Guys, don't do the thing that about 90% of goons do and conflate characters in comic strips with their authors to any degree.

No, not even when those characters look like and/or are called the same as the author.

"This patio will keep you out of the way while I commit murder!" God, I love Viz. They get the tone and style of the Beano just right, and then make it completely not suitable for kids.

By all accounts Ronnie is actually a very nice, well adjusted guy who just shares some hobbies with his comic persona. Comic Ronnie is him laughing at himself more than loathing.

I've read a few Viz annuals at a bar and every single page of them was consistently naff pedestrian poo poo that only the most dull-minded of individuals would ever voluntarily read (:ironicat:). Are these Drunken Bakers a new development?

Drunken Bakers have been around a while, though the books you read may have been wayyyy older.

Besides the Farmer/Healey stuff (http://farmerhealey.com/index.htm) a lot of the stuff in the Viz mostly resonates if you grew up reading the Beano and Dandy where most comics started with "Young Timmy Black was the luckiest boy in town, for he owned a magical pair of slippers" or whatever.

Also 8 Ace.

Anyone have old Cat and bear strips saved? I think they're gone, or else my google-fu is weak. "Cat and bear comic" doesn't narrow it down a lot, even if I add some phrases I remember from it.

The ones that stick out for me are the one where the cat makes a bunch of paper cranes, and another where the bear starts a forest fire and gets handcuffed by Smokey.

I grabbed what should be the whole collection shortly before they disappeared from the web. Lemme know if this link doesn't work and I'll try and upload somewhere else.

Yeah, stuff like "Harold & Fred" up there or "The Adventures of Pol Pot & Idi Amin" is a spot on parody of those comics. They sometimes do it more blatantly, like with "Desperately Unfunny Dan" or, after DC Thompson threatened to sue them "DC Thompson: The Humourless Scottish Git".

On it's very best day, the quality of Viz would be charitably described as "all over the loving place". When they're good they're loving amazing but when they're not they're pretty loving dire. Though their written stuff is generally a lot more consistent than the comics.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
