Who knows what evil lies in the heart of ducks? As ever, Alan Moore knows the score: "Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things/ Soft downy feathers and nice little wings/ But there's a poison I'd like to administer/ You think they're cuddly but I think they're sinister" - The March of the Sinister Ducks.

I didn't know if you were joking or not so went away and googled this. It turns out you weren't.

Who knew?

Well, you obviously.

...and probably loads of other people as well.

Oh yes. I used to own the single (Kevin O'Neill and Savage Pencil cover art) but I think at some point I loaned it to someone and never got it back. Then, oddly, some years later I met Sinister Duck, Alex Green (aka Max Ackropolis) when we both did some casual gangwork on a variety of localish farms. Nice chap.
