Cradlegrave (spoilers within)

[Jim_Campbell]

I'm mildly astonished that no-one seems to have mentioned this, from Gavin's superb 2000AD Review site.

A whole episode of Smiffy's Cradlegrave script, dotted with the relevant frames from the finished artwork. Well worth a look, peeps.

Cheers

Please excuse my ungentlemanly language, but fuck me!

Interesting - the link to a big photo of a skunk plant part way through made me chuckle.

Fair play, I try to do the same myself round where i live.  I spent years and years complaining about the litter in Ireland then realised I was doing absolutely fuck all about it myself.  It's like voting, I suppose - your complaints about the government mean absolutely zero if you never even tried to vote them out.

I think one of the simplest aspects of this issue is the severe lack of street bins in Dublin which indicates to me that those in power have little awareness of what actually goes on in their capital's streets at the most basic levels of existence. Probably because they are used to someone else always tidying up after the mess they've made and that's analogous to just about every other issue in this country at the moment. The basic principles just aren't there.

I was coming home from work yesterday; I got off the bus in my estate and it was a particularly warm, humid day. On walking home, I noticed there seemed to be more bugs flying around then usual, and then I looked down; At every crack in the ground, they were swarming, hundreds of them everywhere, which doesn't usually happen around here. A few of them were still on my clothes when I got into the house. I'm not particularly fond of insects anyway, but I found this pretty creepy, and then the similarities to Cradlegrave hit me. That did not help.
