Gee Rob-Adlerman no need to be insulting

Sorry mate, that wasn't intentionally insulting.

2000AD used to be very tong in cheek and very dry in its humour, lampooning its american counterparts. i think it may have lost its way at some point. then again, i have not read it in years.

and you cannot tell me that Thrudd the barbarian is serious.

the thing about "super hero" is that it is a relative term, tempered by local cultures and folk lore. so it depends on how you define it

Aye, that's what made the early stuff good I guess. I guess it's also what starts my dislike of the whole men-in-tights thing.
Thrudd is excellent, definately not serious, but it makes it.

Even Dredd has gotten a little too blood and guts.

While this might be regarded as typical American insensitivity, I'm totally horking this picture as a new avatar.  I beg Canadians' forgiveness.  While I'm not Canadian, I lived in nearby Buffalo for quite a while, danced at The Continental Club with any number of black-clad Canadian women, regarded The Tragically Hip as among the best bands in the world, and drank huge amounts of Labatt Ale.  Am I forgiven?
