Blog: Farewell To The Funny Comics Fan Club

< previous

On Sunday we UNLEASHED the grand finale of The Funny Comics Fan Club, in which John and I discussed wot we had LEARNED over the past 30+ episodes, and also chose what our FAVOURITE bits were. As you'll hear there was quite a bit of CONCURRENCE, not least in our choices of best characters, but also quite a bit of the disagreement that we have delighted in over the course of the three series.

I must admit it felt a bit ODD on Sunday to be going through my fortnightly routine of uploading the episode and then doggedly uploading all of the images to our Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Bluesky accounts. It's always a bit of a JOB to do all that, especially when you add in the time it takes scan the images and EDIT the show (we take out about 10 minutes of us saying "ER" every episode!), but I had got quite ADEPT at it over recent months so, in a weird way, I'm going to miss it.

I'm also going to very much miss sitting in a small room and ARGUING with John every couple of weeks, as it has been a HUGE amount of fun to do so. Similarly it's been lovely to bump into people at various times and places who LISTEN to the show, especially when it's people I don't actually KNOW. If you've been one of those people, or indeed if you have listened to the show and NOT bumped into me, I hope it's been as much fun for you as it very much has for us - and if you HAVEN'T listened to the show yet, there are a whole THIRTY THREE episodes waiting for you to get started on!
