I’ve loved reading Viz magazine since I was about 16. After first being exposed to the wholesome, 1950s-style optimism of British “Fish & Chips” comics like Dandy and Beano there was something that spoke to me in the subversive and sniggering-behind-the-bike-shed humour of Viz and its motley band of characters like Felix & His Amazing…

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Y’know sometimes when you do something which is just straight-out cool, and you know you’re gonna remember for the rest of your life? Well, that!
