Don't push too far?

Your dreams are China in your hand?

It's good advice and advice I've taken seriously ever since December 1987 when the T-Pau song featuring those very lyrics was ruling the roost atop the UK singles chart.

However, that song was not to stay there, because Yuletide was looming and the Pet Shop Boys were about to grab the coveted Christmas Number One slot, with their unlikely cover of Always on My Mind.

There was little drama on the corresponding album chart, however, with Now That's What I Call Music! 10 hogging the pinnacle for the entire month!

And what of cinema?

December saw the unleashing of the following dramatic masterpieces: Throw Momma from the Train, Wall Street, *batteries not included, Moonstruck, Overboard, Empire of the Sun and Good Morning, Vietnam.

Sadly, although I've seen several of those offerings, the only one I can remember anything about is Overboard. Therefore, I shall nominate that as my Steve Does Comics Movie of the Month.

And what of the galaxy's greatest comic?

As so often in the past, present and, no doubt, future, it was supplying us with Bad Company, Judge Dredd, Nemesis the Warlock, Tharg's Future-Shocks and Strontium Dog.

But I do note that Progs 551, 552 and 554 featured a strip called Bradley. A strip of which I know nothing other than it was brought to us by Alan McKenzie and Simon Harrison.
