    Fraggle Rock! Probably before your time.
    It was a televisual phenomenon about racial tension between three distinctly different groups of inhabitants of a remote island. The smaller you were, the harder you worked; the larger you were, the more stupid and dangerous you were...

    Fraggle Rock???? Sorting through a pile of DVDs last night I came across the Fraggle Rock box set. Which I'd forgotten I had bought. But then again I'd forgotten I'd got the Muppet Show season 2 as well. And the Jetsons, and a pile of other stuff I'm probably never going to get around to watching.

    Fulton McKay or John Gordon Sinclair? Long live Sprocket!!

    I'm away and in the car and on my phone - could you put aside anything you think I should read and I'll fetch 'em on Paid Comic Book Day (Sunday)?

    so what did people think of the issues this year. Ive only read a few, but already hucked on Mouse Guard... did not expect a Lady Gaga comic though :s
    and did anyone find a copy of Atomic Robo or The Sixth Gun?
  23.  
    Fractured Fables was surprisingly better than I anticipated. Both Atomic Robo & Sixth Gun are pretty good, but the best of the few titles that I picked up......The Stuff Of Legend.
  24.  
    I need to get ahold of them...
