Customer Reviews

Dated, but still relevent and still funny4
Having never read Viz before, I was coming at this with an entirely objective viewpoint, and it's a very funny cartoon, although I'm not sure how true it stays to the comic. The animation is crude (the way I like it) and so are a lot of the jokes, but it does so in a style thats a very clever paradoy that worked then, and still works even today.

Roger Mellie is a TV presenter who's rude, sexist and always swears, and Billy the Fish is a very daft story about a fish that plays for a football team. I've since been recently told by a friend however that this is a parody of comics for boys from the 1950's. So there, if I found it funny without even properly getting the joke, that's surely a good thing?!
