tbh I originally had a suspicion that Brassneck looked like Jack Straw but the subsequent gis was disappointing

Baxendale said his comics were marxist, so maybe the Bash St Kids would all be adult SWP members.

they would be members of RISE

it was a long time ago, and did not make me think it worth seeing him speak on other topics tbh

Re: Baxendale's Marxism - Yes, comic strips like The Swots and the Blots, The Jocks and the Geordies etc etc def restage the battle between DC Thomson management and their alienated workforce (ditto the conflict between Dennis and his nameless dominating Father, and Beryl and her nameless dominating Father, both drawn by the brilliant Davey Law - so many slipperings and punishments).
― Bernie Lugg (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 20:38 (seven years ago) link
in beryl's case as much doting as dominating
i love davey law so much
― mark s, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 20:41 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, his drawing is just funnier than most other artists - so good on the little details of expression and posture. Baxendale's A Very Funny Business includes some wonderful original-size panel reproductions from Dennis where he points out Law's casual mastery of perspective, and the way he accurately (but cartoonishly) draws objects.

no way milo wins. would be nice for piss pig grandad to win, he'll probably be locked up when he returns to the states after getting back from syria so the more international exposure of him the better i'd have thought
