Faces of NATO? Come lovely bombs on them others.

 

[butchersapron]

WOW

dissent as lifestyle

[DaveCinzano]

She has a dream

 

[DotCommunist]

do we need those flourished g's? I know its a minor point to pick up on but its a slippery slope from curlicued g's to using smiley faces to dot your I's

 

[butchersapron]

She has a dream

I have a dream

 

[ViolentPanda]

WOW

I'm sure that both the irony and the contradictions have entirely passed her by.

I've been trying to avoid this thread but this ^^^^ is the last straw. I used to be pretty bad, but I was never THIS bad. Jesus, how is this not a parody or intentional self-mockery? It's unbelievable. It looks like something a pair of 14-yr-olds would do for the school newspaper ...

She is the lovechild of Pandora and Adrian Mole

perfect. All yours?

 

[Orang Utan]

Yes, that last pic made me think of Adrian. Did they end up having kids? Only read the first couple of books

 

[killer b]

Dunno. I only read the first one after growing pains, and it was shit. Pandora became a labour party policy wonk though, fittingly enough.

I imagine the first two are probably shit too, but they were amazing when I was 13.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Now is that your final opinion on the matter?

 

[DaveCinzano]

I quite like the artwork, but I think Isy Morgenmuffel's and Kate Evans' stuff speaks to me more.

ETA:

So I guess that means that Molly Crabapple's is blanking me
