Yeah, it looks like they did all the boards in one fell swoop. I got mine, too. And I also need to update my page...and start working on comics again.I like British humor. I have to admit, I was a little lost on the end of the "Blotanic" storyline...then again, I was just trying to read them fast so I could catch up. I should go back and read it again in detail, I suppose.After what I've been through, sometimes I wish my college experience was more like "Blotto Street"...at least I wouldn't have to put up with the "ghosts" at the end of the hall.------------------

It is here, and about time, too. Congratulations.
Hrm. Let's see if I can send this off without by browser crashing. These last few days I'm wondering just what to take for granted. Not that, apparently. No matter. Never mind.(Yes, I'm a Bertrand Russell fan, though I've forgotten the original of that line, and I know it wasn't he who said it...)Looking forward to the day those professors figure out the meaning of the word microphone... and articulation.

The reference I was thinking of was the people Russell lived with after his parents died- I borrowed a copy of the first volume of his autobio for a while but have forgotten even that significant detail. Speaks a whole lot about my memory. That they would taunt him with those lines, however, I have from some other source or other...)

When I was in college (the first couple of times, before most of you were born) I used to sit up in the stacks at the library and read old issues of Punch. Half of it was topical and made no sense in a contemporary context. There were quite a few gems, though.

Some of those Punch cartoons are still an absolute hoot, especially the ones about topical things like "What are the Devil's Works?" (Clockmaker's Daughter - "Please, Miss, his Insides.") ... or the fashion cartoons. I'm not so familar with the articles.Mab.

Well, y'see, it is a very good comic and all, and there's no reason why it shouldn't have a forum. But I'm not sure if I can ever get used to Maboo as a moderator... I just can't picture him weilding omnicient godlike power. Sorry, Mab. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">

Hey Mabs, you need to get the Keenspace guys to fix your forum. It doesn't have a link to your comic at the bottom.

Calliope · Post by **Calliope** » Mon Oct 23, 2000 9:40 am

Neither does mine. Do any of the Keenspace forums have links to their comics?
