Mindless Ones

Somebody must have mentioned it at the time. I’m sure I missed it. I mean, how could that little image in the right hand of the panel go unnoticed?

Still just about relevant, here’s what we talked about after midnight as we looked forward with brave faces into the howling winds of a future known as 2009.

Sorry I’m late, been ill. Consider this white and creamy palmfull my contribution to the first annual Mindless Ones Dot Com todgersonthetablefest.

It’s my turn.

Temerity, self importance, vanity and arrogance after the jump. Best of lists? I ask you!

Hey!  Great to see you!  Yeah, great party!  That Amy Poodle sure knows how to get a great looking, interesting and fun group of people together in a room and provide appropriate circumstances for that group of people to enjoy themselves!  Anyway, me and the rest of these Mindless Ones are off to a quiet corner to talk about comics.  You coming?  Great!

Hey! Look at these!

Enjoy some pictures of stuff we plan on talking about at this great party after the jump…

Like Nick Kent straining to keep afloat in a pool of anti-mirror (the photographer snapping a few off for the cover of The Dark Stuff before his subject’s arms give out and he’s resubmerged, the black mind-vomit of the last eon’s keepers sloshing gently on the surface the only indication he ever managed to clamber back up those cold fathoms and out into the light, albeit for a few frantic seconds of splashing and flailing), Batman # 683 tells the story of one man drowning under the weight of super-rock star excess the pressures of which us mere mortals can never hope to understand.

If a tall dark stranger approaches you with a fun, brightly coloured costume, just say no, kids.

follow the bat-pole down, down…

This list is going to be a little unconventional. It’s going to include things like websites for starters, because, hey, this is the future, and we want to let you guys know we’re not all *old media* here in the dark dimension. Also, it’s going to alternate between an ‘amypoodle recommends’ kinda thing and an actual ‘best of’ list. If it was solely the latter, then I’m afraid it would be rather boring:
‘I went to see Batman at the I-Max and it was reaaaally gooooood’, you know the score. And most of it wasn’t produced this year either. Sorry.

poodle xmas dance, poodle xmas JUMP!

…And here’s the second part of our disturbing bounce on Father Tymbus’s knee (part 1 here). If you listen to the end you’ll find the unveiling of our amazing competition. Two competitions in fact! With prizes!! GREAT PRIZES!!! Actually one of them’s great and the other one not quite so.

Enjoyable season to you, dear reader!

A few weeks ago, Myself, Amy Poodle, Bobsy, Zom and The Beast Must Die all got together for some festive fun. We thought it might be a good idea to visit a remote Xmas theme park that had recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Father Tymbus’ Xmas Grotty turned out to be a magical visit that none of us will ever forget, a visit that we here at Mindless Ones are happy to share with you today.
