The Viz...

... last seen by me around 1993.

Used to bloody love the regional sattire! What with the 'Fat Slags ' (Manchester I think), 'Big Vern' - (London), and not forgetting 'Sid the Sexist' - Newcastle (My realm, NE England).

Will pick it all back up again... just hope it is still as hilarious as I recall!

    Saw a man of about 55 reading it on the station platform this morning. I felt embarrassed for him.

    It's an adult comic. Why would you feel embarrassed for him?

    It is an adult comic for people who haven't grown up

    I know some people who have that attitude towards all comics. I feel more embarrassed about folk who read the Daily Mail.

    I wasn't aware that once you reach a certain age you have to stop reading it.

    I love VIZ !
    I have been reading it since the 80's (I'm 50 now), and I still have all of them, and I revisit them regularly :)
    By the way, it's called "VIZ" or "VIZ comic". It's never been called "THE viz"

    I would still be buying every issue if it wasn't for the stupid price. I'm sure it would earn them far more money if they lowered it to about £1.50

    I wouldn't call £3.20 a month "stupid"

    I also think £3.20 per issue is overpriced so now I just buy the Annual every year. Much better value for money, especially when bought at a discounted price online.

    I bought the first couple of annuals, but it seemed to me that the funniest strips weren't included.
    Different people find different things funny :)
    I love the slapstick violence of Tinribs hilarious ! Mr Snodworthy has all manner of things done to him and in the next frame he is perfectly intact ! :D

    I remember " thieving gypsy bastards" that was the funniest comic strip ive ever read and it was sooooooo true :D
    Got taken off after a few editions and they had to make an apology of some sort ....it being racist ....well funny imo.

    Ive got a few annuals and my fave part is the letters page:D


    just found a strip.......must admit not as funny as first time round....as is most humour........

    I love viz. Have done for many years. A highlight of this month is the revelation that Richard from 'Keeping up appearances' was Pamela Anderson's first choice for her sex tape :)

    I'll never forget the Readers Tips page.

    Ladies, don't throw away your used tampons. Simply dip them in glitter and hang them from your Christmas Tree, for inexpensive but effective decorations!

    I laughed at that for years :)

    I've just checked their website and there's a Scrooby Poo sketch. :D

    TOP TIP

    Teach your kids how the government works by taking all their sweets from them and telling them to f**k off
