Mmmm, pig snout!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:06am From: BW

morning world! is this it? did the pigs sneak up on us?

Mon. 4/27/09 9:07am From: C

that picture made my day

Mon. 4/27/09 9:08am From: Jøe Steele

I just had me some taylor ham. Let 'em know who's still boss.

Mon. 4/27/09 9:10am From: Kevin Metheny

I am Pig Virus!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:12am From: Parq

PIGSSS - INNN - SPAAAACE!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:17am From: trrrish

Cute photo. Timing is hilarious.

Mon. 4/27/09 9:17am From: Neil

I have a different take on the sign you saw from the Paris movie theater. I dream of a society where people can get arrested for talking during a movie.

Mon. 4/27/09 9:19am From: Parq

Neil, I was gonna say, I can't think of a single subway trip I've ever taken where there *wasn't* someone talking too loudly or gesticulating wildly. They're the crowd that inspired Bill Cosby's "A Nut In Every Car" bit.

Mon. 4/27/09 9:28am From: bw

there were no masks on the subway today but I don't feel so good though....

Mon. 4/27/09 9:31am From: still b/p

Mummified Vacuumites not GNFAB.
GNFA breakfast cereal!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:32am From: bw

hey I just got a confirmation that Armando Iannucci is gonna be on the show today at 11ish! to talk about his new movie "in the loop"

Mon. 4/27/09 9:34am From: Doctor B.

Tasty space for breakfast? Robert Fripp, The Boredoms, and a hokey 1930's sci-fi comic? I love it! Great show!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:37am From: Parq

On the other hand, b/p, "Giant Clamps Begin to Rise" definitely = GNFAB

Mon. 4/27/09 9:38am From: bw

and at 10 am we are gonna call out to Daniel H in Mexico City -
here is his take on whats going on

Mon. 4/27/09 9:38am From: Jøe Steele

"Space" looks familiar

Mon. 4/27/09 9:43am From: concerned

you are exaggerating the effect of the swine flu. none of the kids in nyc who have it are seriously ill

Mon. 4/27/09 9:45am From: bw

dear concerned
Im talking about the 100+ dead people in Mexico City!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:46am From: ~L

It's a hybrid flu, so you get a little bird flu mixed with your swine and human flu bug, so no need to be disappointed. But I don't think you have it... drink some green tea and then drink water with lemon. You'll be fine. Hope you will feel better soon.

Mon. 4/27/09 9:47am From: dei xhrist

just tuning in for some Monday illustrated scifi. The toddler swapping DNA with the swine is used by a local (Manchester NH) BBQ joint in their print ads, with the byline "you never forget your first love." They also define vegetarians as a healthy meat alternative; they're lean, free range, and fed with organic vegetables and grain.

Mon. 4/27/09 9:48am From: Bad Ronald

Hey, those Vacuumites look like Gordon Ramsay!

Mon. 4/27/09 9:56am From: dc p

I love the Fletcher Hanks stuff.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:03am From: tim

Hey BW: I don't think you got an appropriate reply on the Iannucci appearance. Fantastic! He's brilliant, much admired. The "Shows" [sic] is a top-shelf item of this decade.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:03am From: Jøe Steele

"Space"? more like "Wuss"

Mon. 4/27/09 10:07am From: Pearly Sweets

Holy Smoke! Look at our manometer!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:08am From: ~L

Is Mexico City like an incubator due to the cloud of pollution the city exists under? Do they still have oxygen booths on the street?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:09am From: postmanpaul

bw - you'll soon be fine and funky again, it's just a touch of wfm flu.
salutations *wiggles asymmetric ears* all aboard the vacuum meteor.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:09am From: Cecile

hola, you guys.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:10am From: jaypee

Good morning, everyone. BW, I'm loving your set!

