Cream, get on top
Happy birthday, happy birthday
It is with a blush of personal humility that I wish TV Cream a happy fifth birthday, for the esteemed TV knowledge and fun site, plus essential newsletter, have chosen to mark the occasion with a truly astonishing not-for-profit Look-In style comic edition. You can download "the whole ruddy thing", as they put it - 36 pages! - in high-res here or, on a smaller scale, download the whole ruddy thing - still 36 pages - in nasty, blocky low-res here. Or subscribe here and have it delivered to your inbox. The reason I'm blushing is because they've rather flatteringly made a comic strip of my life. Here's a bit of it.
Thank you, especially Graham and Jack. And here's another bit of it.
I actually don't know what to say. Subscribe immediately. These people are unique.

I like the way they've based some frames on real photos - like the webcam shot with Richard Herring. I remember when Look-In did the story of The Beatles they extracted Stu Sutcliffe from a famous early group shot and turned it into him walking home with a thought-bubble along the lines of: "Now I've bought this bass guitar with the prize money I won for my painting, I can join the group!"
What did happen to Nick Wilton?
Andrew. What next? A "10-step programme to better health" by Andrew Collins? ;-)

Picture number one is enough to convince anyone that perhaps alcohol and excess and not the best bedfellows!
Not 36 pages of you then, but properly respectful all the same. I particularly like the illustrations of a Beatle-esque Maconie and Coal-Tit.
I have just read the entire 'magazine' and I am in love with their clever geekiness. I especially enjoyed the Never The Twain comicstrip.
