In view of the success (relative but I'm easily pleased) of the impromptu Russian Missile caption competition here's another. No smut, please. (yes, Andy, that is aimed at you!)
Towdlad, this site is certainly a trendsetter for avatars. Andy is now changing his on a regular basis; blink and you'll miss one. There's also a strong comic and 1950s contingent. Ian has veered from the selfie to a catalogue of philosophical greats: where will it end?
Ridgeway, we seem to be inspired from 195o's and early 60's telly and comic strip heros, that we just dont have
anymore, (theres a Stranglers song in there somewhere), even Mr Monium's latest features a character called Hiram Holiday from a 50's american comedy TV show. I was an avid Victor reader as a lad, but sometimes bought the Lion and Champion, hence my latest featuring Alf Tupper. Plenty of heros there, Captain Hurricane, Kelly's Eye, Tough of the track, Archie the Robot and loads more all dedicated to the fight for good over evil, right against wrong, and integrity against scullduggery, happy days

I was a Victor, Beezer and Lion man myself. Never really got into the Eagle despite Dan Dare. What was the one that was mainly writing; Hornet or Hotspur or something? I'm shocked btw that AM's avatar is a character in a TV show. My wife and her sister have been badgering me to introduce them to Andy ever since they saw him astride his chopper. They'll be heartbroken to know it's not actually him.