Re: schweinflu. This report about MX City is creepy.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:11am From: Cecile

who is on the phone?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:12am From: jaypee

Cecile, this guy: http://danielhernandez.typepad.com/daniel_hernandez/2009/04/in-mexico-city-the-infection-is-fear.html

Mon. 4/27/09 10:13am From: Cecile

why would peple be that stupid?
The flu goes away, people return to Mexico.
Like SARS in Canada.
Peple are stupid. Stupid.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:16am From: Pearly Sweets

SARS!? IN CANADA!? Sweet Heebus Jeebus! Is no where safe?!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:17am From: Terry

Hey! I know that baby (the pig kissing one). She's alive and well! The photo is at least 2 years old too. Should tell her folks about the stupid Manchester NH BBQ place...

Mon. 4/27/09 10:17am From: bw

good to hear about the baby!!!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:18am From: Pearly Sweets

Next thing I'll know the bird flu or allergies might come back! I was sneezing this morning after smelling the spring flowers…

Mon. 4/27/09 10:18am From: Cecile

I know this is an overwrought, crazy song, but if you could slide in the Mars Volta's The Widow, that would be great.

SARS was berry, berry good to us when we went there in 2003. We got a sweet discount on our hotel rooms from the Province of Ontario.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:19am From: jaypee

Terry, that baby is the key to our survival! She obviously has antibodies that defend against SCHWEINFLU. We must HARVEST them for a VACCINE!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:19am From: Pearly Sweets

If we could just put all of the infected under the vaccum ortho glows, we'll be able to clean the virus right off of their bodies.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:20am From: Pearly Sweets

YES, JAYPEE! We must find the chosen child!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:21am From: Cecile

I think I saw this in a movie. Wasn't Clive Owen in it? He's hot.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:22am From: AnAnonymousParty

Is it me or are the vacuumites sporting dreadlocks?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:23am From: jaypee

Cecile, yeah, but this movie will be much cuter without the drab clothing and yucky death. Just babies kissing pigs!

Oh.. and antibody harvesting, of course.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:23am From: Cecile

I like it. Let's take a meeting and make it happen.
I'll talk to Clive's people.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:24am From: Starman

That why I alway stay away from the Vacuum Meteors, the Vacuumite people are a nasty spieces

Mon. 4/27/09 10:24am From: Vicki

just saw on twitter that you've got a plane circling over fmu with a fighter jet accompanying it? Has it gone yet?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:24am From: Patrick

hey bw great show! i never get to listen but im on a mini vacation!! i just got the Juan Maclean this weekend, what a fantastic album!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:26am From: Cecile

is this cosmic cars cybotron or the Australian group?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:27am From: trrrrish

Reporters are idiots with numbers.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:29am From: The Isley Beatles

Shake it up, baby, now,
Kiss that snout,
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon baby, now,
You can wig your folks out..

Mon. 4/27/09 10:30am From: Cecile

Yes. just the little music journalism I have done...that is the case. Why go to the library or Google or even talk to the subject if you can print half-substantiated factoids.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:30am From: Jøe Steele

I'm looking out my window, I haven't seen any planes circling.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:30am From: Pearly Sweets

I finished that dj mix this weekend. I am pretty proud of it. I also made sure to fit in some cornweenie in it.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:31am From: bw

I hear ya cecile - I hope my rumor that swine flu was started by the minutemen on the usa border - trying to close the borders by screwing pigs to create supervirus - makes it to the mainstream

Mon. 4/27/09 10:31am From: Cecile

AWESOME, PS.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:32am From: Cecile

I have officially reached my limit on this Rama song. That is fine. I will hit the mute button on my computer, and continue to visit.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:32am From: dc p

oh no! prepare to get freaked out...

Mon. 4/27/09 10:33am From: still b/p

Whoa! Too late -- Dianna looks like she's been vacuum-ortho-lamped about 75 percent of the way there.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:33am From: Pearly Sweets

Indeed. I have a high-res copy of it at neondoom.com at the bottom. And one copy left of the cd-rs with art, which there is an e-mail address on the site that you can send a message too and I'll mail it out. It does have some NSFW audio moments, however. I couldn't keep my bad habits down :(

Mon. 4/27/09 10:34am From: dc p

this rama tune is FREAKIN ME OUT!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:35am From: bw

Armando Iannucci is gonna join us at 11

I am so so so excited

Mon. 4/27/09 10:35am From: belly hop

this rama is great

Mon. 4/27/09 10:36am From: belly hop

is it all this good?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:36am From: Pearly Sweets

I even tacked on a little bit of the Prince Charles' "City Life" for you at the end, Cecile.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:37am From: dc p

hey where's annie? Cecile, I got tomatoes/carrots/onions/peppers in the "ground" over the weekend...

