Hey, I'm into Sin City as much as the next guy, I'm just taking the piss,
that's all! :)

Yep, that's the whole point of the Girls.  My 9-year-old goddaughter is SO
into the Girls.  (At least she was a couple of months ago! :)

And anyway it's practically unpatriotic not to like them! :)  I was really
surprised they broke in America!

I'll check it out!  All I'm reading these days is the Moorcock thing and
Transmetropolitan.

I think I'll go and listen to some Stooges.
