Loved all the phone in characters and his posse for his afternoon show.

Steve was the pioneer of that "zoo" format.

Now that every fucker does it everywhere, you might forget how unique and clever that actually once was.

"Romero", Spanish comics artist. Possibly best known here for his work in "2000AD"; not one of the better known "art droids" but someone whose work you always recognised.

Akira Toriyama, manga, anime and videogame character design legend. Probably best known as the creator of "Dragonball" and his work on the "Dragonquest" series.

WOW ! .. No more Dr Slump & Arale ...

[edit] - NEVER been "a big fan" of Dragonball Z .. BUT have to admit the FIRST ( and only the first ) series was "something else" with really good humour, that probably suffered from "SO succesfull we want to make more of it" degenerating a bit into "something a bit too serious" maybe.

BUT I think the REAL STROKE OF GENIUS was Dr Slump & Arale, that came out MANY years before .. I think we could say "the Monty Python of manga" Dr Slump & Arale was "a tremendous pisstake of all the classic manga stereotypes in a really surreal key" together with "Excel Saga" ( not his work ) I think they are two of the best "surreal" mangas yet extremely humourous

You may not have always enjoyed his movies, but almost everyone who made the ones you did worked for him at some point or another:

Jean-Marc. Bricklayer. 60 last week, died today in the mud on a building site after a massive heart attack. I spent quarter of an hour doing heart massage and mouth-to-mouth on him before the emergency services arrived. He won't make the major papers, but he was a lovely bloke.

Fuck.
