Achtung, Spitfeur! Aieee!). I'm sure writers like Alan Grant and Pat Mills started with comics like Commando and went to write more subversive material in titles like 2000AD.

She asked "Why did your parents buy you them then?" Found myself stumbling to come up with a decent answer and desperately trying not to go full David Brent with "Well, that was in the seventies when racism wasn't bad so..." It was even less bad in the sixties. Bloody PC gone mad, imho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was delicately sensitive to any perceived media "bias against the Scots" but saw nothing wrong with his own regular xenophobic diatribes against the English. My sister who'd lived in England since she was six, married an Englishman and raised their kids as English, eventually had to tell him to stop doing this in front of his grandchildren. He genuinely couldn't understand why this was a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He genuinely couldn't understand why this was a problem. Come Dancing and Show Jumping were two programmes my mother enjoyed. I don't recall her getting het up about the Show Jumping, but that was usually an individual competition - Harvey Smith was her favourite,iirc - and I think team events were the UK, rather than Scottish and English teams, so that was fine, unlike Come Dancing where Scotland entered a team England must have had half a dozen teams, to be fair to my mum. But she was quite p***kly about actual/perceived anti Scottish bias. ETA: Swear filter in operation!

I was musing about this the other day- the African-American maid in the Tom and Jerry cartoons is a stereotype except because I had a black pal as a lad I just used to think that the maid wasn't actually a maid but the owner of the house and that she probably looked like Big Doz's mum! Same goes for the siamese cats in LATT. Same also goes for the Mammy stereotype in Tom & Jerry. What's really worrying me, though, is that it had never occurred to me until your post that she wasn't the lady of the house, and was the indentured housekeeper for an unseen white family 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 What was the name of the football series of wee comics made by the same folk who published Commando? I was never interested in the war stuff, but I consumed the shit out of the other ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
