    Steve Donald, Cartoonist, author, illustrator-for-hire and one of the co-founders of the legendary Viz comic passed away in November. (spotted in this months Viz small print!)
    On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"

    And they nearly did.

    Viz used to be very funny.

    Haven't read it in a long time, but it was genius at its best. Then it turned to complete pish.

    The Parkie, Biffa Bacon and Big Vern were all a good laugh. Roger Mellie had good moments as well.

    Not really, no. Simon (the chap who posted on the late Steve Donald's website) was 'silent co-editor' for a spell earlier this decade.

    Chris Donald was the founding editor. He's the one who you may have seen on telly yapping about Viz. He was Ed until his near-breakdown in 1999, at which time a conglomerate of staff calling itself "Fulchester industries" took over the editors duties. This group included the writers & cartoonists Graham Dury, Simon Thorp, Davey Jones, Alex Collier & C&S Donald's younger brother Simon.

    Collier & Simon Donald left the editorial staff in 2003.

    Heard that this morning while wearing my bagpuss socks and my stripy gloves that look like bagpuss after getting out of bed from a night of cuddling my bagpuss toy. Yes I love bagpuss. Thank you Oliver. RIP. x

    Since she was 85 when she died, how do you remember what she was like in her heyday ?

    And speaking of pin-ups, it's farewell to Kathy Staff aka Nora Batty of Last of the Summer Wine fame:

    She was in the orignal pilot as a cold ruthless First Officer. Exec's didn't like her, or Spock. They said lose the girl or the alien. Roddenberry used say he kept the Alien and married the girl.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
