I think he was into scuba diving and then started writing a thing about the evils of fascism re: diving, but got carried away and can no longer get his rocks off to anything but ray gun firing squads and scuba diver eating machines

Didn't he had this revenge fantasy when SEA PATROL came to his old diving club and wrecked poo poo? I think it was one of the earlier comics when SEA PATROL was relatively tame i e only destroying diving gear and arresting recreational diver scum instead of the firing squad.

Sadly they only thing I could find is this picture called "Back to his old club"


Also, WTF "Let's get this over with without trouble"



Apparently SEA PATROL MEDICAL will perform experiments on you

Isn't this like classic fetish escalation? You start off with a weird but not-too-weird kink, you indulge it till it's no longer thrilling, and need to escalate it to find the fun again.

imo the origin story here has gotta be something like guy was a scuba diver who kept going places he shouldn't have and he got fined or banned or something and coped by coming up with this whole elaborate fantasy about a fascist police state that came into power on a platform of ethnically cleansing scoobydoos

LBS for Geiger counters, various medical devices, aeronautical and space program stuff.

quote:

Low-background steel is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first atomic bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. With the Trinity test and the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, and then subsequent nuclear weapons testing during the early years of the Cold War, background radiation levels increased across the world. Modern steel is contaminated with radionuclides because its production used atmospheric air. Low background steel is so called because it does not suffer from such nuclear contamination. This steel is used in devices that require the highest sensitivity for detecting radionuclides.

The primary source of low-background steel is ships that were constructed before the Trinity test, most famously the scuttled German WWI battleships in Scapa Flow.

He wrote his own origin story, fishermans association formed gangs to attack recreational diver scum. Nobody objected because of course no sane person would support filthy recreational divers, than skip some years and its SEA PATROL.

i think the initial trigger was probably he went diving and looted some shellfish or scrap and then got told off by some guy at the scuba club

the whole 'thats someones livelihood' refrain comes up a lot in these comics

then he probably started popping wood when he drew some scooby doos tied up and the rest is history

Sea Patrol is essentially the Justice Department from Judge Dredd. He's just creating his own fantasy universe out out the things he likes, which seem to be 2000ad comics and scoobydooing. When you think about it the elements of his storytelling are fairly conventional. A knowingly schizophrenic depicton of fascism. Inviting the reader to find something admirable in an anti-hero character (or organization in this case). A dystopian warning about the future. Anthony Appleyard whips us into a frenzy of authoritarianism with his depiction of Sea Patrol's iron regime; we can't help but sneakingly admire the purity of their crusade against recreational scuba diving. But then we come to our senses and see that this could be our future if we don't halt the government or something. It acts as a timely call to action, there but for the grace of god.

I think my 20 years as hurricane chaser might be a little relevant ive been through more hurricanws than moat shiitty newscasters
I still think its sea hunt. It was really popular here and its was basically the same it just never explained why people were constatntly trying to cut the air hoses of this poor recreational scuba diver. I think he just sort of filled in the blanks with some crazy, but the show itself was pretty crazy.

"Mike Nelson (Bridges) is a free-lance scubadiver who has various adventures. Nelson, a former U.S. Navy frogman (having left the service about four years before the series began), is a well-known expert on diving who is often called on for difficult or dangerous projects. Traveling on his boat the Argonaut, Nelson outmaneuvers villains, salvages everything from a bicycle to a nuclear missile, rescues children trapped in a flooded cave, and even a dog. In the pilot episode, Mike rescues a downed Navy pilot from his sunken jet."

It was the number one show back then and i didnt know this but it kicked off leonard nemoy and jack nichlesons career, so it was
pretty popular.

E: he gets his air hose cut in almost every episode.

i read a really long article about some diver guy who was gonna go into the worlds deepest hole with his bro to find a kid who died in it, but he died at the bottom, then his bro was like 'i swear to you, my dead bros wife, i will go down and get him' but then he also died

basically it would have saved us all some time if theyd just been beaten to death with pickaxe handles

Holy poo poo, I remember this, it was actually a really fuckin good one. Didn't the one guy get confused in the murk, like accidentally disturbed something and lost viability and went DOWN thinking it was towards the surface?

Isn't that story where the guy they went down to find ended up floating back up after this? I may be mixing up my terrifying under water death pit stories.

Makes perfect sense since he's made Rogue Trooper stuff as well. That's another 2000ad strip IIRC.

The story is the guy went down to get the body, had practiced putting the body in a bodybag a million times, but when they got down there the body was hosed up and basically half buried in the ground, and the guy doing retrieval was super hosed up on his gas mix, got confused and disoriented in the silt he was kicking up trying to stuff his dead friend's corpse into a holdall, and eventually just stopped moving and breathing.

The guy who died trying to retrieve the body was wearing a GoPro or equivalent and apparently the film is pretty harrowing.
