NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS...

I've just watched a programme called SCOTLAND'S AMAZING COMIC BOOK HEROES on TV.  How nauseating to see a particular ex-editor gush sycophantically about one of two currently high-profile writers he once described to me as "a couple of pretentious w*nkers!" when they contributed to the comic on which he used to work.  Funny how those who never had a good word to say about someone suddenly change their tune when the person becomes famous and successful - especially if there's 5 minutes screen time on the telly to be had.

And why was PAT MILLS, the creator of 2000 A.D., 'airbrushed' from the comic's history and not given a mention?  (Apart from the fact that he's not Scottish that is?)
