The film was based on the style of the book, I think.
The book has certain great tricks (such as the use of blank pages to illustrate when the bomb goes off) that make them both worth checking out.

It's raymond briggs,
he's a master of the comics form. The fact that he uses the traditionally quite jovial and childish form of comics to purvey these really quite big and complex ideas gives them an unnerving fluffiness, and makes it a lot more... 'real'.

That book he made of 'The Snowman' was a bit of alright too :P

aside from briggs,
as a kid I was obsessed with Anthony Browne books that we had back when I was at infants many years ago...

Where does your train come in?

St Pancras

Piece of piss
Kings Cross (pic line) to Earls Court, 30 minutes.
( riverghost B3ta: lacking Captain Wow since, Fri 30 May 2008, 16:53, archived)

And in English?
King's cross? But that's a different stn isn't it.
( Mstandot, Fri 30 May 2008, 16:57, archived)

No
Ther's a tunnel that leads from St Pankyarse to Kings Cross. Just get the Piccadilly line from there (west bound) to Earls COurt. Take the Earls Court Road exit, cross at the crossing, turn right and I'm 205 (the yellow door) just after Subways thirst seconds from the station.

I'm tubing from Victoria @ 1ish.

( Ttssattsr farting words onto the websites, Fri 30 May 2008, 16:52, archived)

I get in at 1.30

( Mstandot, Fri 30 May 2008, 16:55, archived)

I'd get in later, but that unsufferable cunt, Pineapple and I are meeting so I don't get lost and scared on the tube.
Last time I saw him I suggested we got the wrong train a few times.
( Ttssattsr farting words onto the websites, Fri 30 May 2008, 16:57, archived)

I know the line and the direction (south)
and where to get off, but it's the tickets and the finding of the tube stations worrying me.
( Mstandot, Fri 30 May 2008, 17:00, archived)

You'll be fine. Grab someones mobile number if you get stuck at any point. Worse comes to worse, you can grab a taxi.

Get a Travelcard
will let you roam the whole underground for one price and won't matter if you get lost cos you can use it anywhere.

Also pays for buses too.

Raymond Briggs
writes the saddest books in the world. And a wonderfully mental one about a robot Margaret Thatcher.

[my word, I'd forgotten about this completely.
Was one of the most compelling books/comics I read as a kid :?) ]
