This is a normal post Oh dear.
This is not as advertised at all. This is not a review. This is just a man looking at random issues of Cor!! from the early 1970s. When I say looking at, I mean very quickly looking at, seemingly with no interest in the subject matter, he doesn't seem to read anything or draw the viewers attention to any points of interest, he just says the title of each strip with no further comment most of the time.

He obviously hasn't thought about it or read the comics before recording the video either (he may have read them in 197*, I'll let him have that). If he had thought about it for just a few minutes and did just 30 seconds rehearsal, he would realise that whatever software he is using to show the comics is totally unsuitable for creating videos. To see him scroll down each page, accidentally scroll too far and then scroll back up again after EVERY PAGE got annoying after about the 27th time. It was like watching an elderly relative use a tablet computer. What would be wrong with showing two pages at once? After all, this is how the comic would have been designed to be read. The video is already in HD, so this would still allow the viewer to read anything of note (if the guy wasn't going so fast and actually pointed out anything of note, which he was and he didn't, as discussed previously).

"You used to get a little prize or something, didn't ya? Letter to the editor". If you had just slowed down and stayed on that page for more than half a second, you would have seen that the prize was 25p. This was something of note that would have been included in a competent review. Maybe an example of a couple of letters could have been interesting too. What did readers of Cor!! care about almost 50 years ago? What was the quality of writing that was worth 25p at that time?

I also spotted (I had to pause and rewind to see it clearly as he was going so fast) that they were piloting a different strip every week/month/fortnight (the publication schedule, which seems like quite basic information, didn't seem to be included in the review) and were to ask the reader to vote on one that was going to be made in to a complete series. This feature was not even mentioned, so there was no chance of finding out any further details, what happened to the rejected ideas, did they resurface elsewhere in later years? Which one won, how long did it last?

This guy obvious has or had a keen interest in comics at some point. Sadly, whatever enthusiasm he once had for this subject does not come across in this video at all. I can only concluded that he has got bored of this hobby, maybe without realising it himself, and is now only continuing because it is what he does, not because he gets any enjoyment from it. I would urge him to metaphorically put the comics down for a while and return to them when he feels he wants to, not just because it's part of his routine. Maybe this will rekindle the love he obviously once had for these digital items of historical value and interest.

I didn't get past 30 seconds.

But you missed the bit about him scrolling through (what looks like) the entire collection and picking one at random. Looks like what I've done in the past with music - collect, collect, collect, without actually appreciating what you're collecting, or even threshing the chaff.

This is a normal post Genius find
When the expert birder can identify a robin at a 100 yards by the way it drops off a fence, he's always using "jizz".
Edit (the non-puerile but quite interesting bit c&p from wikipedia:


Jizz or giss is a term originally used by birdwatchers to describe the overall impression or appearance of a bird garnered from such features as shape, posture, flying style or other habitual movements, size and colouration combined with voice, habitat and location. The concept is so useful however, that it since has been adopted increasingly widely by field biologists in referring to the impression of the general characteristics of other animals.[1][2][3] It similarly appears in such fields of observational biology as microscopy.[4] Ecologists and botanists may speak of "habitat jizz" or the jizz of a plant.[5]

Sean Dooley described jizz as "the indefinable quality of a particular species, the 'vibe' it gives off" and notes that although it is "dismissed by many as some kind of birding alchemy, there is some physical basis to the idea of jizz."[6]

Experienced birders can often make reliable identifications in the field at a glance by using jizz. Often jizz is useful for identifying to the family or genus level, rather than the species level. For example, "It definitely had the jizz of a thrush, but I couldn't see what kind."

The origin of the word is a mystery. There is a theory that it comes from the World War II air force acronym GISS for "General Impression of Size and Shape (of an aircraft)", but the birding term was first recorded earlier than that in 1922.[7] More likely, jizz is a corruption of gestalt, a German word that roughly means form or shape.[8] Other possibilities include the word gist, or a contraction of just is.
