HijiNKS ENSUE - A Geek Webcomic : Lo-FijiNKS: Guest Star Galactica

I read that as '...Weasley and River...' I can just imagine all the Potter fans getting their fantasies on doll-style :P

Loving the lo fijinks style, almost an homage to comics of the past... (If you were making an homage to a person of the gay or lesbian persuasion, would it be a homo-age?) Perhaps Saul Tigh will be a new Doll, for those ladies who appreciate the older man WITH ONE FRAKKIN' EYE!!!

Hehe! From what I have heard from my IT-knowledgeable friend this sounds like IE6 to a tee! Love the comic, the art is brilliant!

Ooh, ooh! Could whoever it is be rubbing a stain out with a chamois leather? Just a thought...

Is it just me or does that last panel smack slightly of the scene in True Lies when Arnie watches Jamie Lee pole-dancing? Down even to the position of the tape-player (now remote) or am I reading too much into this? I am. I'll leave now.

Got to throw a classic in there; Steve McQueen sliding sensuously in and out of a Dodge Charger, sleeping-with-the-enemy style? Awesome comic btw, loved the tapes, had me a right old chuckle! Missus wasn't too impressed, it's quarter to two in the morning here!

Or, even worse, Dr. Who it and have it as a kids TV show, a la The Sarah Jane Adventures. It could be Neville's Adventures in Herbology and every week Nev defeats some dark witch/wizard with his abnormal knowledge of plantlife and along the way the kids learn stuff about potting plants and pruning petunias.

A Potter Mumorperger would be quite cool; based on the attributes you choose the sorting hat sorts you into your house and whatnot, lessons are tutorials, you learn new spells as you level up, do exams and whatnot (Fallout 3 style tutorials as the first few 'years' of your life or hours of gameplay) then you have some fun around Hogwarts, then off into the big bad game world where you choose your path, dark or light, and the game goes from there! Same as KOTOR I suppose, set the game during Voldemort's rise to power and see if you can't change the future or something. I dunno, needs some work :D

I've often pointed my naughty wand at a pair of knickers and shouted 'Alohomora!'

I don;t know squire, I think that the books are far better than the films. None of the films have been able to live up to the depth, the background, the imagination or the characters of the books, and, of course, no film can surpass a half-decent imagination when it comes to interpreting what we see when we read books. And we can like zombies and Potter, they're not mutually exclusive. Unlike Zombies and My Little Pony. Which would be odd.

Why is books in quotation marks? They're printed on pages of paper, they are made up of words and you read them. If that doesn't constitute a book I don't know what does. I'm not usually a militant Potterite but I think I'll don my cloak and draw my wand now to say that, in my well-read, well-rounded, above-averagely-clever-but-by-no-means-a-pretentious-know-it-all opinion I found the books enchanting, the characters believable and well-rounded, the plots always interesting (except for Chamber of Secrets, I'll give you that), entertaining, funny, sad and overall one of the best series of books I've read. I think its lasting appeal comes from the fact that just about anyone, regardless of age, status or level of education, can pick up the Potter books and find something they like in them. As you have yourself. I do think that the death-list at the end of your post is a bit disrespectful to those people who haven't read it yet though, but I'm not getting too uppity about spoilers. I think I've worn the cloak long enough today! :)

Joel, if you want more magicy magicness, you should definitely check out the Tales of Beadle the Bard. It's very short and the stories are very much similar to our muggle fairy stories or childrens' fables, but they do shed light on the world of magic and I often found myself chuckling and praising Rowling for how she slots her world into ours so seamlessly. Beadle the Bard; check it out!

Yes! Nannatoo, however, will probably have no trouble getting a picture in the depths of the underworld. I understand they have excellent digital reception down there. (for those as yet uninitiated into the brilliance that is The Mighty Boosh, check this out... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_mighty_boosh)

Just have all the 'Blue Collar Comedy' shows on back to back and non stop. Awesome comic, laughed my gigantic, pasty white, British arse off, especially at the 'making breakfast in reverse' bit! However, we will be facing the reality of the digital domination fairly soon... Mass panic will ensue and the little old biddies who can't watch Bargain Hunt of weekday lunchtime will be out en-mass threatening the world with their knitting!

I think they work quite well as I knew exactly what they were as soon as I read the first one. Gosh, that was a bit 'teacher's pet' of me wasn't it?! Toff-toff-toff-guffaw-guffaw-toff.

Like, what happens when you flush the toilet...? Where does all that shower water go...? Where do you put the rubbish? Does a balloon-lifted rubbish van (sorry, garbage truck) come and take it away every tuesday at 6:52 am? Is (and this is the big one) the TV reception any better what with you being so much closer to the satellites now? Just a couple of- WAIT! I've got one more... Where does the dog go to the bathroom? Does he just piss up the side of a potted plant? Or, with an amazing degree of forethought and splendid planning, have you toilet trained it already? Any more... Nope... But I'm sure I'll think of some while I'm at work! Just a couple of things I've thought about already this morning!

Gnyaargh! I really want to see this movie but some bloody brilliantly clever chap ('retardus maximus' as I think the original latin goes) has decided that it would be a spiffing idea not to release it in blighty until f**king October!!! WTF is up with that?! Either way, LOVE the comic! Nice work on the house, must have taken ages!

Phone companies were inspired. Compare your flip-phone to a TOS communicator why dontcha, or a PDA to a tricorder. Or a phaser to... damn...

I laughed at the Nokia bit, just added that little nod to reality that original Trek never had. Giggled like a school girl on gas-and-air when Sabotage came on too (however, this reminded me that Star Trek has something of a hatred of trying to make it's own music (No, Klingon opera does NOT count!), and that everyone in it loves 20th century jazz or f**king Bach).
