Great stuff Axel!
Makes me laugh to see old comic characters cropping up here:)
Axel Pressbutton starred at least originally in 'Degradation' a comic strip that appeared in the 80's in the NME (New Musical Express) I believe Alan Moore was in someway connected but I'm not 100 per cent sure. Axel was described as a florist but axe handed psycopathic cyborg would have been a better description, in fact I think he hated vegetation in general as his human body had been partially destroyed in some sort of unfortunate encounter with malcontent alien greenery.
As he no longer possessed 'private parts' his pleasure senses were connected up to the button on his chest, one push and voila, axel would collapse in orgasmic paroxyms on the floor, mostly at the most inapprpriate times in the adventure.
Just for trivia junkies the complete title of the original comic strip ran like this:
"Dempster Dingbunger is my name, Sputwang is my nation. The depths of space gob in my face, the stars my DEGRADATION"
Would be great if anybody had any original comic strips to scan in...here's wishing.
Must dive now, great stuff in this thread axel look forward to seeing more.
