NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS...

I've just watched a programme called SCOTLAND'S AMAZING COMIC BOOK HEROES on BBC 2. How nauseating to watch a particular ex-comic editor gush sycophantically about one of two currently high-profile writers he once described as "a couple of pretentious w*nkers!" when they used to contribute to the weekly publication he edited. Funny how those who never had a good word to say about someone suddenly start singing their praises once they're famous and successful - especially if it gets them 5 minutes screen time on the telly.

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