We know what Mark S thinXoR but what about the rest of you? And that can be thin Maggie or fat Maggie. And yes I suppose you're allowed Izzy or Penny if you feel like being contrary, or one of the male characters if you feel like being REALLY contrary heh.

This is a Love And Rockets thread in case you didn't know (and if you didn't know why not eh).

I always wanted to be Hopey (I'm a bit to tall though), she's my idol, but I think I prefer Maggie, esp. thin Maggie, but I like fat Maggie because I can relate to her and I love the fact that they were brave enough to have a fat chick and she was still hot even when she was fat. It's boring having heroines who are perfect and it's even worse having ones who binge eat but never get fat.

Shut up Ewing you bastard I have NO idea what you're on about and the HEAD POX has kicked in and what's happened to the world???!?!?!

― Sarah, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Crikey I sounded a bit like Ally there (apart from I do not think she would say HEAD POX) in my defiant non-understanding of what the flipping heck you're on about, that's strange. Oy vey.

I'm with Mr Sinker on this one. Though I've always had a bit of a thing for Maggie as well.

Starry you would like Love And Rockets it is about punXoR chiXoR hanging out and getting into trouble.

As for me I'm a Maggie guy all the way. Fat Maggie num num.

ewings on the money here. chester square maggie esp. = rowr. sigh...i <3 maggie.

Which one was the wrestler?...Love and Rockets, never got into that. They sure did sit around alot. But maybe 10 years later I ought to check it out again, which book is good to start with?

― james, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe you should lend me it then Tom! I'm all about the punXor chiXors and STUFF.

I am just remembering that I read a comic once, it was called Kill Yr Boyfriend about a straitlaced chiXoR who goes off with a young punk, yah yah murder death killing spree yah de yah in the end he dies and she becomes a housewife who poisons her family with cyanide cheers cheers. It wasn't amazing. I remember reading it one night @ my friends house in Blackpool. Later on that night we were trying to cut ourselves with butter knifes - the winner would get the last bit of vodka. Hrmmmmm!

I believe that none of us managed to make an incision and we left the Vladivar and looked at it in the morning with horror.

Does anyone keep their COMIX in plastic sleeves that's what I wanna know. DorXor.

knives....

― Sarah, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Any true collector of comics keeps them in plastic sleeves!

― james, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah alright Sarah I'll lend you one. But they're at my parents house so it won't be soon.

― Tom, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

james l&r = you gotta start at the beginning, or you'll be lost forever. nature of the beast. (and yes, they sat around alot, but that was the point! also, they looked ROWR while sitting, so no harm, no foul.)

― jess, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are there any collected edition reprint thingys of this?

― DG, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this is at the publisher's site

― toraneko, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sure you could all have found this yourselves if you'd wanted to this here but I reckon it's worth mentioning because it's a very good review of L&R.

― toraneko, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's a THIN Maggie? Oh, damn, I'm all over that.

― David Raposa, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not to discriminate, of course. I'll take Maggie in all her many incarnations. To block, even.

― David Raposa, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maggie, up to the time of "the lost women" basically thin (?)...but, as i've stated before, plump maggie = rowr moreso.

dg, if you steer your ship to any well stocked comic bookery store (whaddya got over there, forbidden plane?) they should have the reprints. (18 odd volumes now?)

― jess, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aaaaaaaaar, I might be doin' that, then.

― DG, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maggie - especially in the flashback of when they first meet, when she trashes the principal's office *sigh*.

There weren't all that many likeable male characters in L&R (tell me if I'm I wrong here), but Speedy was pretty great.

― fritz, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yep, they are all at the Planet or probably Mega City Comics (Inverness Street, Camden) too.

― james, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I liked izzy best.

― Norman Phay, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i think dave's taste in women is some elaborate practical joke.

― ethan, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is that comment exemplary of the Dave Q wit you love so much?