Mon. 4/27/09 10:37am From: AnAnonymousParty

Despite all the vacuumite's hi-tech wizardry, the guards still would not part with their trusty old 30-06 rifles.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:38am From: Cecile

you rule, Pearls.

dc p, she might be on puppy duty right now.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:38am From: dc p

I...feel...like...I'm .......turning......hippie.....

Mon. 4/27/09 10:39am From: dei x

wait, what were the Minutemen screwing pigs to? What kind of bolt configuration do you use for that? Some sort of pork hitch?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:39am From: dc p

does Ari Up have anything to do w/ prince rama?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:39am From: Cecile

hey, gardening is DIY. Very punk rock.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:40am From: dc p

can we please prefix 'Insane' to 'Minutemen' when we aren't talking about the San Pedro minutemen?

Mon. 4/27/09 10:41am From: Cecile

budos band are great.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:41am From: dc p

right on C!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:41am From: Jøe Steele

Strong enough to pull the door off the space ship, but they still have glass jaws.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:42am From: oh man

you are hystrical, bw. take a trank, please

Mon. 4/27/09 10:44am From: still b/p

I like the medieval cells. Blew the budget on the Giant Clamps, apparently. Or it's an aesthetic choice, like skull walls.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:45am From: Bad Ronald

We were told it, (the plane) was taking photo ops of the Statue of Liberty. It definitely freaked out a few folks downtown NYC.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:45am From: Cecile

"Is the Thick of It" like "State of Play"? Cause that original series was fantastic. I don't know about the movie. Very skeptical.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:46am From: bw

everything Ive read about the movie makes me think it will be great!

but Im with you Cecile.. been burned too many times

Mon. 4/27/09 10:47am From: Cecile

Where can you see these series you talked about? On the torrents? Which I am still not familiar with...

Mon. 4/27/09 10:48am From: detroitdave

Swine licking kids........VACUUMITES (that look like crackheads)?? I have stumbled onto something crazy here. Hey Ben!

Mon. 4/27/09 10:49am From: Vicki

now twitter is saying "office buildings in Jersey City evacuated due to possible plane hijacking - jets were trying to force the plane to land" - but that's ok, you just all ignore me...

Mon. 4/27/09 10:57am From: belly hop

which is funny because of the three clean memebers he has the goofiest voice

Mon. 4/27/09 10:57am From: detroitdave

WTF...........the vacuumites only had 1 gun???

Mon. 4/27/09 10:57am From: Cecile

thanks, ben.

Always been good. Their new one is wonderful

Yeah, belly, but he writes some great songs.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:58am From: "AnAnonymousParty"

"Space" had better hope the Martian gun doesn't have much of a kick, the way he's holding it.

Mon. 4/27/09 10:59am From: Cecile

Gotta jet.
Fun meetin'
at least bossman is going to get us hopped up on good espresso.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:00am From: belly hop

anyone who has a name that has to appear in quotes to be understood shouldnt be allowed in the "space" program anyhow

Mon. 4/27/09 11:00am From: Jøe Steele

First "Space" is all like, "We better do what they say." Now suddenly they're no match for the strong earth man,

Mon. 4/27/09 11:01am From: Bad Ronald

"Space" is all over the place.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:03am From: "AnAnonymousParty"

Meanwhile, Tom Baker is thinking, "that 'Space' chap has no style".

