Really?  I thought it was Gove.
Not according to the Thrill-cast, though Mr. McNasty Rimmer does say that some aspects of the character were based on a Boris.

Nah, Farage. Gove would leave a trail of slime behind him. Z

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Didn't Maniac 5 also predict Tony Blair becoming PM?  Mind you, I seem to remember him committing suicide in the first series, then Mark Millar forgetting about that in later series and having him come back.

Just seen a bus that straddles the road that is under going testing in China. Pretty sure there was something like that in ABC warriors in the shadow warriors.

Seem to recall Ezquerra drew juggernauts running across the Martian freeways along tracks on each side of the road in the Golgotha/Tyrannosaur segment of The ABC Warriors.

Seems that Biol is now trading in China.

Yep, Ezquerra beat them to it by about thirty years IIRC.

Reading The Art Of Taxidermy in the Mega-Collection made me wonder if Gunther von Hagens had ever read 2000AD!

I remember reading an instalment of Meltdown Man not so long ago which included a frame featuring T-Bone looking into into a square, hand-held mirror, and it looks for all the world like he's staring at his iPad.

THE ART OF KENNY WHO?

A team of technologists have produced a 3D-printed painting in the style of Dutch master Rembrandt.

The portrait was created after existing works by the artist were analysed by a computer. A new, original work was then designed to look as much like a Rembrandt as possible. It was 3D-printed to give it the same texture as an oil painting.

Read more here, or listen at 12 minutes here.
Last weekend I found myself at an open night at the local electronic and new media gallery and art school place.

Apologies for the crappy picture but round the back I stumbled upon a friendly robot drawing sketches of volunteers.

We never really die.
