>>155850946I had no idea this existed, thanks OP.>>155850312>1987Satirical as it obviously is, it feels like it was coming from a place of being in a bit of a slump. Alexei got his own TV show the next year which ran for 3 seasons so it all worked out in the end.
>>155850299>Oscar ZarateName was familiar and turns out he illustrated a few documentary part-comic part-prose books in the 80s like Freud for Beginners
>>155850299So, does anyone here actually reading this?
>>155864159Sure!
>>155864159I am
>>155850299>Alexei Sayle Try saying that 5 times fast
>>155864159See >>155860654
>>155864159I tried. I like the crazy art, but I was starting to glaze over.
>>155867457too hard...
>>155868893Like this dick
>>155861701Huh.
Pretty cool.
>>155864159i attempted to read it then i remembered he was a full on communist.
>>155850299Cant tell if slavic or fantagraphics hipster shit
>>155874684the latter most likely, he was very famous in the 80s in the uk as a "comedian" i feel like very few people here know who he actually is.
>>155874549yeah ikr
>>155850595busted myth
>>155850299Interesting cover art
>>155862764

>>155879022Let's see (You) do better, then.
Thank you OP, this was great.
C'mon guys, read some more. You're not getting any smarter here!
>>155877402I meant getting electrocuted by leaking on the live
>>155880688>>155882226>>155884485stop crying. he made one funny song and everything else was just retarded commie tripe
>>155887476Who said anyone was 'crying'?
>>155884716Wasn't it?
I’m amazed this thread is still up.
>>155862764He also did one page illustrations with often incomprehensible social commentary at the back of each issue of Fleetway's Crisis magazine.
>>155889447It certainly comes as a surprise
>>155889447>>155890140OP here - I'm as surprised as you
>>155887406oh well the tube is a four rail system anywayusually when there's a report that someone died peeing on the third rail what's meant is that they touched the rail and got shockedif tube trains had toilets - which they never have - then it would be feasible to be electrocuted through them for the same reason that the tube uses a four-rail system (three-rail is too easy to ground accidentally through iron water pipes and other features near the track)but in this hypothetical we're into the age of the rolling stock immediately, with the genuine and serious question of how old this carriage is because if it were a new 1980s carriage it would have a stainless steel toilet, and if it were any older than that it would be porcelain, which would act as an insulator unless there were standing water in the bowl and the u-bend were partly or wholly cast ironbut since this is apparently the old British Rail-style direct discharge toilet it is technically feasible onto a live rail if you're peeing at the same time that the flush is running; there would be quite a lot of water as low-flow toilets were relatively new concepts at the time this was published
>>155890395PLEASANTLY surprised I hope!
>>155887406didn't some guy in chicago get killed by doing that?
>>155891329the Evanston guy? no probably notit's not impossible that it could happen, it's just that it's much more likely you're close enough to the rail that you touch it with part of your body and get electrocuted that way; Evanston Darwin Award climbed down onto the track to pee, and it was nearly midnight and he'd been out drinking
>>155890568Thanks random Anorak.
>>155850299The artstyle is too...sophisticated for me. But kudos to the OP for doing a storytime anyway.
>>155850864Squint hard enough and it's a Red Bull commercial
