It was Go Ahead. They weren't very good.
It is the name of plasticy cheerful Blue Peter-style radio show for kids on BBC Radio 4.
It's so bad that my little 10 year old brother runs across the room with his hands on his ears to switch it off any time it comes on. Those executive types really know their target audiance...

they should have never got rid of the radio 4 children's plays. they were much better.

The name "The 404... of Professor Z!" is the only thing holding that title. The closest thing to it, which the name is loosely based off of, is "The Five Thousand Fingers of Dr. T" which is a movie written by Dr. Seuss in the 1950's.

This was not intentional.

When I first saw your name I wondered.

When I type in Professional Thievery, I get links to articles about art thiefs. Kinda mundane, I know.

My (currently not online) comic is called "The Thirteenth Month" and I get a bunch of links containing the phrase 'a thirteenth month's salary' and a site about The Egyptian Early calendar. Boring.

*squee!!*

the one where satan reveals who he is to his wife

i've read it so many times i remember it though (closely enough at least):

Squee: "Eeeek!! I don't wanna eat the toasty souls of the damned!!"
Pepito: "I thought we were having Stove-Top ... I want none of this soul toast!!"
Satan's Wife (to Satan): "What's he talking about, Juan? I didn't cook any souls."
Satan: "Ah, yes. I've been meaning to tell you. See, I'm Satan."
Satan's Wife: "Hmm ... that would explain the basement. But, I've always been such a good Christian ..."
Satan: "Well, then, let's both be thankful for irony."

it's funnier too cuz she wears a big cross necklace.

and speaking of squee, i think that was the book that motivated me to make my comic in the first place =O although i like jthm better. (and speaking of jthm i caught a reference in yeahduff's wednesday page to it ... hehehe)

Also, the irony worries the poop out of me. I am very erk because I don't like offending people.

well considering i openly make fun of religion in my comic i'm on a different page there =/ i still think it's funny though to name a comic about hell after a major christian organization =O

Someone has a blog with my comic's name.

And there is a homeless newspaper, too.

I feel your pain.

A lot of Vasquez is really cool and a lot of it is hideously self-indulgent. It's definitely worth looking at, though.

Try Googling "Pals". I'm amazed anyone at all has managed to find my comic, ever.

I used to create sound-alike names from existing words. The term "dashing" means "lively and spirited", and the name "Dasien" came out of that.

There's apparently a Playstation 2 game called Hissatsu Pachinko Station V3.

MoonDog was an avant-garde composer, some indie art project, an underground fantasy comic from the 70's and countless businesses worldwide. Obviously, I could have thought up something a little more original...
