In my younger days I can think of a few Clive James books and shows which had me speechless and dying of laughter at times. He was a bit insufferable of course but I will always love him for that wit. RIP guy.

If you read some of Clive James select wit and most hilarious humour to the cadaver and it can't conceal how funny and impressed it finds it, then it has failed the death test. Tell it to stop playing silly buggers.

lol

PRRRRRRRACATAN!

i wouldn't worry about well knowness on this thread, every cunt that's ever drawn a comic book usually turns up

Tom Lyle is a desperate reach for well-knownness, but three drawing cunts a week drop off the twig irl, vs the three all year itt

Obv sic I think every ilxor should be free to decide who is notable, I just like being mean about comics people unless they did The Victor

In 1965, Willis added his third name "Dylan" by deed poll in honour of American musician Bob Dylan, of whom he was a fan.

Also borrowed his hairstyle.

RIP, Ron Saunders.

As a Villa fan, I'm biased here perhaps, but Saunders never got the credit he deserved for leading an unfancied and unfashionable club to the English league title in 1980-81. Only 14 players were used in that season's league campaign.

It is the sad duty of Aston Villa Football Club to announce that our former manager, Ron Saunders, has passed away at the age of 87.

One somewhat obscure Robert Walker Jr. film I would recommend is Road to Salina (1970), a weird kind of psych-noir mystery shot in Spain w/ Mimsy Farmer and Rita Hayworth in one of her last roles.
