Now that's funny. Perhaps The Beano ought to be mining vigorously that kind of cause and effect situation humour.matrix wrote:Apparently, Erickson and another band member were so out of it on the above that they were found waiting in line to buy tickets for their own concert.
It's quite gratifying to learn, Steve, that your eBay username is as close to your heart as my comicsuk username is to me. As for the song, though, I'm struggling to make much sense of it. Have I just not had enough mind-altering substances?stevezodiac wrote:These lyrics from Slip Inside This House by the 13th Floor Elevators should answer that - one of my favourite songs ever.

Gotta agree with ya there Peter, The Dandy definitely deserves better than the sales it gets.Shame they mixed his story up. Dinosaurs were an opponent of Strang the Terrible, not Morgyn. Probably got mixed up because both strongmen were in early Beanos.Peter Gray wrote:Morgyn the mighty in Nuke Noodle...I do love old characters making an appearance and part of the story..
the Dandy I enjoy more than The Beano...
I think it's time we all accepted that the amount of deep and sincere analysis which can sensibly be performed on Alexander Matthews' scripts is severely limited.Digifiend wrote:Shame they mixed his story up.

They did reprint some of Strang's stories as Morgyn the mighty strips though as this thread demonstrates. The characters are pretty much identical anyway and so are a number of other strongmen characters from the Beano, such as the one in The Shipwrecked Circus but those can't be reprinted as Morgyn the Mighty stories because of the additional characters.Digifiend wrote:Shame they mixed his story up.
