“A novel and intriguing...glimpse into the weirdly introspective climbing scene. It's great to see the comic book genre being used in this way...let's hope there's more to follow.”

Of course there wasn't... but we've just unearthed the last few copies of november from the bowels of the office. i've not seen a copy for a while but it still feels as organic as it did first time around. the content rings true given the current weather too. depressingly minging and november-esque.



i'll have to look to see if we've any copies of The Thing lying around too.

[Bonjoy]

 Really good from what I recall. Shame it was a one off

[cofe]

it really is pretty good. a shit load of work went into it too, particularly the illustrations.

[SA Chris]

I think it's ace and recommend it to anyone who hasn't got a copy.

Always wondered though; do you think the big arete that get's climbed at the end is meant to be Reservoir Dogs @ Widdop?

Paraphrase "It's E7 just getting to the gear"

[cofe]

possibly, it does look a bit like widdop wall etc.

"Sharpnose soloed up, placed it, then climbed back to the floor. It was well scary, he left it clipped after that...I think he said it was E7 just to do that."

[Fiend]

It is definitely Resevoir Dogs. "Mr Pink", how many clues do you need

Bloody great comic, I'm really glad I have it. So spot on, captures the whole weather / training / community / grit mish-mash so well. That page you posted cofe, in particular.

[Fiend]

In fact, bloody great to have a thread about it. It needs to sit in the pantheon of climbing classics.

i was just being coy

if you did a climbing comic now 12 years on, i wonder how it might look? a lot different? not a lot different?

Less dole more students?

Less top-ropes more bouldering mats?

More techno?

That's about it...

[Johnny Brown]

Is techno more popular?

Anyway Cofe, I'm missing Things #1, 3, 5 and 7. Get furtling round the office.

[Houdini]

If only it was OTE #1's you wanted . . .


Techno is far less popular in the UK than a decade ago. 


I blame that trance bullshit



I like the illustrations, a good read.

[cofe]

Is techno more popular?

god, i hope not.

funny you should mention that...

[Fiend]

Is techno more popular amongst 20-30 something keen Sheffield climbers than it was?? Or hip-hop?? I don't know.

Cofe can you knock me up a Chief Inspector Twat Of The Ethics Police poster please. Will pay decent money. Ta!

I thought more Right Said Fred?

November was ace - it was pretty groundbreaking- but I never got over how none of them had noses!

[andy_e]

Minimal Techno is the new Electro which is the new Indie. Techno used to be for geeks, now everyone loves it.

[Houdini]

Fuck techno, shit-all to do w/climbing comics.


Anyone can make a few K from a half-decent DVD these days so why can't they do it w/comics? 

[cofe]

Cofe can you knock me up a Chief Inspector Twat Of The Ethics Police poster please.

here's the twat in all his glory:



i've found a stash of The Things now too, so watch this space...

[Fiend]

Ah, brings a warm glow to my heart...

Barton on Barker ethics?

[Nibile]

it's a shame i can't read the words in that page.
i tried to zoom it but still i can't.

er, just read the bubble on the left, it is Barker's ethics !

I haven't got dates to hand, but doesn't the comic predate the FA of Reservoir Dogs?

Or is it a case of life imitating art imitating life?

I reckon a sequel should be produced; December. All a little older, got jobs, but still boulder a bit.

[cofe]

if anyone wants to try and complete their Thing collection then holler at me. cost on site covers our costs and postage etc. or i could make up some bollocks about inflation.

here's a picture of al:
