Yeah, fair point. Agree that the original is better 👍

I did wonder if that might prove to be the answer, glad it wasn’t! 😁

I actually think this strip would also work just as well if the first and second panels were switched, making the “I haven’t seen Calvin…” one into the beat.

As you say, it’s testament to BW’s skill that so much can be achieved with such a simple setup.

EDIT - with apologies to BW, just wanted to see how it’d look. I quite like that it makes C&H further away from catching the car :-)

That’s great, never heard that before. I only know I Can’t Wait from them, will need to check out more!

Following up on this - what a beautiful piece of work this is. Such a rich portrait of the man.

I’m so glad his films found their way to someone who could treat them with such love and respect. Thanks again.

This looks amazing. I just watched the first 15 minutes, but I have to get to bed now and watch the rest tomorrow. Wanted to say thanks now, while I remember 👍

Me too. I enjoyed it but reached a point where I just couldn’t figure out how to proceed. Must go have and have another go sometime.

I was saying the same thing just the other day, although in my case it was for something that was ”2 days ago" - totally unhelpful if you need to know the time it was posted! Just put an absolute date and time (and a timezone stamp if necessary).

Funnily enough, I would refer to a department as “it” rather than “they” 😁

Aw man, I remember my kid having the Biff Chip and Kipper books, but we never got to the end of them as far as I know. That magic key bit was a real twist in what had thusfar been a pretty reality-grounded series. I need to go look up how that story progressed.

Yeah, love Experience too, except for I think it maybe lacks the best mixes IMO of Charly (Alley Cat) and Everybody in the Place (Fairground). Can’t remember 100% off the top of my head, but I think it’s those two.

Always good to see someone pick …Jilted Generation over Fat of the Land. I do like the latter, but MFTJG is perfection.

Great thread idea - you might also enjoy !albumartporn@lemmy.world, which has some pretty out-there covers.

I’ll nominate Abraxas by Santana which has a lot to take in!

Ah ok, didn’t know that. And yeah, the numbers just don’t make sense at all! 😁

No, VAT is 20% (except maybe on a few very specific products)

I loved Ulysses 31, although I never really knew what was going on. It just looked amazing.

Can’t speak for this specific instance of course, but in the UK you occasionally get people flying messages over football ⚽ grounds or whatever, and I have read more than once that the company doing the flying don’t actually know what message they are pulling - they just get the packaged up message and fly it where the customer asks them to.

Don’t know if that’s true, though and it’s arguable whether that absolves them completely of responsibility for the message being shown.

EDIT - that being said, the first example I found contradicts me - here, the message was known by everyone, including the pilot!

EDIT 2 - a particularly nasty example here, where someone mentions banners not being checked. They definitely should have been.

“Due to the nature of the activity, banners are not checked before take-off and the content is at the operator’s discretion.”

And then if someone finds it, it’ll be a UFO… oh wait…

Uh-huh. Uh-huh-uh-huh.

Driver 8 by R.E.M. is a great one. Will try to think of more 👍

EDIT:

• Solomon Burke’s version of Fast Train
• Last Train to Trancentral - The KLF
• Blue Train - John Coltrane
• More of a tram than a train, but still in the same spirit I think - The Trolly Song - Judy Garland
• Actually the theme song to a Saturday-morning kids’ TV show in the UK, The 8:15 from Manchester by Inspiral Carpets is a cracker. It might be about a bus though, I’m not sure.

EDIT 2

• How could I forget Dark and Long (Dark Train) by Underworld???
• Also by them - Techno Shinkansen
• Groovy Train - The Farm
