The New Adventures Of Tarkus - watch out, colossal .jpg which I'll swap for a smaller .gif as soon as I get some proper software grr.

That's just genius.

Best comic strip ever. No lie.

Ooof. I am humbled. Most excellent.

If you need help with downsizing the jpg pic, just send it to me and I'll do it for you.

That really captures everything that is great about Tarkus (ie the art work)! Cool! I would love to see Tarkus vs. Madonna.

priceless! hail thee, tarkus. (i ought to listen to it... now!)

Filled with beauty, it is. Al returns!

This = genius, and even better that "kargorrok, eater of souls" by savage pencil. I have posted the URL on a couple of prog mail lists. We shall see if anyone there "gets it". I always wanted to do a vietgrove gig poster showing either the clash being crushed under a roger dean style upside-down mountain or sid vicious being decapitated by peter gabriel, but this is 1000x better than any of that. Al Ewing = my new hero.

Better than 'My Fighting Technique is Unstoppable'!

Absolutely brilliant.

it's getting an airing on rec.music.progressive - and there's some ridiculous guff by one poster who seems to have it in for freaky trigger big time!

Heh heh heh. Why do I have a feeling this person's name might just happen to be G*****a B*b, perhaps?

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

His post is v. funny - "I doubt the Strokes have even heard of David Gedge!"

― Tom, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Therein lies the reason why I could not take the Pazz and Jop poll seriously...

I did like the trashing ol' GB got in return on the thread:

"As far as I can tell, the cartoon is drawn by a self-confessed fan of The Strokes. Your fantasies about snobbery and anti-US bigotry have a very tenuous connection to what's actually on the site and are probably just a hangover from old Usenet flame wars."

It's STAGGERING how long people can hold grudges.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But he wears it like a crown.
