It's been a bad week I know for at least 2 cat-lovers, so I thought I'd pass on this amazing vid.

Watching Comics Britannia onBritish comics which has now hit where I remember coming in - Bunty and  the Four Maries. OMG I feel OLD! I love Alan Grant;s admission that he too longed to go to boarding school and hang out in the 4 Mary's cosy study room :-)

EDIT: Did i ever`realise that Tammy introduced an "almost Gothic" slant into girl's comics?? No I don't think so! I did realise it was all getting rather S `and M at times - is that the same thing?!
Maybe I was nearer becoming a Goth than i ever `dreamt!

That has to be one of the *most amazing things I have ever seen*

Oh, how *glorious* - thank you so much for the link!

He really did recognise them, didn't he. How astonishing. And how clearly he showed them he remembered them. And then the female from the pride, who I assume was a wild lion rather than a hand reared one, just pressing against the man without a care in the world. Astonishing, thank you for posting it.

Hah! I didn't see the link to the video at first, so I assumed you were talking about Alan Moore recognising the Four Marys :-) And wondering which of the Marys was the alpha female...

I'm an idiot.

Gah! And if you take out the word "lion" completely, you've just written Alan Moore/Four Marys slash :-)

Moore Grant.

Excuse me, it's been a long day.

Girls' comics did paddle gently in the waters that dubious Italian horror movies wallowed in - sinister boarding schools, ballerinas, etc. etc. OK, there were probably fewer stories about nuns, and no Goblin soundtracks... ;)

Of course now I just want lions.

We all were, my dear, we all were...

Seen this posted a few times - but it is just so brilliant.

I recall only one single Four Marys story, in which they were menaced by a cursed statue of Osiris and flocks of birds.
