Alfred: "Spotted Dick, sir?"
Bruce: "Yes, he's helping Aunt Harriet move some boxes."

So subtle that even I don't see what I did there. Or a really forced 'spotted dick' joke. But that probably belongs in the pudding thread. Spotted Dick Pudding? That's new to me. Please go right to that pudding thread and give us the scoop (another subtle pun)

What if they decide otherwise? What if they decide they don't want to be 'the child bearers of the world'? Then they'll be forced to bear those children. Girls ain't allowed to have fun. yeah - wasn't this the entire plotline of that 28 Days movie?

Please go right to that pudding thread and give us the scoop (another subtle pun) Spotted Dick is a suet pudding with dried fruit, usually served with custard. It's a traditional British pudding. I was slightly surprised you'd never heard of it, though I suppose I probably shouldn't be.

But if I ordered spotted dick at an American restaurant I'd get some very queer looks. Not in San Francisco however.

I first heard of "spotted dick" on a cooking show back in the 70s called the "Galloping Gourmet". No, we really weren't that into cooking as children. The host was somewhat reminiscent of John Cleese and had a habit of drinking wine throughout the show and getting pretty tipsy by the end. We found that hilarious. Then he started talking about "his spotted dick" (recipe) and it got funnier still. Hey, we were just kids...

Yes, that was him. Great (weird) memories. He kicked the ahbit and became a born-again Christian and created a new version of his show on which he cooked healthier meals and spoke of his regrets for drinking so much on air and for making so many inappropriate doubles entendres.Though I doubt he ever prepared spotted dick.

There, I said it."Draws" in the present tense? I'll buy that. Ever? Not as long as the work of original Atom artist Ben Flinton endures. Cei-U! I summon the monstrosity that was Mary James!

As much as I love All-Star Superman I still call it Cabbage-Patch Superman.

If you could turn Adam Hughes inside out, you would get Frank Quietly.

Frank Q. owes that 'ugly' look to his Scottish upbringing. Dudley Wakins and DC Thomson were an obvious influence on him. He even did a spoof in the Electric Soup comic, the Greens.
