Meeting Jonathan Ross and crew at the Hot Sauce offices, Paul and I were treated to sensory overload, trying to take in just a portion of the original comic artwork he has stored in a number of drawers (not to mention the small selection hung on sundry wallspace, including the toilet!). JR could start his own gallery single-handed. The artists covered are innumerable, though there is an emphasis on Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, who have drawers mostly to themselves. To say the collection is awesome would be no kind of understatement.
The offices also are crammed in every corner with all kinds of toys, videos and media. It’s quite an experience to browse the place. Here’s JR sitting at his desk…
And here’s me and Paul posing with JR and the slightly wonderful double-page spread from Devil Dinosaur #1:
The photos didn’t come out as well as I’d wanted and I look terrible!! I forgot to make sure the cam was on ‘auto’ for correct focus/exposure. But I guess they’re all right.
What a cool visit! Let’s do it again, JR! 😉
Just when I thought Jonathan Ross couldn’t get any more annoying! (I do likes him, though – when he’s not reviewing films, at any rate.)
That’s what I’d call a Grand Day Out! Great stuff, and a nice lift.
