Grant Morrison's BIG DAVE: Monarchy in the UK(1993) and How It Must Have Assured Him the MBE

[jlroberson]

Content Warning: Not really NSFW, but - THIS IS A "BIG DAVE" STRIP.

You begged, you screamed, and yet after all this time here he comes again: BIG DAVE, the obscure 2000AD creation of Mark Millar, Grant Morrison, and Steve Parkhouse, and the second least likely Grant Morrison work to be reprinted after NEW ADVENTURES OF HITLER.

Grant Morrison, you may have heard, received an MBE today. I'm really confused as to how I should react, but congrats to him, and I suppose that's good for comics, and I AM a Morrison fan of long standing but...still odd.

What I do know is that surely the patriotism he showed in this BIG DAVE story all those years ago(as well as this, shown at Bleeding Cool, plus much of THE INVISIBLES and Diana as depicted therein, which is to say she's raped by an interdimensional royal monster) must have played a crucial part.
Here are the highlights of everyone's favorite typical NEWS OF THE WORLD reader's defense of the nation.



Note: I have spared you a full splash page of Dave on the toilet, drawn in a most graphic and unsanitary way. I won't ask your thanks, it was only the need to edit.

Yeah, and though our Press is very politicised, at least our principle TV channels remains neutral. (When EVERY Government complains the BBC is too partisan towards the Opposition, then you KNOW they're doing something right)

Neutral my arse

But better than what we might have otherwise.

Which way would you say they lean?

It's a tricky question because obviously they aren't oppressive trolls and there's arguable leftism spotted about but I do not trust the neutrality of their news coverage. Lotta bitterness over lopsided reportage on the alternative vote, tbh.
