I only had a look at Viz for the first time a few months ago, now I'm a fully subscribed subscriber to their iPad offering. I don't get some of it, but a lot of it is very funny or just daft - great bedtime reading.

A great example was a recent Roger Mellie strip - he was presenting Newsnight, and through the strip, he was practicing to make sure he introduced his guest Jeremy Hunt Culture Secretary correctly, what with his foul mouth. Then at the end, he successfully introduced him, then went on to say "some people think you've been a right c**t..."

My last favorite roger, was a flashback to the 70's. Rodger was shooting a pilot for jim'll fix it (rog'll sort it.)

All his fixes involved him getting to see women naked. And the BBC decided to replace him with a more 'safe pair of hands'. Then flashed forward to rogder reading a paper with the savile sex scandal on the front and roger telling Tom, 'they backed the wrong horse there'.....

The strips I never find funny are Roger Mellie, The Pathetic Sharks, Sid The Sexist, 8 Ace and Billy The Fish. My favourites used to be Spoilt Bastard, Modern Parents and especially Millie Tant, because I used to know a girl very much like that

A special mention for Thieving Gypsy Bastards

I tend to prefer the letters, the adverts and the "special offers".

My favourite 'special offer' is this one - it still cracks me up even now..

It is an adult comic for people who haven't grown up
That'll be me then.

I'm a 53 year old female and I've been a subscriber for the last 15 years or so.

I still laugh out loud every month at my favourite characters' exploits.

In fact, there's quite a clever satirical element to Viz, in addition to the puerile humour. That's what makes it so funny.

I just love it and I always have.

I still buy it and have every single annual.

There is some very clever satire amongst all the toilet humour.

As a one off strip 'The Rotating Chin Men' always makes me laugh, flying about with the sinister aim of squirting spunk out of their chins all over the Queen!

And what about the Doctor Martin Story?

"He kicked, and he kicked and he kicked, he kicked the chimps f*****g head in for over 45 minutes until it finally keeled over and died. The boots were are a complete success!"

Not the exact quote but near enough I think.

I went through a phase of buying every single issue from around 1989 to around 1994/5. But then I threw them away

Anyone remember the channel 4 doc in the 90s about viz and how Keith chegwin claimed to have been destroyed by the comic I got taken in by that.

Btw are the macc lads still around and that indian restaurant in Newcastle - is it still advertising in the mag? I know the owner died a few years ago

I love the fact that over the years it has got more and more incredibly sadistic to poor Mr Snodworthy!
