of them to assemble the MJI copies (which we think were done on a different stapling machine as the staple position is often different, and more power would be needed to drive the staple through the comic with a MJI insert). We have no way of knowing whether they took the covers from the top, bottom or middle of the finished cover stacks. So, even though we can see cover variations - errors and reduced ink strength - we can't really use that information to form any robust order of printing guesses, as all scenarios are technically possible. The MJI above may have a mid run cover and a start or end run guts. It looks like the cover came mid run, as how could a cover missing red have preceded it - or a cover with stronger inks followed it? Unless they topped the ink(s) up mid run. Did one lot of ink last an entire cover run? And who won the FA Cup in 1964? And am I taking bollocks now? I feel like I'm talking bollocks now.

He's a proper collector, is our Captain

I see your 12c 9 and raise you to a 15c 9!

I love that cover. There's something unreal about it all, out of place. It's hard to work out who has got the biggest head.

Oh, what rotten news. What a year this has been. I do like the positivity of the farewell message. It's nice to know that the site, which was indeed AMAZING, will remain for those of us that have found it an invaluable resource down the years, but also for the newcomers whose comic inquisitiveness leads them one day to find it. Mike, wherever you are in Comic heaven, I salute you. You gave the hobby this wonderful site. RIP
