SILENCE! #182
March 31st, 2016
MUSIC TO QUIET THE MAN MADE OF METAL AND BRICKS
“I say” said Bunty, as she shone her torch at the corpse. Maggots writhed beneath the beam. “What a jolly disgusting mess!”
“Yes,” I agreed “utterly rum!”
“Nanny must have slipped and fallen down the cellar steps. Look at the strange angle of her head!” Bunty wrinkled her nose in disgust. ” I suppose this rather explains the smell coming through the floorboards”.
“Rather!” I trilled. “And I suppose that this means we should call the police too?”
Bunty shot me a crafty look. “Well…we could. Or we could see what Nanny tastes like?”

Confession: I goodied, like, all over 1/3 of Ben Affleck: You Won’t Like Me When I’m Crossfit.
Away I stumble, completed drenched in shame like the Stridulum ep! Shame is the crisco of emotion.

Agree with the TBMD that 2000 AD isn’t very exciting just now. It always feels a bit flat when there’s not a story by Mills, Grant or Wagner in there. Even though Pat Mills in particular can veer between great and crap, there’s something comforting about their presence. Although I am quite enjoying Gordon Rennie’s well researched Aquila.
I think it’s very impressive that Gary Lactus has promised to carefully re-edit all the old Silence! episodes with each episode number’s relevance to the wonderful world of comics. I will of course listen to every episode again to hear this audio gold, but what about putting them into a Silence numerology Patreon special for those other slightly less dedicated Silence! listeners out there?

PRIME TO EXPLODE ON THE STREETS OF THE CITY!
Surely it can only be a matter of time before the Ultraverse Prime movie adaptation?

Lovely work sirs.
My other half is eager to watch BatvSups, me, not so much. Someone offered me a ticket to that Leicester Square premier thing, but I’d just got back from a trip and was pretty knackered and didn’t really fancy it anyway. My loss.
That Prime tune is pure gold.
