Classic Viz

I'm not English, but can someone explain what Viz is. I Googled it, and all I got was some Japanese comic book, which may or may not explain what is going on here. Regardless, very funny stuff.

That Google can be notoriously tricky to use sometimes.

Am I the only one wondering if beatbeatbeta's post wasn't a Viz related joke?

^I'm not that clever. Figured out that it was the Canadian version of Google leading me astray. Different search rankings. Odd. Cheers for the links.

Aaah. You need to search for the Doug Maradian illettré Canadian strip.

Black Bag the faithful border bin liner.

Spitfire McGuire in Jerry takes a pasting

The Bottom Inspectors

Mickey's Monkey Spunk Moped.

Game over.

absolutely.

Anyone seen the christmas issue and the somewhat Orwellian 'Thought Police' Bottom Inspectors?

I spat tea all over my suit reading that one.

Drunken Bakers needs winding in, too much dialogue nowadays, pictures used to paint a thousand words but now they're dumbing it down too much.. I guess it's a possibly tenuous sad reflection of society in general

The Viz exhibition at the Cartoon Museum on Lt Russel St is great! Spent a good hour there yesterday sniggering as did a few other geezers. Funny to see the artwork up close and the judicious use of copy fluid over dialogue. God only knows what some of it was to begin with!

A timely Viz top tip;

Spoil your mum this mother's day by taking your dad to the pub for a pub lunch. Mum will then only need to cook for one.

lolus.

my flat mate bought a copy of viz which i found lying around this weekend

i have decided to go for the offer they have in this months edition
it's a 1:1 scale model of london underground
1st issue comes with a free rivet .... edition 2 free signage of the underground station of your choice
does anyone else want to help me with this
could be a fun little project

next problem ..... where to dump the 300,000,000 cubic m's of soil ?

anyone need any top soil ?

^ What! Why would I want London Clay? Haven't got any ponds to puddle at the moment.

Breather Ring.

n. An anular indentation on a long turd, indicating where the cable layer has had to pause for breath, allowing the nipsy to partially contract. A faecal aneurism. 'F**k me! That was a bastard to part with. I left it with three breather rings on it.'

take up pottery ?

'Laying cable', 'tramp's oyster', and 'bring home the bacon' are some of my all time favourite profanisaurus entries. Black bag was amazing

I always secretly hoped that Brown Bottle and Cider Woman would bring Baby Cham into the world of inebriated crime fighting.

I still use Meaning of Liff words as normal, particularly 'scraptoft'. It's a great little book that ascribed meanings to place names. Which profanisaurus words are just cheeky vernacular these days? I often think about slang origins that are recent: Did Alan Partridge give us Mentalist?

On a related note, I spotted Pete Tong the other day, and mused on what it must be like to be a new slang word. csb.

one of my favourite Vizisms is getting 'stang off a wasp'

I distinctly remember as kids we used this malapropism - from the East Mids it must have made it's way up north to Newcastle too

Mickey's Monkey Spunk Moped and the subsequent Leopard's Fanny Batter Coupe when he went to four wheels was my favourite one-off comic strip. Th e good old days.

one of the funniest ones:

SO A SPOONFUL of sugar helps the medicine goes down, does it? Well I'm an insulin dependant diabetic, and after following this advice, I am now two months into a life threatening hyperglycaemic coma. Thank you very much, Mary fucking Poppins.

C4HD right now - a real life Buster Gonad. Arf arf etc.

But actually a bit sad for the poor bloke.
