"the panel managed to get him essentially admitting that MQ did'nt really need so many editors but nothing could stop them."
I think what I actually said was that I didn't think we needed the editor that we have, and that he should be replaced with me, as should the other editors, and that the whole book should be written and drawn and lettered by me, with a picture of me on the cover pointing furiously at myself.
"We wanted to turn what was a fun romp invented by visitors into an apocolyptic high school based story with a Grange Hill style "Just Say No!" campaign with doctor Who references and the ending being two characters fucked off their tits on speed, l.s.d and ketamin."

"MICHAEL SHEARD LIVES!"
"We haven't yet been invited back."
Actually, I have - I'll be on a panel at Brighton.
