Moore radio please

Comic book writer Alan Moore appeared on the Radio 4 show Chain Reaction being interviewed by comedian Stewart Lee.

A transcript of the programme appears at Comic Book Resources.

AM: The DC comics were always a lot more true blue. Very enjoyable, but they were big, brave uncles and aunties who probably insisted on a high standard of you know mental and physical hygiene. (audience laughs) Whereas the Stan Lee stuff, the Marvel comics, he went from one dimensional characters whose only characteristic was they dressed up in costumes and did good. Whereas Stan Lee had this huge break through of two-dimensional characters. (audience laughs) So, they dress up in costumes and do good, but they've got a bad heart. (audience laughs) Or a bad leg. (audience laughs) I actually did think for a long while that having a bad leg was an actual character trait. (audience laughs)

Frogger

While looking through Google's links for the Irish classic The Third Policeman I ran into this site : Frogboy and was immediately interested in the character Rabbi Burns.

Rabbi Burns was born in Scotland, and still retains British nationality, a Scottish accent, and a penchant for kosher haggis, single malt whiskies, heather, and the kilt. He spends part of his time in the Orkney Isles, in London, on the Isle of Wight and in Jerusalem over-seeing his shop, Cheeses of Nazareth. His favourite snacks are Baby Bel - or, as he calls them, Little Baby Cheeses. He has been known to eat a dozen for breakfast.

Doggy style

Conversation in pub in Spoons between J and W.

J: "Yeah, so my wife is learning to drive at the moment and.."
W:"aye I seen her spinning about Safeways carpark. I think shes into, what do you call that thing Stan Colliemore was into? oh yeah.. dodging"

Much hilarity.

J:"What? Like you do at the sideshows?"
W:"Huh?"

J:""I think you mean 'dogging'"
W:"Aye, thats what I said - doggie-ing"

More hilarity.