Mon. 4/27/09 11:03am From: "Space"

Those vacuumites really suck.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:03am From: belly hop

dianna looks as strong as space but space is getting all the good action

Mon. 4/27/09 11:03am From: trrish

Bye Cecile

Mon. 4/27/09 11:04am From: belly hop

look at those shoulder muscles on dianna

Mon. 4/27/09 11:06am From: Jøe Steele

Dianna's a dude, her name should be the one in quotes.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:07am From: belly hop

i was thinking that too...im gad someone finally said that about dianna

Mon. 4/27/09 11:09am From: detroitdave

she got manly limbs and knows how to hold a gun!

Mon. 4/27/09 11:10am From: belly hop

"ill melt the clamps..." whats really going on here?!?!?1

Mon. 4/27/09 11:11am From: belly hop

transgender "space" politics

Mon. 4/27/09 11:15am From: bw

still waitin for Armando to call!!

hold tight

Mon. 4/27/09 11:17am From: "AnAnonymousParty"

And here I though "Dianna" just had a lot of freckles. If you are going to wear a dress, you really should shave your legs. And arms. And neck. And back.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:17am From: belly hop

ladies and gentlemen we are floating in "space"

Mon. 4/27/09 11:18am From: Jøe Steele

Boy, them Martians sure can build a gun.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:21am From: belly hop

is this chills from the secret box set?

Memo: From Vacuumite Command.
Effective immediately, Martian ray guys are NOT to be left lying about in prisoner detention areas. All weapons shall be kept, locked, in a secure location.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:26am From: Chris

What is this Susan Boyle thing yr talking about?

Mon. 4/27/09 11:30am From: GP

Morning all...freshly escaped from my Mummified Vacuumite prison cell...whew...that was tough!

Mon. 4/27/09 11:30am From: Parq

Chris, google-news the name and you shall see much more than will likely interest you.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:33am From: Chris

No, I know who she is, but it sounded like this guy had done something with her appearance on the talent show or whatever.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:40am From: tim

Check out Brasseye, it really got Iannucci and Chris Morris in hot water.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:41am From: bw

i always think that brasseye and day today are the same program actually

all so good

Mon. 4/27/09 11:41am From: Chris

Thanks. A quick google suggests maybe I should follow up away from work.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:47am From: tim

You are a connoisseur. I agree, but only sort of.... I just re-watched the Brasseye paedophilia special. Unbelievable. But remember they were getting actual celebs and even MPs on camera (or on mike in the case of "On The Hour") and having them flap on about absolutely bogus stuff, e.g. the baby elephant with its head stuck in its anus, "Czech Neck" a result of a new club drug "Cake." No analogy in this country.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:47am From: GP

The scientific research that went into the writing of this comic ( nay, shall we say scientific treatise) is simply impeccable.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:49am From: Parq

"The ship rises like a rocket" - hilarious. They soared through space like space travelers!

Mon. 4/27/09 11:50am From: bw

tim

you are so right! thats what I was tryin to ask him about.. their show had real consequences.. i.e. makin fools of the people in charge..

Mon. 4/27/09 11:51am From: still b/p

If you suspect the swine flu virus is trying to infect you, throw over the checker and try a side spiral.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:54am From: doug from dc

The mummified vacuumites had the final triumph, however, when they converted all of outer space into a giant airless vacuum.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:55am From: detroitdave

That was a narrow escape..........it's ALWAYS a narrow escape in sci fi comix,.....you cant end like that.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:56am From: GP

What are you some kind of freakin wizard?

Mon. 4/27/09 11:56am From: detroitdave

Thats bullshit..."space" is supposed to score with the chick.

Exactly Detroit Dave, I feel TOTALLY ripped off.

Mon. 4/27/09 11:58am From: dc pat

detroitdave: see the above comments, she's not a 'chick'...

Mon. 4/27/09 11:59am From: GP

Why is "Space" in quotes throughout the strip but Dianna does not rate?

Mon. 4/27/09 11:59am From: detroitdave

Hmmm......Hey if thats true dc, What the hell kinda comic is this??

Mon. 4/27/09 12:00pm From: Bad Ronald

A poorly drawn one!

Mon. 4/27/09 12:00pm From: dc p

because that's his nickname...short for Spaceford.
