SILENCE! #44

I SAID RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN
Hellohellohello and a merry festive jingle bell to all the fleshy ones, from Disembodied Narratorbot X-15735! It’s that time of year when I like to upgrade my log fire app, hang the nano-tinsel on the synthi-tree 3000 and raise a luke warm glass of cyber-nog to all of you as we ring in the season with this festive XXXMAZZ-tacular edition of the only podcast that knows whether you’ve been naughty or nice but simply doesn’t care…it’s SILENCE! [HO HO HO etc]
<ITEM> There’s a very busy pre-end of the world edition of the SILENCE News, with live reports from the ongoing Mozzer/Moore Magickal War and the hot breaking story Avengers Vs X-Mas…hold onto your hats please. thank you.
<ITEM> Special variety yuletide theme continues with musical interlude recounting time that Gary and The Beast hung out with Iggy & The Stooges. Of course.
<ITEM> Grab my hand, Snowman-style and we will walk air-wards into the Reviewniverse. And in doing so will hear merryfestive tales of…Change, Walking Dead, Justice League, Jennifer Blood, Batman, Winter Soldier, Popeye, Caligula, Battlefields, Saucer Country, Iron Gland, Fantastic Four, Minute Men and the Christmas miracle that is Prison Pit.
So why don’t you throw Grandma on the fire, spark up the ol’ pipe, shovel sweets down your gullets like seagulls swallowing fish heads and check your ears into the comics podcast of the 1977 Morecambe and Wise Christmas special…SILENCE!!
Disembodied Narratorbot X-15735 wishes you all a very glitch-free Christmas and an ugraded New Year.
SILENCE! is proudly sponsored by the two greatest comics shops on the planet, DAVE’S COMICS of Brighton and GOSH COMICS of London.

John Smith as an influence on Change – yes, 100% yes, definitely an influence.
John Terry will be co-writing my next thing. It’s about a quite successful soccer player who decides to undergo a sex change because he very much wants to be a ballerina.
(Glad you liked the comic!)

I think you missed a trick when you went to visit the Stooges, Mr Lactus. You probably could’ve made Iggy your dog and taken him for a nice walk, ‘Fetch the ball, Iggy!’

It’s basically because of this podcast that while on a recent triP to Seattle I dropped 500 bucks or so at the fantagraphics house store. (it’s a nice store they gave me some canvas bags and all the floppies I had picked out for free, as they were like Jesus that’s a lot of comics). But you know, all of prison pit, worth it.

My Avengers vs. Xmas fanfic
Moore and Morrison show up at the north pole holding hands since Santa rang them and not the podcast with his mid battle cel call. They loan him the intellectual property magik use of Zenith and Miracleman to end the conflict with the Avengers rather…decisively.
I’d get the guy who draws Axe Cop on pencils and his kid brother on finishes.
Thanks, as ever, for a wonderful 2012 worth of pods.

Pat Backs and Shake Hands? are they parallel world versions of Pat Mills & Shakey Kane? (or is it former Young Communist League member Shakin’ Stevens?)
Anyway, thanks for the podcasts and hope you have a good 2013
